Wire creates a secure environment for rapid crisis communication and protects sensitive information when it matters most. It stays available through outages, compromise, or attack, and gives organizations a dependable fallback channel.
Robust, scalable security made simple.
The Costly Threat Environment
Major incidents demand fast and secure communication, yet most organizations struggle to maintain both. When incidents strike, communication can’t fail. Cyber breaches now cost $4.9 million on average, cybercrime exceeded US $16B in 2024, and cloud outages are increasing in both frequency (+18%) and duration (+19%). Organizations need a secure, resilient communication channel built for emergencies,with a reliable fallback when primary tools fail.
Why Organizations Need Secure Crisis Communication
- Secure communication with full end-to-end encryption by default
- Reliable availability during outages, overload, or attack
