AWS Wickr is now available in the AWS Canada (Central) Region. This expansion allows organizations based in Canada to establish an AWS Wickr network in their geography to help facilitate compliance with local data residency needs and other regulations. The expansion also allows organizations to manage networks across multiple commercial regions and marks the beginning of AWS Wickr’s regional expansion beyond the United States.
AWS Wickr is an end-to-end encrypted enterprise messaging and collaboration service that helps organizations communicate securely with internal and external users while helping meet data retention requirements. With AWS Wickr, you can enable one-to-one and group messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and location sharing, without increasing organizational risk. AWS Wickr networks can be quickly created through the AWS Management Console, and workflows can be automated with AWS Wickr bots. AWS Wickr allows you to maintain administrative control over data, including setting permissions, configuring ephemeral messaging options, and defining security groups. Information can be logged to a private, customer-controlled data store for retention and auditing purposes.
AWS Wickr is generally available in the AWS US East (Northern Virginia) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions, and now the AWS Canada (Central) Region. For a complete list of AWS services available in the Canada Region, please visit the AWS Region Table.
