Organizations today either underestimate their technology vulnerabilities, assuming bad actors are uninterested in what is behind their firewall, or invest heavily in IT frameworks, methodologies, and resources, only to garner a false sense of security.
Whether you are an emerging startup or global enterprise, it is increasingly difficult to ensure, with absolute certainty, that your communications among authorized users are iron-clad secure.
Take for example, the recent discovery that a simple typo caused millions of emails intended for US military personnel to be inadvertently sent to Mali.
That’s right. More than 100,000 emails intended for the “.mil” domain have been sent to “.ml,” the official domain for the West African country. Some of the emails contained “highly sensitive” data including information on military personnel, official itineraries, contracts, maps and images of bases, and medical records.
This happened because users composed emails and mis-typed the address, a common but extremely costly error. This “type” of behavior happens all the time, unintentionally and in some cases with intent. Protecting your organization from data leakage – the opportunity for sensitive information and files to be sent to the wrong recipient – starts with identifying all authorized users.
A secure communication platform like QTel™ (formerly Qphone) ensures all voice and video calls or text messages are transmitted to authorized users, with end-to-end encryption. Only authorized QTel users can engage, send, and receive to others within their organization.
QTel mitigates the risk of your communications from being misdirected, intercepted, or sent to the wrong person.
