However, many industries outside of the healthcare sector have also found miSecureMessages to be a valuable encrypted messenger solution as well.

miSecureMessages’ 10th anniversary is occurring during unprecedented times. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the considerable importance of maintaining personal space while communicating with co-workers.


In a few months, miSecureMessages will release a highly anticipated update to version 6.8. New capabilities such as single sign-on (SSO), as well as enhanced app performance and additional integration capabilities will be included in the update.
