Essential Components of a Secure Communications Strategy

Shielding against inadvertent sharing of sensitive information in personal conversations may be
challenging due to the use of free consumer messaging apps which the user has zero control over.
However, protecting official company communications against unauthorised access is achievable
through various protective measures. Here are the essential components of a robust secure
communications strategy:

1. Support for All Types of Communications:

- Safeguarding messaging, voice calls, conference calls, secure file sharing and message broadcasting
that can be integrated with internal systems to allow sensitive information to be securely pushed to
selected personnel.

2. Secure File Sharing:
- Salt facilitates the secure transfer of confidential documents and sensitive images, ensuring end-to-
end encryption for multiple attachments.

3. End-to-End Encryption:
- Utilising end-to-end encryption for various forms of communication to protect data at rest and in transit,
while having an agnostic approach allows for the assurance that the latest technologies are always
deployed.
