Wire is a secure communications platform designed for enterprise and government use, offering end-to-end encrypted messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, and document collaboration. The platform uses MLS (Messaging Layer Security) encryption, described as always-on and zero-knowledge, meaning Wire itself cannot access user communications or data. Wire targets two primary market segments: enterprises and government/public sector organizations. For enterprises, the platform provides SAML-based single sign-on (SSO), SCIM provisioning support, and granular administrative controls suited for complex organizational structures. For government clients, Wire emphasizes data sovereignty, federated deployment environments, ID Shield protection, and comprehensive on-premises deployment options. The platform positions itself as compliant with stringent international data protection and privacy standards. Customers listed include organizations such as the US Air Force, BMW, EY, the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Schwarz Gruppe, Greenpeace, and Médecins Sans Frontières, indicating a broad range of industries and geographies served. Wire supports self-hosted and on-premises deployments, which is particularly relevant for government and regulated-industry customers seeking full control over their data infrastructure. The company has reported expansion into the Middle East market, indicating ongoing international growth efforts. Wire serves over 1,800 organizations globally.
