Messaging System Assurance

Messaging systems are used as a primary tool for data exchange between the armed forces, intelligence agencies, public sector bodies and the wider business community. Designed to make data and information exchange easy, messaging systems can also be a source of data loss and an entry point for viruses and malware.

To prevent this undesirable side effect, messaging systems have a wide array of measures in place to ensure they are not compromised. These may include technology such as network or application security controls and cryptography, as well as business processes and security policies. Collectively, these components create a complex landscape.
