Armour wins top honours at SC Awards for 3rd time

We are delighted to announce that the Armour Secure Communications Platform has won Best Communications Security Solution at the SC Awards Europe 2024.  This is the 3^rd time that we have won, the previous times being 2019 with Armour Mobile™, and 2022 with Unity by Armour, while in 2021 Armour Mobile was Highly Commended.

David Holman, co-founder and Director of Armour stated: “This award is a testament to Armour’s continued focus on developing solutions that balance security with usability ensuring that our products are as engaging and easy to use as consumer-grade products, but with significantly more robust security. We are particularly pleased with the Judges’ comments which included saying that the platform seems highly convenient for customers to use and integrate, and that it meets the highest security standards.” 

“And I’d like to say a huge well done and thank you to everyone on the team at Armour that has made this happen!”

The Armour Secure Communications Platform was developed to address the escalating need for secure mobile business communications amidst the proliferation of AI-powered impersonation attacks and deepfakes. It provides an integrated, user-friendly solution designed for secure collaboration across BYOD phone and tablet devices and desktops, suitable for use even on untrusted networks. This platform combines several critical functions, including Armour Mobile for secure calls and instant messaging, Armour Unity™ for secure video conferencing, and Armour Recall™ for archiving and auditing communications information.

Armour Bridge™ and Armour Connect™ provide interoperability for cross domain solutions with other messaging and voice platforms so that users of Armour Mobile and Unity can communicate with others outside of the Armour ecosystem, when required.

The platform encrypts data throughout its lifecycle and is fortified with stringent security measures, such as constraints on message retention and data forwarding, along with the capability to automatically erase all Armour data in the event of device compromise. It utilises identity-based authentication with NCSC’s MIKEY-SAKKE protocol, significantly enhancing security by preventing identity spoofing and securing communications, especially during video conferences.

Armour technology is widely adopted by the defence sector and is also crucial for regulated industries such as financial services and legal, enabling them to adhere to strict regulatory requirements. The Armour Recall function, in particular, conserves details of communications which can be reviewed as required for public records and Freedom of Information requests, to prove compliance with data protection regulations, or to investigate potential wrongdoing, saving significant time over traditional methods.
