What is Secure Communication?
Secure communication means that information is transmitted in a protected way to prevent unauthorized access, manipulation, or interception. This applies to both digital and physical communication—from encrypted networks to secure calls and messaging services.
Why is Secure Communication relevant?
As cyberthreats and digital vulnerabilities increase, it becomes critical to protect sensitive information and ensure that only authorized users have access. Secure communication is about building trust, preventing data leaks, and safeguarding an organization’s most critical flows of information.
Examples of Secure Communication:
- Encrypted data transfer: Protects information in transit across networks.
- VPN (Virtual Private Network): Creates a secure connection to internal systems from remote locations.
- End-to-end encryption: Prevents interception in messaging services.
- Private mobile networks (LTE/5G): For sensitive and isolated communication needs.
- Secure radio systems: Used in emergency services, industry, and crisis preparedness.
