The Problem

Mobile communications are a tricky field regarding security, to begin with. The way the regular cellular infrastructure operates leaves a number of attack surfaces and vectors and gives elevated access to multiple third parties. There are several general concerns about the security of mobile communications:

• Network operators have elevated access to mobile communications’ content and metadata.
• IMSI-catchers – the surveillance technology used by law enforcement for wiretapping purposes – is now widely available to other parties, including criminal organizations.
• Vulnerabilities in the SS7 protocol used by all networks offer almost unlimited options for location tracking of devices and, by extension, individuals.
• Communication apps and services rely on third-party infrastructure, with little or no guarantees that messages aren’t stored and read.
• Mobile devices are inherently vulnerable to hacking and malware infections.

The Solution

Secure Group’s products are designed to offer a combination of security, control, and versatility. Our software uses strong encryption to secure communications. Our devices have a zero-attack-surface. They are all micro-manageable and customizable through SAS. We have also developed a way to make the service deployable on different infrastructures, as well as to make the apps compatible with equivalent services by third-party providers. Our solutions enable organizations to:

• Run a secure communications center by self-hosting our solutions and operating a network of secure communication devices. Ensure higher system integrity and data security and establish visibility into various user groups.
• Rely on the phones for secure communications – all ingoing and outgoing communications, plus the storage, use strong end-to-end encryption.
• Request a custom solution. For example, we can design and develop rugged hardware models, ensuring that they will withstand extreme field conditions. Secure Group’s hardware models are in-house built, security-hardened, and tested by rigorous quality assurance procedures to guarantee zero-day-integrity.
