AWS Wickr now allows your Wickr network users to interact with individuals outside your organization. Anyone can sign-up for a Wickr guest account with their email address, and participate in secure conversations that are initiated by licensed Wickr network users. Wickr administrators can enable or disable the guest user feature for individual security groups in the Wickr admin console.
Wickr is an end-to-end encrypted messaging and collaboration service with features designed to help keep your communications secure, private, and compliant. Wickr protects one-to-one and group messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and location sharing with 256-bit encryption. The guest user feature strengthens your ability to collaborate with people outside of your organization, while protecting sensitive data. Both internal and external communications in a Wickr network can be logged to a private data store that you manage for data retention and auditing purposes.
Wickr is currently available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Northern Virginia), GovCloud (US-West), Canada (Central), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), and Asia Pacific (Sydney).
