INDUSTRY ISSUES Unprotected e-mail is often referred to as the equivalent of a postcard - anyone can read it. It is, by definition, "public" and accessible to the world. However, the vast majority of designated industry professionals routinely use unprotected e-mail to communicate with or about clients on a daily basis. Despite the availability of encrypted software product alternatives, professionals continue to transmit unsecured, private information over the Internet - offering no reasonable protection against unauthorized disclosure and fraudulent message alteration. The potential personal and professional liability issues raised by continuing this common practice cannot be ignored by industry professionals indefinitely. Until recently, secure Internet communication has been cost prohibitive, internally disruptive and difficult for most organizations to fully implement. Today, these "excuses" no longer apply. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon all professionals to do more - than merely acknowledge the problem with warnings that routinely accompany unprotected e-mail transmissions. This complacent response to a most critical issue is a compelling reason to take steps that ensure confidentiality between professional and client is extended to electronic communications.
