Clarification on the recent media coverage about unauthorized clone apps creating security risks and undermining encryption

In light of recent  media coverage regarding a cybersecurity incident involving the TeleMessage messaging platform (which Smarsh is in the process of rebranding as Capture Mobile), and a potential concern around unauthorized clone apps creating security risks and undermining encryption — we would like to assure you there is no impact on the CellTrust SL2 Enterprise Capture platform.  We’d also like to take this opportunity to share a bit more about our technology approach and where we stand.
 

Engineered at enterprise level with security best practice

• CellTrust SL2 integrations with third-party apps are engineered with the API provided by the original third-party vendor and follow their specifications for best security practices
• CellTrust does not “wrap” or in any way “clone” third-party apps since this process may produce intellectual property and security concerns
• The SL2 app does not communicate directly with the archivers, and the communications between the app and SL2 server are encrypted with Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 or above with a comprehensive registration process in place to establish the initial handshake
• The connections between the SL2 Enterprise Capture server and customers’ archivers are not in plain text
• SL2 Enterprise Capture is enterprise level software. This means it is engineered to protect the enterprise from the risk of cyber attacks or data loss while enhancing productivity and efficiency for organizations of all sizes – some with mission critical operations
• SL2 is available with container options, including Microsoft Intune, Ivanti Neurons™, and BlackBerry® UEM, which provide advanced controls for organizations to monitor and manage communications and deployments, such as Single Sign On
