AWS Wickr launches admin APIs for programmatic network management at scale
AWS Wickr now provides a suite of admin APIs that empower administrators to programmatically manage secure communication networks at scale. These APIs enable you to automate critical administrative workflows including user lifecycle management, network configuration, and security group administration. With user lifecycle management APIs, you can automatically create users and assign security groups when employees join, or deactivate accounts when they leave. Network configuration APIs allow you to quickly create or delete networks on demand as your organization scales or restructures, and push standardized retention and federation policies across departments. Security group administration APIs enable automatic user placement based on directory attributes such as job function or clearance level. By connecting Wickr administration directly into your identity management systems, policy management frameworks, and automation pipelines, you can now manage secure communications infrastructure across thousands of users alongside your other cloud service integrations.
AWS Wickr is a security-first messaging and collaboration service designed to help keep your communications secure, private, and compliant. AWS Wickr protects messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and location sharing with end-to-end encryption. Customers have full administrative control over data and users, including single sign-on (SSO) integration. Administrators can enforce policies that set password complexity and retention rules, configure ephemeral messaging options, or remotely delete credentials. You can log conversations to a private data store so you can retain messages and files sent to and from the organization to meet compliance requirements.
The AWS Wickr Admin APIs are available today in all AWS regions where AWS Wickr is currently supported, including AWS GovCloud (US-West). You can leverage these APIs through AWS SDKs, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or direct REST API calls. To learn more, see:
