Interception technology is cheap and widely accessible – the required equipment can be purchased for less than $10.000 over the Internet – and many parties possess the tools needed to attack the confidentiality of mobile voice and data communication. While many IT executives think mobile phones represent a weak point in corporate IT security, only a small number of businesses protect their mobile communication. This does not change the fact however that in the modern business environment people regularly discuss sensitive and confidential information on cell phones. This poses threat to business secrecy, executive safety, or financial transaction confidentiality. Secfone protects the confidentiality of your phone calls against a number of different forms of attacks.
Physical attacks are attempts made at accessing a facility, resource, or information stored on physical media. In case of mobile security, physical attacks mean gaining access to the encryption keys stored on the device. Secfone stores the encryption keys on a highly secure smartcard, illegible for external attackers.
