Useless Locks & Passwords…

Useless Locks & Passwords…

By Nick Ashton, CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies

I don't know if you remember when you didn't have to lock your house doors, even in the city.  Or the day that Denny’s had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for locks on their restaurants, as they were to close on a public holiday and not one facility had a lock on the front door.  They had always been open, 24/7/365 days a year.

Now, in 2014, we have locks on everything, electronic locks, passwords that protect us from the nasty people who want what we have without working or paying for it.  The sad thing is, they do not protect us and many use the silliest passwords or none at all.

The corporate world is run on a network of computers travelling the Information Highway at the speed of whatever and has exits and entrances for our employees to deposit or receive information of a sensitive nature.  

Sadly, the devices that are used to enter this very important circle of information is extremely vulnerable and insecure in most cases.

If, like the majority, you are allowing your employees to answer work emails at home, use their Smartphone to communicate during the work week from on the road or you allow personal emails on their computer at the office, you are dicing with commercial death or the worse form of the electronic bubonic plague. 

Your IT Department, which you believe has it all under control are many steps behind in understanding the hacking, phishing and man in the middle issues that are costing commerce and industry billions of dollars and time per year.  There are not enough hours or dollars in your budget to fight this disgusting low level computer hacker for you to spend.  Why try to fight the war on your own?

You as a CEO, President or Owner have a duty to protect what is rightfully yours or your investors.  It is your Duty of Care to have every single access or communication opening, protected and secure.  After all, the company information is vital to the ongoing success and must be kept out of the hands of thieves and those that ply their ill-gotten skills for dubious gain.

KEYTALK is your partner in protecting all of your data, allowing your employees to continue the practice of using their own devices and visit their private sites and email from the desk or laptop computers. 

Yes, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is permitted under our protection software of short term certification procedures.

The discussion of our total solution is not for open forum of a letter or a Blog, it is for discussion in private.  Let us have a conversation and then communicate electronically via Skype or a personal Webin or one of the other communication methods and show you our skill set that has been protecting corporations and governments worldwide since 2004.

Is your company’s security worth thirty minutes at most of your time?

Call us, +1 (317) 426.0110 or send an email and we shall contact you. (keytalk@tracometry.com)

As a fellow CEO/Founder, I have total empathy and we can discuss your future security and look at how we can be of assistance.
