Email Encryption
Cloud-based encryption and certificate management for outgoing business email.
For cloud email environments that need S/MIME or PGP policies with exceptions by organisation, domain, group or user.
Encrypt and sign outgoing business email
Applying encryption to outgoing email often involves managing user certificates, encryption keys and policy exceptions alongside the standard rules. Different recipients, groups or domains may need different treatment.
Email Encryption automatically encrypts and digitally signs outgoing messages using S/MIME and PGP. It manages certificates and key storage, while allowing administrators to set policies and exceptions at organisation, domain, group and user level.
Where Email Encryption is used
Email Encryption is suited to cloud-based email environments where outgoing messages need S/MIME or PGP encryption and digital signing. It supports standard organisation-wide rules as well as exceptions for particular domains, groups or users, and provides Websafe for confidential communication.
