London, 12 October, 2017: Armour Communications, a leading provider of specialist, secure communications solutions for iOS and Android smartphones/tablets and Windows 10 Desktop will be showing its flagship solution Armour Mobile, which provides all the functionality of consumer- grade free apps but with the benefit of significantly greater security. Also being exhibited at NIAS is Armour Blue, a sector specific variant of Armour Mobile which incorporates Mission Critical Push To Talk (PTT) functionality, providing features for emergency services and other agencies that need to maintain usability and compatibility with 3GPP MCPTT standards.

Armour Communications delivers collaboration solutions that enable people to communicate securely, using their everyday devices. Armour Mobile delivers secure voice, video and conference calls, plus secures messages and file attachments. The solution protects mobile communications from being intercepted by devices such as IMSI catchers or hacks exploiting security vulnerabilities in SS7 and other protocols. This ensures secure collaboration between trusted colleagues when discussing sensitive and/or classified information.

The entire portfolio of higher assurance solutions has been specifically designed for the unique needs of Government, Defence, covert communities and security conscious enterprise organisations.

David Holman, a director at Armour Communications commented; “Governments, defence and security agencies across the globe are seeking robust, high-assurance solutions to ensure the security and confidentiality of their communications. Armour Mobile protects sensitive and secret communications from eavesdroppers or hackers – without the requirement or costs of a special phone or hardware. The software solution is easily deployed, centrally managed and is available either on the Armour secure cloud, or as a complete on-premises solution where every element of communication is completely locked down and controlled.”

Armour Mobile is the first fully secure communications app to connect to Skype for Business (previously called Lync) using standard Cisco SIP-based technology. This enables Armour users in the field or overseas to communicate securely using voice and video with corporate Skype for Business installations. Jointly, Armour Mobile, Skype for Business and Armour Desktop enable users inside and external to the organisation to communicate transparently within a secure and private environment, while taking advantage of the reduce costs and increased flexibility provided by Voice over IP corporate communications.

Armour Mobile is FIPS 140.2 validated and has been awarded many other certifications including CPA (Commercial Product Assurance) from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and is approved for use at NATO Restricted.
