Athena Chat – secure chat for all users and admins
The end-to-end encrypted chat feature for Athena Board is designed to provide board members with a secure, confidential, and streamlined communication channel that integrates seamlessly with the platform’s existing governance tools. This feature is a significant enhancement to the platform’s security framework, ensuring that informal yet sensitive discussions are conducted with the highest level of data protection.
This new capability addresses the critical need for a dedicated, secure space for board members to communicate without relying on vulnerable corporate or personal email systems. With end-to-end encryption, Athena Chat ensures that only the sender and intended recipients can access message content, safeguarding confidential information from potential interception by unauthorised parties, including internal IT staff of a board member’s primary employer.
