Nowadays, sensitive and important data moves through everyday business channels that offer only a basic level of security and encryption, and companies often overlook the risks. Case in point: Disney suffered a staggering data breach from a hacking group known as NullBulge, which obtained more than 1.2 terabytes of data from internal Disney Slack messaging channels. As a result of the hack, confidential information was exposed, including:
- details about unreleased projects,
- computer code,
- login details and passwords, and
- Intellectual Property (IP) and Trade Secrets.
The Slack breaches also affected companies such as Uber, Rockstar and Electronic Arts (EA). Cisco Webex, used by the German Bundeswehr, leaked data from hundreds of meetings, some of which were classified. Outlook was hacked by Chinese hackers last year.
We have nothing against any of the above tools. They are all great collaboration tools. However, companies don’t allow developers to use any old tools to provide code (hint, they often use managing privileged access), they must not allow the use of unauthorized channels for sensitive and business-critical communications involving restricted, sensitive or classified data. That’s why we at SSH Communications Security have built a portfolio of solutions to meet the needs.
Let’s take a look at six ways our solution can protect confidential communications.
Introducing SalaX Secure Collaboration 2024 for secure communication
1. Authorized to share confidential data
Since the invention of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the company’s namesake, we at SSH have been obsessed with security. We are an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified company. Ours SalaX 2024 Safe Collaboration the portfolio includes products that have achieved security classification TL III (EU confidential) by Traficom’s NCSA function, the official approval of cryptographic products in Finland.
That’s why SalaX Secure Collaboration 2024 is trusted by authorities, government agencies, banks and law firms.
2. Default security setting: high
While tools like Slack and Teams are great for everyday business discussions, they weren’t built with security in mind. There are ways to extend the security features of both solutions, but they either cost more or require additional configurations to work. What you need is a solution with built-in end-to-end encryption that ensures messages are not decrypted at any point along the way. Senders and recipients can be verified using a variety of strong authentication methods. Even we as a supplier cannot see any correspondence that goes through your authorized channels.
3. Meet data sovereignty requirements with flexible deployment options
Most online collaboration tools are only available as a service hosted in someone else’s cloud. SalaX Secure Collaboration 2024 gives you the flexibility to host in the public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises (or any combination in between) so you can fully control your secure communication channels and have full ownership of sensitive data when needed. You can ensure that your communication leaves no traces on the public Internet.
4. Our secret handshake: Let’s exchange encryption keys!
How to make online collaboration extremely secure? Ensuring that you and your interlocutors share your private encryption keys before communication even begins! Technically, it all happens under the hood, so it’s simple for the user, but you don’t start talking to anyone before you agree to receive messages from them using our solution. After that, the conversation is only between people in the group chat or chat room. Besides…
5. Comply with recordkeeping and auditing requirements
…if you need an audit trail. Over the past 2-3 years, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined several American investment companies for non-compliance with record keeping requirements. Companies have been guilty of sending and receiving illegal messages using tools like WhatsApp and Signal. These tools do not create an adequate and tamper-proof audit trail of activity, as does our SalaX Secure Collaboration 2024. Compliance with the accounting policy is mandatory.
6. Based on battle-tested technology
Just as the Secure Shell protocol has become the de facto standard for human-to-server and server-to-server communications, we’ve chosen a technology widely used and trusted by governments and highly regulated industries around the world: Element. Solutions like Slack integrate with it for a reason.
SalaX Secure Collaboration 2024 is built on Element technology, enabling your business to join a network of organizations using a widely available platform for secure communication.
