Editor's Notes
Mossack Fonseca
It’s now in the public consciousness that security matters. Sony, Target, WalMart: hacks are front page news and frequent. If your brand promise is trust, you must maintain it: break the promise and the consequences to your business are dire: 20 million anonymous clients, promises Ashley Madison, and Ashley Madison is toast.
This is a hot area, but winning will depend not only on satisfying the security requirements of customers, but on usability: No matter how secure something is, it doesn’t ensure confidentiality unless people use it: usability is the TitanFile differentiator.

Half of the attorneys survey used consumer grade file sharing solutions at work
Using unencrypted email is still the most common file sharing tool
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Are your emails encrypted?
Your client has to have encryption enabled too
Unencrypted messages are in plain text for the world to access
TitanFile encryption uses a combination of the AES encryption algorithm and the SHA-512 hashing algorithm.
