Pexip has joined the Bleu ISV Partner program, marking a new milestone in its mission to deliver secure video meetings for organizations with the highest requirements for privacy and data protection.
Today’s digital landscape is pushing companies and public administrations to rethink their IT architecture and communication tools. Video collaboration, once a convenience, is now a critical component of organizational security strategies.
Several key factors accelerated this shift:
- Heightened geopolitical tensions and increased state-sponsored attacks
- The growth of regulations such as NIS2, DORA, HDS, and GDPR
- A surge in cyberattacks targeting communication platforms
- The dual promise and risk of AI technologies, including deepfakes and automated bots
As a result, organizations must treat their collaboration tools as strategic assets, ensuring they are secure, compliant, and aligned with business continuity plans.
Many public cloud solutions struggle to meet the highest standards for data sovereignty and protections from extra-territorial regulations. This is why Pexip, a European leader in secure collaboration, has partnered with Bleu, a new French cloud provider founded by Capgemini and Orange, to be among the first software vendors to validate its services for deployment on the Bleu cloud, as part of Bleu's Azure ISV Starter program.
