Email Security

Email security includes a combination of email encryption, digital signatures, content monitoring and policy compliance capabilities that are automatic and invisible to everyday users. Entrust delivers a variety of solutions to enhance native email security that can be quickly deployed 'out-of-the-box' and seamlessly integrated into your existing messaging environment with minimum configuration requirements, or provided as an integrated suite of components that can be customized to meet your specific email policy requirements.

Protecting Information at Your Electronic Boundary
The Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server is an email security gateway that operates at the server level (such as Microsoft and Lotus Domino), to provide an easier and more efficient method for deploying email security to your users. This means that:

  • Email encryption can be applied before messages leave your organization
  • Email security processing is done at the server, saving time for users and reducing inbox sizes
  • Email security policies can be centrally managed and automatically applied
  • Your email security is not dependent upon users being aware of email encryption techniques
  • Encrypted email can be sent and received on hand-held devices such as RIM BlackBerry and HTML-enabled cell phones
  • Content can be automatically encrypted based on the list of recipients, the nature of the content or in unique circumstances, as dictated by your security policy

Integrating Email Encryption with Content Monitoring and Control
In a recent survey by Osterman Research 6% of companies surveyed experienced a sensitive information leak, of which 83% of reported losses were considered accidental. With the growing concern of corporate data breach and loss of sensitive information, organizations are increasing their adoption of outbound content control for legal compliance, protection against identity theft and safeguarding of intellectual property. Together, content control and automatic email encryption can provide an effective security solution for organizations to mitigate their risk of information breach and protect their corporate brand.

In partnership with Vericept, a leading content control solution provider, Entrust offers Vericept Protect, a multi-protocol content monitoring and control solution that provides visibility into how sensitive content is handled in an organization. Utilizing a suite of content detection techniques and over 70 risk categories, Protect works with Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server to identify which messages need to be encrypted before they leave the boundary of an organization. With Protect, email content can be monitored with greater accuracy to detect intellectual property, personally identifiable employee information or sensitive customer data. When this type of content is detected, the system can be configured to take immediate action such as automatically encrypt the email, or even block delivery.
