#One is the world’s first communication software to combine the highest security-class cybersecurity with strong electronic identification (eID).

Strong eID authentication in video conferencing elevates the security of video communication to a new level by enabling reliable identification of participants.

#One operates on Finnish and European private cloud infrastructure. All user data is processed and stored in certified and audited data centres located in Finland. The solution is particularly suitable for organisations that want to ensure that sensitive information remains protected and compliant under EU legislation. Customers using #One can be confident that they alone own and control their data. All communication is encrypted both in transit over the network and at rest. Dream Broker’s cybersecurity partner, KPMG, regularly audits the security of #One.

“Whoever controls communication platforms and cloud services also has the ability to monitor, disrupt, or prevent user activity. Europe cannot afford to leave this power outside the EU. When data is stored and owned 100% in Finland and the EU, organisations retain genuine control and legal protection over their own data,” says Mika Ahokas, CEO of Dream Broker.

Europe’s cybersecurity cannot be in the hands of others

Digital communication has become an indispensable part of society’s basic and oftentimes critical operations. Yet a large share of European organisations’ confidential data resides in global cloud services ultimately governed by non-EU legislation. In extreme situations, actors outside Europe may cut access to critical communication services, making European data strategically vulnerable.

“In this changing global situation, nothing should come as a surprise anymore. That is why the need for strategic autonomy should be taken seriously,” emphasises Matti Vanhanen, State Counsellor and former Prime Minister of Finland.

The need for communication solutions that are independent of non-European actors and that protect digital sovereignty and security of supply is timely and critical.

“The US National Security Agency (NSA), which among other things is responsible for signals intelligence, is capable of monitoring digital communications worldwide. In an ‘America First’ mindset, national commercial interests are combined with national security, which may endanger European companies’ trade secrets and make participation in international tenders more difficult. For this reason, there is a strong need for European and truly secure communication software,” says long-time IT expert and author Petteri Järvinen.

#One returns secure communication and data control to customers

Recently, global cloud services such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure have experienced outages, the effects of which have spread around the world in an instant. Thanks to its independent and globally non-dependent cloud infrastructure, #One has demonstrably remained available even when other cloud services experience disruptions.

The system guarantees continuity of communication even during geopolitical crises and is designed to scale globally to meet the needs of hundreds of millions of users.

“Over the years, we have been able to develop a unique and secure European cloud infrastructure, particularly suited for video communication, that can be easily scaled to hundreds of millions of end users. A solution fully independent of global public cloud services ensures that there is no ambiguity or backdoor regarding data security or data control, for example under the pretext of non-EU legislation,” explains Sami Siekkinen, CTO of Dream Broker.

#One is free for consumers and offers organisations the most cost-efficient and easiest-to-use solution on the market. It has already proven its operational reliability during outages of cloud giants’ services in sectors where communication must function without interruption, such as finance, public administration, and social and healthcare services.

“It is important for us to be able to stay in touch with our rehabilitation patients even when they are not physically present at our facilities. Equally important is that communication is secure. We have chosen Dream Broker’s #One application as our communication channel. It is also a functional solution for group-based remote meetings,” comments Päivi Hämäläinen, Director of the Masku Neurological Rehabilitation Centre of the Finnish Neurological Association.

Developed by Dream Broker, #One has been built from the ground up for European requirements. It brings together video conferences, calls, chats, messaging, data sharing, data storage, and community spaces into one secure solution - without fragmented systems, multiple applications, or security risks.

“Europe does not need to be merely a user of technology without safeguarding its data. By replacing global and US-based communication services with European solutions, digital self-sufficiency increases, new jobs are created, and tax revenues remain in Europe. We have built a secure, easy-to-use, and competitive communication solution ourselves in Finland,” emphasises Mika Ahokas, CEO of Dream Broker.
