Email Encryption

As businesses transact more communication via email than any other medium securing email traffic especially where it may contain sensitive data or for contractual purposes is increasingly more important.

Early email encryption technologies were cumbersome to manage and therefore offered little scope for roll out across larger organisations. As technology has evolved so the transparent nature and ease of use of signing and encrypting mail has increased. Mail typically can be encrypted in two ways - a gateway to gateway approach or from the client to the client.

Clearly encrypting sensitive data that is held within the email client (such as Outlook for example) is a more complete solution as it prevents anyone on the network from 'sniffing' out the data in transit. ecommnet’s solutions offer the best of both worlds, securing the client and also looking at the gateway and the way that data may be sent using webmail clients.

Our solutions come from three vendors, Borderware, Utimaco and Webroot all having unique properties which make them applicable across a broad range of deployments. Deciding which is the best for your organisation is based on a number of factors, let ecommnet help you assess your data leakage protection needs in order to reduce the risk of loss of theft of data from your organisation.
