We’re implementing the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol into our platform architecture. This will be the world’s first implementation of the MLS protocol in a federated environment and it marks the start of MLS as an open standard solution for communication. But what does this actually mean? Well, let us explain.. Driven by the lack of an open standard for end-to-end encryption, the MLS protocol aims to make secure messaging in (large) groups more efficient. It addresses the fact that while personal messaging systems are increasingly adopting end-to-end encryption (which is great!), corporate messaging has been slow to follow. MLS is on track to become the premiere open standard for secure and efficient collaboration for businesses, governments, and the wider public. Co-initiated by Wire™ as part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Working Group which includes members from Cisco, Mozilla, Google, Meta, Twitter, the University of Oxford and Inria, MLS is a new protocol designed to bolster the security of enterprise messaging platforms.

In a new article, our own Jasper de Taeye shares his predictions on the evolution of cybercrime in the next 5 years: "I know that a lot of companies already invest in cybersecurity and are developing their organisation accordingly but I believe that this pandemic, with the vast amount of employees working from home, will just give that last push for organisations to start committing fully to establishing a cybersecure organisation."
We are actively leading the work on extending our security standards to become the norm for protecting digital assets. This is why #MLS is the Future of Enterprise Communication. Get to know how Co-Founder and CTO Alan Duric build a groundbreaking new security standard - Messaging Layer Security (MLS) - to counter unfavorable odds and win the bet against cyber threats.
