Security in uncertain times
“In geopolitically uncertain times like these, the ability to communicate securely is essential – especially for the public sector and regulated companies. Wire offers its customers security and privacy without compromise – and is developed entirely in Germany. This creates transparency and digital sovereignty,” says Juan Perea Rodríguez, General Manager and CCO of Wire. “I’m looking forward to the upcoming challenge and to working with many inspiring colleagues.”
Wire offers its customers an end-to-end encrypted communications platform for audio and video calls as well as chat communications and secure data transfer. The solution can be used either cloud-based or, for increased security requirements, on-premise. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has already issued a clearance recommendation for Wire for the communication of content classified as VS-NfD (Confidential). Over 1800 organizations worldwide rely on Wire’s secure communications solutions, including governments, parliaments, law enforcement and investigative agencies, as well as companies and infrastructure providers in areas such as telecommunications or energy.
As the co-initiators and key contributors of the IETF Messaging Layer Security (MLS) standard, which is about to be adopted, Wire is currently helping to lay the foundations for the future of secure communications and communications in general.
