Voltage says UN allegations against the NSA highlight the need for securing company communications

Reacting to reports that the NSA hacked the internal communications of the United Nations, Voltage Security says that - whilst they will not come as a surprise to many - the take-out is that all organisations need to better defend their internal communications and allied data:

“I suspect that there will be further security revelations appearing in the media over the course of the next few months as further investigations into the documents from NSA leaker Edward Snowden come to light. But the message - already - is quite clear: encrypt your information and communications if you want to defend their integrity”

-- Dave Anderson, Voltage Security
