Uniquon Launches Crypty – The Italian Secure Messaging App Designed to Protect Business Communications

Brescia, 12 July 2021 – Uniquon, the global group driving digital transformation across enterprises, proudly presents Crypty—a next-generation platform developed by the eponymous start-up to safeguard corporate mobile communications against interception and cyber threats.

In recent years, messaging platforms have proliferated, serving not only for private exchanges but increasingly as channels for dialogue with clients, employees, business partners, and consultants.

According to the SME Observatory, WhatsApp has now overtaken email as the preferred communication tool in professional settings.

Conversely, the past twelve months have seen a marked surge in cyberattacks targeting businesses, with significant repercussions for productivity. These range from operational disruptions to reputational damage and the theft of critical data. Today’s threat landscape is broader and more complex than ever before.

Crypty was conceived for organisations that recognise the value of the information they exchange. The app—independently audited and certified—promises unrivalled security, offering a suite of unique features: full end-to-end encryption (not limited to partial elements), complete user anonymity (no email address or phone number required), trojan detection, message self-destruction, remote data wipe capabilities, and more. The result is an application specifically engineered for the handling of confidential and sensitive data.

According to Riz Zigliani, CEO of Uniquon, the solution was designed to ensure optimal protection for communications across smartphones and tablets—with a Windows version also available.

"In the past year, the widespread adoption of remote working has significantly accelerated the use of mobile devices and external communications beyond corporate firewalls. The digital landscape continues to evolve, with increasingly frequent and sophisticated attacks. This trend is set to persist, as cybercrime presents a comparatively low risk and exceptionally high potential for financial gain."

Experts urge organisations to remain fully aware of the dangers associated with sharing confidential information—particularly via messaging apps—and to take appropriate precautions. The human factor—be it malicious, negligent, or simply unaware—often represents the weakest link in any security framework.

Zigliani affirms that Crypty responds to a critical need in safeguarding everyday communications, including messages, calls, chats, and the sharing of files, images, and videos—both in personal and professional settings.

"It is not only large enterprises or institutions that are being targeted—small and medium-sized businesses, as well as professional practices, are increasingly vulnerable.Our business model is simple and transparent: Crypty was purpose-built for secure communication. We have assembled top-tier expertise and invested significantly in its development and continuous improvement. In return, we ask users to subscribe to the service. Free applications like WhatsApp monetise user data—an approach that clearly presents a conflict of interest when it comes to security."
