secunet acquires stashcat and focuses on secure messaging and video conferencing

"Messenger apps have become an integral part of our everyday lives. In contrast to other messengers, stashcat clearly focuses on security and data protection - this fits in perfectly with secunet's requirements and those of our customers," explains Axel Deininger, CEO of secunet. "With the acquisition of stashcat, we are creating an additional offering for secure and flexible communication and collaboration in companies, administration and security authorities such as the police."

"We are delighted to have found a strong partner in secunet who wants to continue the successful history of stashcat together with us," comments stashcat CEO Christopher Bick.

The acquisition adds another building block to secunet's powerful cyber security portfolio: For companies and public authorities, stashcat offers a genuine, GDPR-compliant alternative to established messengers and file repositories such as WhatsApp and Dropbox.
