AI search keeps failing in the field. Here's what we found when we tested ours.

Apr 9, 2026 By Pavithra Sudhakar In Rocket.Chat
If you run secure messaging at scale, you already know the problem: the information was shared, the thread exists, and nobody can find it when it counts. In high-stakes environments, scattered knowledge is a mission risk. In Rocket.Chat v8.0, we built Intelligent Search to close that gap. We stress-tested it against 1.2 million real, messy, conversational messages, the kind that actually move through operational environments, and published every result including the uncomfortable ones.

End-to-end encryption for government: what decision-makers need to know

Mar 24, 2026 By Sara Ana Cemazar In Rocket.Chat
‍For EU government organizations and critical infrastructure operators, end-to-end encryption is no longer an architectural choice — it is a regulatory obligation. NIS2, which came into force across EU member states in October 2024, explicitly requires essential and important entities to implement encryption as part of their cybersecurity risk management measures.

Gartner estimates that shadow IT accounts for 30 to 40 percent of IT spending in large enterprises, with Everest Group putting the figure at 50 percent or more.

Digital sovereignty: what it means for European governments and critical infrastructure

Feb 26, 2026 By Sara Ana Cemazar In Rocket.Chat
‍Digital sovereignty, in its most operational definition, is the ability to guarantee that no external government, corporation, or court can compel access to your data without your knowledge and consent. For European governments and critical infrastructure operators, that guarantee is increasingly difficult to make when core communication tools operate under legal frameworks that sit outside EU jurisdiction.
