Episode 108: Are Your Messages Really Private?

As business conversations move from email to messaging tools, your inboxes may breathe a sigh of relief, but your security team gets another set of worries.

Is the product you’ve chosen is it as secure as it should be? Are conversations happening out of sight that you need to track for compliance reasons? Is information being shared with people outside your organization without you knowing?

In this episode of the Georgian Impact Podcast, Jon Prial talks with Navroop Mitter, CEO of ArmorText. ArmorText produces an end-to-end encrypted collaboration platform for critical infrastructure protection and regulated industries.

You’ll hear about:
