What are Secure Methods of Transmission? • Encrypted Email Services • Encrypted Memory Sticks • Fax • Secure Web Portals • Signature Required Delivery Services
Encrypted Email • Provided by an external service or device • Sends the receiver a web link to retrieve the message • Requires the receiver to log in to a web portal to see the email • Protects the message by not transmitting the data over unencrypted channels
Encrypted Memory Sticks • Requires the user to encrypt the device • Windows 7 and 8 • Third Party Tools • Requires a password to access information • The longer and more complex the password the better • Passwords should never be transmitted with the device
Fax • Often considered outdated • In fact one of the more secure methods to transmit data • But refrain from sending to publicly available fax devices
Secure Web Portals • Web sites designed for end to end security • Web address starts with https:\\ • Identified by a Padlock icon next to the web address • Verified by a third party source as legitimate
Signature Required Delivery Services • FedEx, UPS, Bonded Services • Require a receiver to sign for the package • Offers online tracking
