3. Check our PGP signature on mail messages and documents
Documents developed by The CSO Board are signed with our PGP key. We encourage you to check the signature to ensure that the document was indeed written by our staff and has not been changed.
Some mail programs cause changes to messages, resulting in an indication that the PGP signature is not good. Critical information will also be posted to our web site along with a PGP signature, providing you with a confirmation of authenticity.
4. Encrypting sensitive information
When sending sensitive or confidential information by email, please encrypt it. |
