Defence organisations need to take robust action to secure their internal and supply chain communications to avoid becoming victims of malicious attacks that can result in damage to reputation and loss of contracts.
Armour has developed a secure mobile communications platform that enables businesses operating in the Defence sector to communicate securely from any location on standard iOS, Android & Windows 10 devices. A NATO approved WhatsApp alternative, Armour Mobile enables secure collaboration protecting the huge investments made in bid processes and project deliveries.
Armour Mobile provides a remote working solution that is approved for use up to OFFICIAL SENSITIVE and NATO Restricted. In addition, use of Armour Mobile as a WhatsApp replacement ensures that any communications that are subject to possible Freedom of Information (FOI) requests will be preserved ensuring accountability for the public record.
