We now know, thanks to Edward Snowden, that the NSA and other governments intercept and store all communications that they can. This includes email, web browsing, phone records, and more esoteric communications like IRC.
This information is collected by and shared among various US allies, including Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. By some reports, it is also shared with many other countries, including Denmark, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, and Switzerland.
This can put your business at risk, as private corporate data is intercepted and analyzed by many foreign governments. This obviously includes external communication over the public Internet, but could potentially include internal communications, also, as the NSA has actively targeted many organizations in hacking operations.
Is your private business information something you would want to share with 12 different governments?
CB Services can set you up with interception-resistant email, encrypted by default for all internal communication, and encrypted to any outside organization who uses a similar encryption system.
Proprietary encryption systems, which cannot be reviewed by the public at large, are potential backdoors for organizations like the NSA. Time and time again, proprietary encryption has been revealed to have significant flaws, due to the lack of input from many industry experts.
For this reason, CB Services uses no proprietary algorithms for encryption. Only publicly reviewed encryption schemes are used to protect your information.
