Safer handling to prevent cybertheft

 

Message delivered 1941. www.classicpicture.se Kristoffersson

Open for cybertheft. There is almost no way to achieve complete safety when handling documents digitally within organisations or between people. Confidential information is today often being sent in e-mails or shared in cloud storage areas. We rely on the privacy that a simple password protects, often a simple one like the name of the first love, dog or car. Even large companies and even governments don't have enough skills to prevent cyber thieves from having a sneak peak into secret documents sent through local or world wide networks. Loss of vital information to cyber thiefs can result in a major system breakdown, or a hostage like situation, where criminal hackers demand money to enable online services again. Bank accounts can be accessed when loosing account informations and the cost is not only money. The confidence of the company and the loss ofvalue of the brand and it's services will also have to be considered as highly negative for both individuals and share holders.

Learn from history.  The military has a long history of being very careful when distributing news, orders and information in it's organisation. A printed document handed on to the next, with no information lost or read by professional cyber criminals. There is theoretically only a small handful of people involved, and even they don't know the content of the transported material.

Future of document handling. I will not be surprised if confidential material will be transported to the receiver by messengers and couriers. Especially agent like trained to safely handle and transport documents or files. This new occupation has lot of potential and even though the cost maybe would be considered high, it's not even near the extra expenses when having to rebuild a major website or the loss of company information.

About the picture. The year is 1941 and the Swedish military is mobilised to meet the possible German invasion. The transport of documents is illustrated here with a seemingly simple picture where a bicycle courier is handing a document on to a soldier on horseback. The safety is high and even back then the thought of using radio or telephone to transfer important messages is out of the question.  Photo by Kristoffersson.
