London, UK, 16 October 2024 – Armour® Comms has announced that Armour Unity™, its secure video conferencing and collaboration solution is now shipping. Armour Unity extends the Armour secure communications platform to provide an industry-first, secure, enterprise-level mobile video conferencing and in-app messaging for iOS and Android devices. In common with Armour Mobile™, Armour Unity uses the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) MIKEY-SAKKE protocol to provide identity-based encryption and authentication, and is designed to support the NCSC Advanced Mobile solution architecture.  This means that users can be confident that everyone else on a call is who they claim to be, mitigating the risk of uninvited ‘guests’ joining a call and deepfake, impersonation-based attacks.

David Holman, Director at Armour Comms, explained: “Mass-use consumer applications are simply not secure enough for most sensitive communications.  This is because there is no control over communications data, you don’t know where it is stored, who might have access to it or how they might use your data. The rise of impersonation and deepfake attacks on organisations is growing, causing issues for organisations’ processes and governance around sharing sensitive data, and the potential for fraudulent transactions.  In addition, Microsoft has recently admitted that it cannot guarantee data sovereignty for its UK government/public sector customers.

“Armour Unity solves these problems by providing organisations with complete control over their secure communications platform including where sensitive data is stored. Central administration controls all aspects of security settings as well as users.  Only those that are invited to join the platform and provisioned can subsequently then join a call, keeping all users’ and the organisation’s data secure.”
