link22 Delivers Eavesdropping Protection to Law Firm Glimstedt

link22 Delivers Eavesdropping Protection to Law Firm Glimstedt

In an era where digital security is paramount, the law firm Glimstedt takes the lead by implementing link22's eavesdropping protection, Shield. With a background of successful deliveries to authorities and the defense industry, this marks an important step for link22 into the legal sector.

From Defense to Law

For many years, link22 has delivered eavesdropping protection in the form of Shield to authorities and the defense industry. This week, the product was introduced to the legal sector, another area where confidential information is frequently discussed in meeting rooms. The law firm Glimstedt is now positioning itself as one of the industry's most eavesdropping-protected player.

In the digital age we live in, the protection of confidential information is more important than ever. Law firms, like Glimstedt, constantly face the challenge of ensuring that their client meetings remain private.

Eavesdropping Protection & Law

During the delivery, the reasons why the legal sector wants to prevent recording of meetings, whether intentionally or unintentionally, via mobile phones were discussed. This is partly about meetings with clients, where one wants to prevent an external party, who may have accessed the client's mobile through malicious software, from eavesdropping to gain an information advantage. But it's also about meetings with opposing parties. Gustav Sandberg, Managing Partner at Glimstedt Östergötland, puts it this way:

"When meeting with clients we sometimes want to avoid tapping if for example we’re discussing business secrets. When meeting with counterparts we sometimes want to avoid the risk of being recorded. It’s very easy to do today, a recording can be misused and we want to minimize such risks. Our clients expect and value our confidentiality."

Beyond the direct functional reasons for having eavesdropping protection in meeting rooms, there's also a signaling value. The goal is for both clients and opposing parties to take our meetings more seriously, while feeling more relaxed.

Simple & Advanced

During the delivery meeting, Daniel Lester, Business Area Manager, described how Shield works with sharp noise, rubber packing, separation material, tamper protection, security levels, and more. He also demonstrated how easy it is to use the product: You open the lid, participants put in their phones, and then you close the lid. The phones are in the room, for all parties to oversee, but not recording or eavesdropping.

In a world where information can easily spread and be misused, it's crucial for companies, especially law firms, to take measures to protect confidential information. link22's Shield offers an effective solution for this. The delivery to Glimstedt is a step towards ensuring integrity and security during meetings. With Shield, law firms can now feel safer, knowing that their confidential meetings remain just that - confidential.

      link22 launches eavesdropping protection for the Swedish market

      link22 launches eavesdropping protection for the Swedish market

      In a world where digital security is constantly challenged, link22 takes a step forward by launching with the Audio Diode in Sweden. The product is designed to protect from eavesdropping through speakers by ensuring unidirectional sound flows.

      Speakers can be used for eavesdropping

      At a time when the possibilities for attacks are increasing, link22 continues to launch solutions for enhanced security. We are proud to introduce Audio Diode to the Swedish market, a product designed to prevent eavesdropping through speakers.

      Hackers have become increasingly sophisticated, with techniques that can convert speakers into microphones, allowing them to eavesdrop on conversations. The attacker achieves this by recording the signals that appear when a speaker membrane vibrates due to speech in the room (this evokes a signal traveling “backwards” in the sound cable). The recorded signals are then converted back to speech in the attacker's computer and the eavesdropping operation is successful. With Audio Diode, the user can ensure that speakers only operate in one direction, preventing sound signals from traveling backward. This prevents eavesdropping.

      "We are proud to offer a solution like Audio Diode. It is a product that not only offers high security but also gives our customers peace of mind knowing that their talks are protected," says Daniel Lester, Business Area Manager at link22.

      Audio Diode to protect sensitive information

      Anyone who regularly works with sensitive information and participates in digital meetings can benefit from Audio Diode. Authorities, who often handle confidential information, can ensure that their digital calls remain private and protected from eavesdropping. Similarly, law firms, constantly handling client information and legal discussions, can integrate Audio Diode to enhance their information security.

      Audio Diode against a real security risk

      Eavesdropping through speakers is a real security risk for many businesses. Unprotected devices like headphones and speakers can be manipulated by attackers. Audio Diode prevents sound signals from traveling "backward" through the sound system, reducing the risk of eavesdropping through surrounding speakers.

      Low-pass filter

      Sound passing through Audio Diode goes through a low-pass filter, limiting the sound frequencies to those perceivable by the human ear. This prevents hackers from eavesdropping by sending high-frequency signals to an external hacking device.

      Unidirectional sound flows

      The Audio Diode allows sound signals to travel in only one direction. This means that sound signals cannot travel “backward”. The product thereby prevents hackers from manipulating a speaker/headphone to function as a microphone, capturing surrounding conversations.

      Simple protection against advanced threats

      Audio Diode is a simple way to protect against advanced intrusion attempts. It is easily installed between the speaker and the computer in rooms where information is exchanged verbally.

      For more information about Audio Diode and how it can be integrated into your workplace, contact us at sales@link22.se or book a demo here.

              As for music, Fredrik prefers hardstyle, but sometimes gets in the mood for rock and classical music.

              For students wishing to join link22, Fredrik's advice is to follow the path he took, through a Master's thesis. This is because it is an excellent way to get to know each other in-depth before entering a potential employment. He also encourages potential applicants to visit link22 at events like SEC-T to gain a better understanding of the company.

              We are thrilled to have Fredrik on board and look forward to fresh perspectives and new energy on the path to a more IT-secure society.

              If you wish to apply for a job or Master's thesis at link22, we would like you to submit your application here.

                  link22 – Glasswall collaboration to protect against Zero Day Threats

                  link22 - Glasswall collaboration to protect against Zero Day Threats

                  link22 is strengthening its collaboration with British Glasswall in a joint mission to enhance protection against Zero Day threats, previously unknown cyber attacks. By integrating Glasswall's Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology with link22's security solutions, they now offer reinforced defense against these threats.

                  Collaboration against Zero Day attacks

                  The Swedish cybersecurity company link22 has strengthened its collaboration with British Glasswall to provide advanced protection against zero day threats (previously unknown threats). The partnership allows customers to combine link22's security solutions with Glasswall's Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) function. link22 now delivers an enhanced defense against Zero Day attacks, a type of threat where traditional defensive mechanisms have been ineffective.

                  The simplest way to understand CDR is to compare it with traditional defense methods. Firewalls and filters work by identifying and blocking known threats, that is, viruses or software that have previously been classified as harmful. Threats generally become known after the first incident. Therefore, firewalls and filters do not protect against undiscovered threats, such as zero day attacks. CDR addresses this vulnerability by converting each file into a harmless file, regardless of whether the original file was harmful or not.

                  By dismantling, validating, cleaning, and then reconstructing files based on specifications for known and well-defined file types, CDR transforms passive security strategies into active ones. The implementation of this technology represents a significant improvement in the security of file transfers from, for example, open IT environments to isolated IT environments.

                  Integrates seamlessly with the link22 Cross Domain Solutions

                  The seamless integration of Glasswall's CDR technology into link22's Cross Domain Solution makes it easy for existing and new customers to implement a higher level of security. The technology can be used for both the import and export of information, within and between security domains. The partnership enhances the capabilities of link22's Cross Domain Solutions.

                  link22 has customers with specific and complex requirements. To meet these, the company uses both internal expertise and partnerships with niche players such as Glasswall. They do what is necessary to deliver uncompromising security.

                  CDR operates in four steps

                  1. Inspect: Three layers of the file are inspected to validate that its digital DNA matches the manufacturer's specification of a harmless file. Measures are taken immediately where deviations are detected.
                  2. Clean: Active content of a risky nature, such as macros and embedded links, is cleaned and removed based on the user's policy.
                  3. Reconstruct: The file is reconstructed according to the manufacturer's standard for a harmless file type, ensuring that the file is clean and free from threats.
                  4. Deliver: The user has imported a secure, identical file that is approved, standardized, and trusted.

                  The collaboration with Glasswall illustrates link22's commitment to staying at the forefront of delivering secure IT solutions. Are you interested in heightening your defense against Zero Day Threats? Please book a demo with us!

                    New Release Secure Access Client - version 1.7

                    Secure Access Client is an application that replaces the standard desktop interface on Windows.

                    The application is used in IT systems where the administrator wants to control which IT resources the user can access on their client. Two examples of IT resources are local applications on the user's computer and virtual desktops in a data center. Secure Access Client runs in kiosk mode, i.e. takes over the entire screen, and displays resources that the user has access to. Administrators can control at a detailed level which resources are to be displayed for each user.

                    New features 1.7

                    • A new system for hiding resources based on user location has been added. Each resource has a classification level, and the application will only display resources with a classification level no higher than the maximum allowed level in the location the user is connecting from. The users location is determined based on Active Directory sites and subnets.
                    • New registry entries “Locations” and “Security Classification Levels” have been added to support the above feature.
                    • Added colouring to Icons depending on their classification levels.
                    • Added zoom controls for the resource view and keyboard shortcuts using Ctrl+ and Ctrl-.
                    • The refresh button now refreshes resources, SCLs, locations and runs gpupdate to update group policies.
                    • Made the notification bar more prominent when messages are displayed.
                    • Added Shut Down button to the system menu in the bottom left.
                    • Added username and location information to About menu.
                    • Resource view buttons become greyed out when they cannot be used.
                    • Added support for newline (\n) characters in resource names and descriptions.
