Security Nudge. Use Encrypted Messaging & Calling Apps. Sponsored By CybSafe.
Update: 2025-01-02
Description
Chinese hacker group Salt Typhoon’s breach of telecommunications networks has given it unprecedented access to networks across the US and around the world – but there is something you can do about it. If your work involves confidential and sensitive information – or if records of who you are communicating with could be valuable information for outsiders – the Verge reports that the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are recommending that you use encrypted messaging and calling apps where possible. That means using services like Signal and WhatsApp to make sensitive calls instead of regular phone services. These services bypass cell phone networks and use the Internet instead, encrypting all data sent between your phone and that of the person you’re calling – meaning that even if the hackers wanted to listen to your call, they wouldn’t be able to. If you’re not sure how to use them, whether your company policies prevent their use, or whether your company prefers that you use a different system, check with your IT department. The 60-second "Security Nudge" is brought to you by CybSafe, developers of the Human Risk Management Platform. Learn more at https://cybsafe.com
