Why do I need to encrypt my email messages? |
||||
Simple Message Transfer Protocol (SMTP) by itself does not mandate any protection of message contents from prying eyes, i.e. unauthorized disclosure. SMTP is designed as a store-and-forward protocol and message transfer is not guaranteed and not real-time. Unauthorized third-party can easily obtain the sensitive and confidential information inside emails by examining any entry point throughput the entire message delivery path. To enforce data privacy in email messages, one might opt for industry standard S/MIME encryption for email protection. However, successful deployment of encrypted messaging requires much workload on key management and user training. Once these technical aspects are overcome, corporations always face the challenge of user failure to comply to the corporate messaging guidelines. End-users often find encrypting their email messages an inefficient and technically difficult task. Bloombase Message is a transparent email encryption network appliance that is designed to enforce message security on the server side without user's intervention and guarantees successful message protection deployment. |
