Protecting Our Secrets
One of the biggest things that has made our company successful is that we keep our way of doing things secret. This means that we have a strict information handling policy and only use land lines in our office.
But recently, we have given some of our management cell phones to stay in touch. It has been much easier than trying to track them down as they are only a phone call away. But this convenience hasn’t been without any difficulties.
We quickly learned that in their current state, the phones we were using could be a potential security risk. You couldn’t make a secure call from them, which meant there was a chance that some of our secrets could leak from our organization.
Once we identified the risk, we quickly located a company that provided gsm encryption software which ensured that the quality of the voice encryption would be so good that it would be nearly impossible to eavesdrop on our conversations. It is just one more step we have taken to ensure that our company maintains its’ edge over our competitors.
