Communication Security Group: Providing Military-Grade, End-to-End Encrypted Communications

Cellcrypt is the trusted encrypted communications network used by government, military and enterprise globally. The network offers military-grade, end-to-end encryption across voice/conference calling, instant messaging and file sharing in a user-friendly app, all of which is enterprise-ready and can be integrated into existing equipment and IT infrastructure. Cellcrypt enables organizations to communicate safely and expands the enterprise network security to the mobile environment and distributed workforce with confidence.

The ongoing global health crisis has seen an unprecedented number of employees working from home. Organizations have needed to rapidly react, adapt and improvise information technology systems and policies in order to maintain business continuity. This is oftentimes at the expense of security and privacy due to insufficient capabilities or inadequate solutions. Governments and businesses are waking up to the fact that their communications have never been at greater risk from cybercrime and exposure, and that they require an enterprise-ready solution that protects critical data, privacy and the expanded network security requirements of a distributed workforce.

Threats

Non-secured communications can place an enterprise at great risk of interception and exploitation, from opportunistic cybercriminals to industrial espionage, home and foreign governments, and even the messaging platforms themselves, many of which are designed to prioritize the gathering and monetization of user data. The cost of a breach can include threats to personal safety, reputational damage, theft and monetary loss, forfeit of competitive advantage and IP, and regulatory issues. It will often not be clear that a breach has even taken place, making it all the more important to protect communications proactively.

Uncertified communications

Unlike consumer-grade alternatives, as Adam Such, the President and COO of Communication Security Group mentions, “Cellcrypt provides the strongest, most resilient, multi-layered encryption that meets and exceeds the CNSA cryptographic standard as defined by the NSA.” CNSA Cryptography is required for all US Government Classified communications up to and including Top Secret.

SMS, email, fixed/mobile telephony and consumer messaging apps can be easily hacked, spoofed and otherwise intercepted, making them inappropriate for sharing sensitive information. While many consumer messaging apps claim to be encrypted, not all encryption is equal. Leading industry analysts state that a voice or text conversation held over a consumer messaging app should be considered as a conversation between two individuals in a public space. In addition to this, many of those apps have privacy policies that allow them to gather and share an extraordinary amount of user data and meta-data with partners of their choice.

Enterprise-grade features

Platforms without IT integration, and often sourced by employees themselves, create a shadow IT outside management purview and oversight. These unsanctioned tools can lead to issues with continuity, but could well be creating significant compliance problems and unforeseen exposure.

“Cellcrypt can be owned and operated entirely by the customer, with their own private stack in the cloud or on location, giving them full control of all aspects of their data,” informs Such.
