Which Companies Encrypt Your Data Communications

By October 12, 2015November 23rd, 2016Cybersecurity Policy, Network Security

As a cyber risk leader, with all the NSA snooping going on, you need to know which service providers are protecting your data as it scoots around the Internet.

Good news! The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published a useful infographic to help you figure out where you stand. Note:

  • Double-check missing and planned items with your service providers.
  • Currently, only 8 of the providers offer all five encryption strategies recommended by the EFF.
  • Companies that have firm plans with dates have been awarded a green box.
  • There are quite a few notes at the bottom that you should look at.
  • AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon have implemented none of the strategies. Is there some industry reason?

Here are short definitions and links for each strategy:

The EFF published their infographic as part of an article. They’ve updated it many times already.

Did anything you see in the infographic make you want to switch providers? Which ones?
