RingCentral announces end-to-end-encryption solution

RingCentral has announced it is expanding its end-to-end encryption (E2EE) beyond support for video to include both phone and messaging within its flagship RingCentral MVP product.

E2EE technology prevents any unauthorised third party from accessing users’ communications. This provides privacy for privileged conversations as well as protection against third party intrusion and attacks.  

Michael Armer, chief information security officer at RingCentral, explained, “We believe our approach to end-to-end encryption across message, video, and phone is truly differentiated, and represents the most complete deployment of E2EE for enterprise communications, to date.

“People exchange millions of calls and messages a day on RingCentral’s platform. With our new E2EE, we’re extending enterprise-grade privacy and security controls for our customers, giving them the freedom to have confidential conversations across any mode.”

RingCentral E2EE extends enterprise-grade confidentiality across chats, calls, and meetings and extends more privacy and security controls in the hands of enterprises.

Benefits include expanded support beyond 1:1 calls or messages; availability on desktop, mobile, or browser; and the ability to turn on E2EE in the middle of a call or meeting.
