Importance of secure communication in daily routine

For every area of life, an effective communication is indispensable. In
companies and public authorities the communication is an interface between
all colleagues and the basis for an efficient functioning. These institutions
usually face the challenge to provide a large number of employees on and
off site with relevant information. However, the risk of not reaching every
employee and distribute important announcements company-wide is present,
since different communication channels are employed.

Messaging in daily routine

Social networks are no longer used solely for private purposes, they found
their way into corporations and public authorities since their fast means of
communication are also valued in working life. However, popular services such as
WhatsApp are often prohibited in corporate use with respect to the current data
security policy and violations could even lead to prosecution. Thus far corporations
are lacking a safe environment in which information and data can be exchanged in
a non-disclosing manner.

Encrypted Server
The allocation of stashcat® occurs centrally
on encrypted, redundant servers, which
are organized in a high security data
processing centre in Hanover. The German
centre is operated by net.de AG. Constant
automatic online-backups prohibit data loss
in consequence of hardware failure, virus
attacks or acts of nature beyond control.
The net.de AG employs enormous efforts
to ensure the safety of their computing
centres. The explanation about technical
and organizational actions are available to
all customers.
Security
Encrypted Communication
In the third step, the encryption occurs on
the terminal device of the user, where the
data will be encrypted by a combination
of an AES- and RSA-algorithm. So neither
unauthorised persons, nor the stashcat®
team are able to decrypt or review your
data. All relevant data will be transferred
encrypted on the way to the server and
also will be stored there encrypted. The
encryption encompasses all kinds of data,
such as text messages, comments and
further text fields.
