Featured in InformationWeek: “This is another example where it is clear that the Chinese have been able to burrow into our critical infrastructure,” says John Ackerly, CEO and cofounder of data security company Virtru. “Backdoors are not just able to be used by good guys. Those same doors are open to bad guys as well."

“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. In particular, it highlights the inadequacy of Transport Layer Security (TLS) when used over public carrier networks—a method relied upon by some of our competitors like Paubox and Zix. We dive head first into that conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eZMtJvmC Matthew Howard | Mike Morper | Trevor Foskett | Nicholas Michael | Megan Leader
