Secure conversations

August 2009 IT infrastructure

Secusmart, a spin-off company from Nokia, has introduced a new device to ensure all your mobile phone conversations are protected from phone-tapping, while also preventing unintentional eavesdropping resulting from crossed lines.

The Secuvoice micro-SD card doubles as an external memory card for your phone, but contains encryption capabilities that scramble the voice of both parties engaged in the conversation and prevent third parties from listening in.

The Secuvoice micro SD card fits into any Nokia E and N series phone, but will soon be rolled out to other Symbian-based phones, and is available on Vodacom and MTN networks.

The rising corporate espionage has brought home the reality of mobile phone surveillance to the average South African. There is now a simple, secure way to prevent your confidential cellphone conversations from leaking to the press, competitors or any other intelligence agencies out to get the scoop.
