Good news for Threema Work administrators: With the latest Threema Work and Threema Broadcast update, centrally managed groups and distribution lists can be automatically created and managed based on tags. This significantly reduces the administrative workload.

Email, collaboration tool, chat app, telephone: digital infrastructures in companies are becoming increasingly complex. Furthermore, the fact that the number of cyberattacks continues to grow makes having a reliable out-of-band communication tool increasingly urgent – especially in light of the EU’s NIS2 Directive, which is to be transposed into national law by October 17, 2024. The regulation obligates operators of critical infrastructures to ensure communication and business continuity in the event of a cyberattack.

The US-based market research company Forrester has published a comprehensive comparison of secure communications solutions. In the 2024 report, Threema is identified as a leader among top vendors on the market.

The demand for secure corporate communication is increasing across Europe. This is in part because EU regulations such as NIS2 and DORA require companies to have a secure communication channel in place. As a result, more and more companies in the Spanish-speaking market are relying on Threema Work. To make it easier for them to manage their users, the management cockpit of Threema Work and Threema Broadcast is now also available in Spanish (in addition to German and English).

Since the Threema Work app has been available in Spanish for a while, translating the management cockpit was the next logical step, which greatly facilitates daily work for administrators.

The number of cyber incidents has been rising for years, and attacks on companies are becoming more aggressive and increasingly sophisticated. These worrying trends pose new organizational and financial challenges for companies. A study commissioned by Threema felt the pulse of managers from different business sectors. The goal of the study was to see what role cybersecurity plays in companies, with a focus on communication tools and mobile devices.

Threema Work’s management cockpit has received one of the most extensive updates in years. Not only was the user management completely redesigned, but various useful features were added to help administrators manage users in a more intuitive and efficient manner.

Federation is sometimes considered the system of the future. It’s not surprising, therefore, that federated chat services are becoming more popular in certain circles. Although their advantage is that they are not dependent on a single server operator, there are a number of major drawbacks in terms of security and privacy protection compared to centrally managed solutions.

In an emergency, every minute counts. To make sure the injured persons get help as quickly as possible, smooth and efficient communication is essential.

For seamless communication during rescue missions, the Swiss Alpine Rescue (SAR) therefore relies on the business messenger Threema Work. 84 rescue stations throughout Switzerland and around 3,300 rescuers use the secure and privacy-compliant communication channel.

Instant messaging not only facilitates communication in private life but also in the business environment. Every day, countless chat messages are exchanged among work colleagues and business partners – often including confidential information and personal data. However, mobile phones have become a popular target for cybercriminals, which requires companies to ensure that instant messaging at work is on the right track.

Threema Work’s new promo clip shows how companies avoid dangerous shadow IT and protect employees against cyber threats. It also demonstrates the versatile use cases of a secure business messenger and touches on the features and benefits Threema Work has to offer.

Group calls become available across the board, unleashing their full potential and allowing all Threema Work users to conduct end-to-end encrypted voice and video calls in group chats.

At the end of 2022, the European Union launched a set of regulations (NIS2, DORA, and CER) that aim to reduce vulnerabilities for cyberattacks in organizations and strengthen the physical resilience of critical entities. The scope of the new legal framework is wide-ranging and imposes profound changes on organizations.

On September 1, 2023, the new Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) came into effect. The revision aligns the level of protection for personal data in Switzerland with the one the GDPR requires, thus ensuring that the European Commission’s adequacy decision will be renewed. This allows companies from Switzerland and the EEA to continue to exchange and process data in a legally compliant way.
