In an uncontrolled environment, rogue text messages can inflict significant damage on a business. By its very nature, text messages are easy to create and send. In fact, the name ‘text messages’ itself is now a misnomer. Its more technologically suave cousin, the Multimedia Message, can be used to send and receive files, video clips, and other forms of documents at the tap of a finger. The trail does not go cold there. The latest mobile data backup and storage tech makes it a breeze to download, copy, and distribute data transmitted using uncontrolled text or multimedia messages. Fifty years back, the dynamic duo of messaging apps and mobile imaging tools would have been the stuff of dreams for ‘Q’ and James Bond. Or any devious mind with the intent of sending business information where it should never go.
