Was Toads-Internet Security

[Leroy Eckert]

What I find very interesting after completing 85 hours of CPE this week is this.
There are numerous rules and regulations about confidential client
relationships, independence, objectivity, and integrity, etc, and not one
reference in any document or course regarding cell phone use and discussions
conducted thereon. In this day and age, everyone has one. Just yesterday I had a
conversation with my Attorney on the cell phone. Anyone with a scanner can
listen to a cell phone conversation. Go figure.
Nothing like being behind the power curve.

As far as security goes, satellite is one of the most secure that exists,
during the satellite transmission portion. Of course it comes back to ground and
goes out on the public internet where it is the same security as any wired
connection, ranging from insecure to very secure, depending on protocol. Next
generation satellite (bird launched August 14th) will allow companies to have
office-to-office direct satellite without a ground component, and companies are
reportedly lined up for that one purely for security reasons. Not likely to be
much used that way for mobile users.

That does not mean that security of WiFi is a big issue for people working
with sensitive material, even though WiFi itself is the least secure carrier.
Put SSL encryption on at the client computer and it remains essentially
unbreakable no matter what the carrier is, all the way to the receiving https
server. Corporate users are often required to use VPN tunnelling, which provides
equal protection, even when using a WiFi in a coffee shop.
