Communication security
Nowadays, everything
is available at the palm of our hand. Nevertheless, these amazing capabilities,
combined with our instinctive fear of the “Big Sister Syndrome” (The “big
brother’s” nosy sister) actually creates a hotbed for the “bad guys”: hackers,
thieves, vandals, terrorists and anyone with bad intentions.
According
to various studies in this field, there are over two Billion smartphones in the
world today. In 2015, 83% of all internet traffic worldwide is expected to run
to and from mobile devices. All our private and secret information resides in
our smartphone or somewhere in the cloud: e-mails, text messages, friends and
contact persons, files, pictures, bank accounts, savings, files, and so on and
so forth. This information is safeguarded and protected by sophisticated
encryption mechanisms and processes designed to make sure no-one gets access to
our data. For the most part, the key to this information is our username and
password. There are additional, other, sophisticated cybersecurity methods.
