Is your mobile data secure because it’s encrypted? Unfortunately, security is more than
just encryption. Find out why your data might be at risk and how you can solve it.
There is a common misconception in technology regarding security, encryption and
privatization. Often these are used as synonyms yet they are anything but.
Many believe that encryption automatically means private -- unfortunately, that just
isn’t the case. While mobile application giants, such as WhatsApp, say they’re fully
encrypted, they technically aren’t keeping your data secure. Shocking to some,
WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. This means Facebook actually owns your mobile data,
giving them rights to do whatever they want with it, as well as making them a target for
hackers. This is why it’s beneficial to make sure your mobile communications are both
encrypted and privatized.
Encryption and privatization are equally important, as you want your sensitive business
data and customer data to remain private on your own servers. This is especially true in
the finance industry, where a breach of your data could destroy your organization’s
reputation and harm your clients.
Security is More than Just Encryption
The problem with encryption is that it doesn’t necessarily mean your data is fully secured. In layman’s terms, if a mobile chat app is encrypted, your data could still technically reside elsewhere (e.g. Facebook’s servers). This exposes you to the threats of data breaches that could be costly and harmful to your organization. It also opens the doors to a whole other set of concerns, such as the loss of customers, future customers, non-compliance penalties, brand integrity and more.
