Communication Disruption
The disruption that communication platforms have caused is immense. This digital world rides on the power of these ubiquitous platforms that are an undeniable necessity for any kind of communication. But amidst security breaches and cyber thefts, a generic messaging platform, like WhatsApp, will certainly not be suitable for business/ corporate message exchanges. When business productivity nowadays depends heavily on effective mobile communication, a secure enterprise-grade messaging platform is therefore in great demand. As enterprise messaging covers the growing convergence of both physical and virtual communication, communication glitches across geographical borders get blurred, and it significantly eliminates the threat of security breaches. One such popular enterprise-grade messaging platform provider is Flock. The company is India’s pioneering simple and efficient team messaging app with advanced security features that makes collaboration between any enterprises’ team members easy. Devashish Sharma, CTO, Flock, in an interaction with us explains why not having a strong security apparatus in place can lead to official and confidential company data being compromised and runs the risk of cybertheft
