Is it worth maintaining separate emergency communication channels to protect your organization from potential cyberattacks?
BreachRx has integrated new out-of-band communication capabilities into its Rex Platform, allowing teams to maintain contact during cyberattacks. The features include email, chat, audio, and video channels separated from primary corporate networks.
Why it matters
These tools provide a reliable method for incident response teams to coordinate when standard systems are compromised, untrusted, or completely offline. By enabling secure communication channels, organizations can sustain operations during security breaches.
The Rex Platform now supports integrated shared workspaces and preconfigured access permissions for both internal teams and approved outside parties. The system also enables the execution of tabletop exercises and simulated response scenarios within the platform.
The players

The Tech Race
This development reflects a broader industry shift toward creating hardened digital bunkers that function independently of main corporate infrastructure. It replaces reliance on vulnerable internal messaging systems with dedicated secure channels designed to withstand active breaches.
Incident response teams can now preconfigure access permissions to reduce delays when an actual breach occurs. These updates simplify the coordination process with outside consultants, ensuring all parties remain on a secure network during a crisis.
The takeaway
Maintaining independent communication lines is critical for organizations facing sophisticated cyber threats. Teams should practice using these out-of-band tools during simulated exercises to ensure readiness before an incident occurs.
