Secure Network Communications |
|
How do I make certain that my access network communications is secure?
Data transfer is considered secure if either the transfer method is secure such as documents carried in a diplomatic pouch or if the data is unintelligible during the transfer, more commonly known as data encryption.
One must accept that any data that travels over a public network is not secure. In fact, even data on private corporate networks shielded from the outside by firewalls is generally accessible at many of the network drops within the facility.
