“I don’t think it’s the question of giving the government more access, but I think it’s a lot more clarity about what the standards are around the security and where there are back doors — those have to be really tight,” said John Ackerly who now heads Virtru, a firm that offers data security services. “The vast majority of these requests are trying to keep us safe.” Nicholas Michael | Shannon Vaughn | Jason Green | Carrick Longley | Matthew Howard https://lnkd.in/eiEwANMU

In light of the recent Chinese hack on major U.S. telecom carriers, it's time to have a frank discussion about the security of our digital comms. The hack is a wake-up call: When it comes to protecting sensitive data, not all encryption methods are created equal.
