Why Wire Stands Out in a Crowded Cybersecurity Market

Wire is Europe’s leading secure communication platform, trusted by over 1,800 organisations and more than 20 million users. In 2025 alone, we achieved 85% year-over-year revenue growth and 60% growth through May, signaling the rising demand for sovereign, secure communication solutions across both the public and private sectors.

We are the first company to bring Message Layer Security (MLS) to the enterprise at scale, successfully rolling it out to thousands of clients across governments, defence agencies, and high-compliance industries. Every aspect of Wire — from real-time messaging and file sharing to conferencing — is protected by end-to-end encryption, with our open-source architecture ensuring full transparency and auditability.

This year, we expanded our capabilities with the acquisition of Pydio, a secure enterprise content management platform. Together, Wire and Pydio now offer encrypted document sharing, automation workflows, and full-stack deployment options, creating a unified workspace for organisations where security cannot be compromised.

Our customers include the US Air Force, Amnesty International, BMW, the Schwarz Group, and several EU institutions. From secure supply chain communications to NIS2 compliance, Wire is trusted where security, control, and accountability are non-negotiable.

Aligned with Europe’s digital sovereignty agenda, our infrastructure is hosted in Germany and Ireland, with on-premises deployment options for organisations that require full data control. Later this year, we will launch a new SDK to enable partners and customers to build tailored secure apps using Wire’s core engine — expanding our impact beyond communication to become a modular platform for critical public infrastructure.

“Wire sits at the intersection of trust, innovation, and sovereignty.”

— Benjamin Schilz, CEO
