Why encrypted messaging is a must have for any small business
0Why encrypted messaging is a must-have for any small business.
Today’s technology makes it easier than ever for small businesses to manage communications and take care of those important tasks that help them find new customers. After all, with the ability to connect with work using a smartphone or tablet, you don’t even have to be in the office to get things done!
As great as this technology is, though, it isn’t without its drawbacks — particularly, the risk of having your valuable data stolen. From open wi-fi networks and spy apps to the vulnerability of SS7 protocols, hackers have plenty of avenues with which they can gain access to your messages and confidential information.
So how can you ensure that your growing company’s information is kept safe? These days, firewalls aren’t enough. Every small business should seriously consider encrypted messaging.
To gain a better understanding of the importance of encrypted messaging, I spoke with close friend Justin Shimoon, CEO of Hushed. His company’s app provides end-to-end encryption through its own messaging platform to ensure the security of private conversations and overall peace of mind — something he says is essential not only locally, but globally in today’s business world.
