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.
