Seclore Email Encryption Solution
Protect sensitive data in emails throughout their lifecycle with granular, persistent usage data security controls – without any user intervention.
Email Encryption for the Modern Enterprise
Finding a secure email encryption solution is vital for modern enterprises in today’s data-driven world. Email remains the most common tool for business collaboration and collaboration, as well as the most significant pathway for cyberattacks. Over 90% of cyberattacks start with a phishing email, with 35% of successful attacks starting through that same channel.
Because of this, secure email encryption is a business imperative. This is especially true as the population of remote workers grows and there are more geographically distributed teams. Protecting sensitive data in transit, including messages and attachments, means that business can be conducted safely and securely.
FAQ About Email Encryption
Secure email encryption is the authentication process through which plaintext emails are scrambled with the goal of only making them readable for the intended recipient. Email encryption platforms typically operate via a software gateway or a policy-based decision engine. They might have additional features, but typically encrypting email starts with public key cryptography and digital signatures. On the other end of the conversation, a key exchange needs to occur so the intended recipient can easily decrypt and read the secure email.
Email encryption platforms typically don’t encrypt every email. The storage requirements of doing so are often enormous, and many emails don’t include sensitive data. Organizations determine specific policies, such as automatically encrypting emails that include personally identifiable information or allowing for manual encryption on a per email basis to protect ad hoc sensitive data. They may also choose specific email addresses to have additional features or stronger security. Someone on the executive team might, for example, have more of their emails encrypted than a lower-level employee. Similarly, someone who works closely with external partners might have more of a need to send secure emails.
- Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) –PGP blends cryptography, data compression, symmetric and asymmetric keys, and other hashing techniques. When an encrypted email is sent using the proper public key, PGP encrypts the message and attachments and decrypts it only after the intended recipient uses their private key.
- Secure Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME) – S/MIME is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard used to deliver public-key encryption and digital signatures. S/MIME provides similar functionality to PGP, but it has the additional feature of requiring users to obtain decryption keys directly from a specific Certificate Authority (CA).
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) – TLS succeeded the secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption method for emails. Also an IETF standard, TLS was introduced in 1999 and built on top of the original SSL specifications. TLS is commonly used for encrypting email and other communications formats like instant messaging and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
