that's a pretty bold claim.
- dijit 5y agoThe lawyer brain in me is asking me to define “the industry”. If “the industry” is one that currently uses POTS then it is the most secure, yes- because they sell enterprise software to various industries. The thing is: they use different protocols on their consumer apps than their enterprise ones; only the enterprise ones have an open (or, released) protocol specification.
- andrewstuart2 5y agoThe post is written by an AWS VP of technology. They probably plan to deploy this as an enterprise service, or use the tech, so you really have to hype during acquisition the aspects you intend to sell. The big sell for enterprises is actually what probably invalidates the statement you highlighted. Compliance, administrative controls, and audit almost always are significant threat surfaces that are exposed deliberately. Ideally to only the right people, but it's basically the equivalent of a cryptographic back door. It's less secure by design, but for a purpose.
