When Employees Leave: Secure Offboarding with Threema Work

Staff changes are part of every organization. In most cases, there are structured processes in place to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

Air Gap: Communication in an Isolated System

If you’ve seen “Mission: Impossible,” you probably remember the iconic vault scene in which Tom Cruise is hanging upside down from the ceiling trying to access secret data. The stunt is nerve-wracking, but he had no other way to access the data: the computer could not simply have been hacked because it was not connected to a network – it was “air-gapped.”

Say No to Mass Surveillance

There are always new attempts by governments to systematically monitor Internet users for no reason. However, mass surveillance is not only unsuitable for fighting crime, it is also completely incompatible with democratic principles and poses a considerable threat to data security.
