Email Security
Email has revolutionized the way companies communicate with business
partners and customers, decreasing communication costs while increasing
efficiency and enhancing customer service. To take advantage of this
medium
your company must use the Internet and email for delivering and
receiving
bills, financial statements and contracts. However, at the same time
you
must protect the confidentiality and integrity of your communications
so
that customer data and proprietary business information isn't accessed
by
unauthorized parties. This delicate balance is further complicated by
the
fact that traditional security measures do not adequately address
electronic
communication needs.
Firewalls can secure information inside your network, but they do not
ensure the integrity and confidentially of electronic communication
once
they have left your network. Security methods like PGP encryption and
digital certificates require the sender and recipient to install and use
complicated software making these systems costly and time-consuming.
Email security goes beyond just blocking blocking incoming viruses, malicious code, and spam. Secured email systems can also prevent unauthorized data from leaving the network and ensure that the sensitive
business information that does leave the network is properly encrypted.
By using a policy-based content management system, you can secure all forms of incoming and outgoing messages without changing
the way end-users send and receive mail.
