Diamond Key Security Aims to Make the Internet Safe for Everyone
Diamond Key Security: Helping to reinvent Internet Security CHICAGO, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- This has been a busy few weeks for the social media giant Facebook. In two separate articles Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and COO, Sheryl Sandberg, expressly offered solutions and a plan to combat Facebook's safety concerns. Since its inception, Facebook has been "first" in just about everything dealing with the Internet and social media. It has garnered some of the largest social media audiences and users. In fact, Facebook has transformed the way we communicate; but with availability comes responsibility—without better more trusted security, FB will continue to be vulnerable to hacking and cyber theft. Diamond Key Security (DKS), a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded because every second of every day, sensitive information—from credit card numbers and health care information to classified military intelligence—is transmitted online. Data breaches are becoming increasingly widespread, every Internet-enabled device and network is at risk, and the average person is defenseless against these tremendous online threats. At DKS we believe that when one person's data is at risk; all our data is at risk.
