Secure Out of Band Communications.
For classified discussions, business continuity and incident response.
Out of Band with that extra element
Element provides a deployment-ready Out of Band solution that supports digital sovereignty, interoperability and end-to-end encryption. It can be configured to support a range of use cases.
Incident response
Cybersecurity teams need to remain operational during an attack. Element can run on a separate network with powerful mobile and desktop apps, enabling real time collaboration whenever and wherever it’s needed.
Mission-critical teams
Some teams cannot afford to go offline. Element uses the decentralised Matrix open standard to provide a resilient, zero-trust network that stays available even in low-bandwidth or remote environments with challenging conditions.
Private conversations for senior executives
Senior executives often discuss highly sensitive matters across time zones. Element provides mobile-first, secure collaboration, ensuring confidential communication and allowing secondary devices to access conversations if a primary device is lost or unavailable.
Connecting high-side and low-side
Sharing critical information across classification levels is often slow and manual. Element’s Cross Domain Gateways securely bridge partitioned networks, enforcing policies and enabling controlled, secure message transfer while maintaining strict separation.
Air-gapped
Highly sensitive operations may require complete isolation. Element can be self-hosted in air-gapped networks to provide modern messaging for laptops and mobile devices, without any connection to the internet.
The importance of an Out of Band solution
Avoid relying on consumer apps
Fallback on WhatsApp or Signal isn’t an option; only enterprise-grade Out of Band solutions meet compliance, control and security needs.
Remain operational during outages
A decentralised network delivers mission-critical performance, ensuring communications continue through global service disruptions.
Protect sensitive teams
‘Secure enough’ isn’t enough for critical functions. Out of Band channels keep communications confidential and under control.
Limit damage from attacks
Incident response teams remain operational on a fully end-to-end encrypted, separate network, even during cyber incidents.
The problem with in-band comms.
When major attacks disrupt critical systems, operations need a resilient, end-to-end encrypted Out of Band platform on a separate network.
