What makes an ideal enterprise messaging solution? A thorough examination

[davidalismichael]

 

Publicly available chat apps are infested with several security issues which can prove detrimental to enterprise-level usage.

Some such issues include:

• Inadequate end-to-end encryption

• Storage of past conversions

• Limited user identity verification abilities

• Code unavailable for open review

• Inadequate server level that lets the app provider read the messages

• Increased possibilities of message interception

• Access to other sensitive information/rights in the user device

An enterprise chat app differentiates itself on the above grounds by providing end-to-end encryption, well-designed and documented crypto design, HMAC like encryption, etc.

In short, it is military-grade security for conversations that enterprise-level users will exchange.
