Secure Financial Communications

Respond to incidents, build resilience, mitigate risk.

Salt offers Financial Service Institutions

Salt Communications provides financial institutions with the ultimate secure communications platform that protects sensitive information, ensures regulatory compliance, and enables them to respond to incidents securely. Our unique product offering is deployed globally by the world’s biggest FIs to protect their communications and provide them with a Safe Haven Network that is always available regardless of an orchestrated cyber attack or an unplanned outage.

Salt can be deployed within a matter of hours regardless of the infrastructure requirement. The mobile and desktop apps have been designed to be extremely easy and intuitive to use.

Managing Security Crises with Salt

Incident response:

When a potential cyberattack is detected, institutions can use Salt’s encrypted voice and messaging features to coordinate a response without fear of eavesdropping, enabling swift action and minimising damage.


Secure critical alerts:

Salt’s broadcasting functions enable institutions to send urgent messages to specific user groups, overriding silent settings to ensure timely communication during emergencies.


Information sharing:

In cases of mass cyber threats, institutions can use Salt to securely share intelligence with other banks, enhancing the resilience of the entire financial sector against coordinated attacks.

Safe Haven
Network

Salt Communications offers a “safe haven network”, a dedicated, isolated network, under the control of the Risk and Security team within an organisation.

Isolation from main network:

This network is designed to function independently from the main corporate IT infrastructure. This separation ensures that communication remains available, even if the main network is compromised by a cyberattack or ransomware.

Rapid deployment:

The safe haven network can be deployed quickly, often within 24 hours, providing a secure communication channel in a crisis.

Control and resilience:

The customer’s security team manages the safe haven network, ensuring security and allowing them to react swiftly and effectively to emerging threats.

Strengthen your financial communications

By offering these robust features, Salt Communications empowers financial institutions to maintain control over their communications, improve security, and demonstrate compliance, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and trustworthy financial ecosystem.
