“The NSA’s highest marks went to Facebook’s WhatsApp, Signal (whose code WhatsApp uses), and rival chat app Wickr. Some of the grading criteria: Does the service use end-to-end encryption, which blocks eavesdroppers and snoops? Does it have multi-factor authentication, an option that securely locks down user accounts? Is the technology based on publicly inspectable, open-source code, which is considered more secure than inscrutable proprietary software?”
We are pleased to share that Wickr has been acquired by Amazon and is now part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) team. We’re proud to have created highly trusted, secure communication solutions for messaging, video conferencing, file sharing, and more. From our founding ten years ago, we have grown to serve organizations across a wide range of industries, all over the world. Together with AWS, we look forward to taking our solutions to the next level for our customers and partners. Learn more here →
