Sectra Introduces Secure Mobile Platform in Europe
- New service targets sensitive but unclassified communication needs
Sectra, the Swedish cybersecurity and medical IT company, has launched Sectra Tiger/E Managed Service, a secure collaboration platform designed for authorities, municipalities, essential entities, and corporations. The solution provides encrypted calls, video, and chat, alongside endpoint security and high availability. It is tailored for sensitive but formally unclassified information, filling a gap between everyday communication tools and classified systems. The platform aims to make secure collaboration more accessible and practical across sectors.
Features and Architecture
Sectra Tiger/E Managed Service integrates hardened Samsung Knox devices, a dual-environment setup, and a quantum-resilient VPN. By separating sensitive collaboration from everyday tasks, the system allows users to maintain mobility without compromising security. End-to-end encryption and strong endpoint protection are built into the service, ensuring resilience against cyber threats. As a fully managed solution, it reduces the workload on internal IT teams while maintaining reliability for organizations that cannot afford downtime.
Magnus Skogberg, President of Sectra Communications, emphasized the importance of usability in secure systems. He noted that solutions must be simple and intuitive to encourage adoption, particularly in crisis situations. Recent conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine, have highlighted the need for accessible secure communication. Sectra’s approach is intended to balance strong protection with ease of use.
Applications and Use Cases
The platform supports both routine sensitive communication and urgent collaboration during critical events. Businesses can use it to protect trade secrets, while public institutions may rely on it for secure coordination. The dual-zone architecture ensures that users can switch between everyday tasks and secure communication seamlessly. This flexibility is designed to meet the diverse needs of modern organizations.
Sectra Tiger/E builds on the company’s experience with solutions for RESTRICTED, SECRET, and TOP SECRET communication. While not intended for classified information, it applies proven security practices to unclassified but sensitive contexts. The “E” in Tiger/E stands for “essentials,” reflecting its role in safeguarding information that requires enhanced protection. It complements Sectra Tiger/S, which is used for SECRET-level communication.
Availability and Broader Context
The new service is available immediately to organizations seeking stronger security and jurisdictional control. It is positioned as a tool to help entities adapt to a rapidly changing threat landscape. Sectra highlights that the platform supports national resilience by combining advanced encryption with managed service reliability. The company sees it as part of a broader effort to strengthen secure communication across Europe.
Sectra has a long history of providing secure communication solutions to European governments and defense organizations. Its Tiger/S system is already widely used for SECRET-level communication, making Tiger/E a natural extension into the unclassified but sensitive domain. This layered approach reflects how governments and corporations increasingly view secure communication as essential at multiple levels of information handling.
