Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff announced yesterday (13) her request to deploy a secure electronic communications system aimed at strengthening privacy and avoiding spying of communications across federal government bodies.
"I have mandated the deployment of a secure email system throughout the federal government," the president tweeted. She added that this is "the first step to expand privacy and inviolability of official messages."
The Brazilian data processing body Serpro is responsible for decommissioning the current platform Microsoft Outlook and leading the development of the new platform, which has been procured following the news that communications between Rousseff and her key aides have been monitored by the US National Secutity Agency (NSA).

What is bespoke ?
Bespoke (pronounced bee-SPOHK) is a term used in the United Kingdom and elsewhere for an individually- or custom-made product or service. Traditionally applied to custom-tailored clothing, the term has been extended to information technology, especially for software consulting services. Typically, software consulting companies offer packaged (already invented and generally applicable) software and bespoke software for client needs that can't be satisfied by packaged software. In the U.S., bespoke software is often called custom or custom-designed software.
