Email Security

Email Security

Email security includes a combination of email encryption, digital signatures, content analysis and policy compliance capabilities that are automatic and invisible to everyday users.

Entrust delivers a variety of solutions to enable a full range of email security that can be easily and quickly deployed, or seamlessly integrated into a more comprehensive information security deployment.

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

  • Email encryption can be applied before email leaves your organization
  • Email security processing is done at the server, saving time for users and reducing email and inbox sizes
  • Email security policies can be centrally managed and automatically applied
  • Users do not need to be aware of email encryption methods to enable email security
  • Email security deployments work well with hand-held devices like RIM BlackBerry

Content can be automatically encrypted based on the list of recipients (i.e. auditors, board of directors, lawyers), the nature of the content (i.e. intellectual property, credit cards, personally identifiable information) or in unique circumstances as dictated by your security policy.

For example:

  • Email from your Executives to your Board of Directors can be encrypted
  • Email from employees to customers can be monitored
  • Email containing credit card numbers can be encrypted
  • Email containing intellectual property (based on advanced contextual and content analysis) can be restricted from being emailed to any party outside your organization

This secure email system is an integrated suite of components that can be customized to meet your specific email policy compliance requirements. Or, the secure email servers can be easily deployed out-of-box with minimum configuration to meet and exceed native email security and traditional email compliance tools.

Integrating Email Encryption with Content Analysis and Content Security
As a part of Entrust's comprehensive security solutions, the Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server is fully integrated with the Entrust Entelligence Content Control Server to uniquely enable automatic encryption of sensitive information that is detected by the Content Control suite of products.

In a recent survey by Osterman Research, 96% of companies surveyed experienced a sensitive information leak. Of which, 83% of reported losses were considered accidental. With the Entrust Entelligence Content Control Server, email content can be monitored with greater accuracy to detect intellectual property, personally identifiable information of customers and employees, credit cards and other financial information. When this type of content is detected, the system can be configured to work with the Messaging Server to take immediate action (remediation) such as automatically encrypt the email, or denying delivery. The Content Control Server can also be configured to provide educational training on the appropriate use of email and other communications by sending automated responses to individual email senders with or without allowing the original message to be communicated.

Deploying Comprehensive End-to-End Email Security
For organizations that are familiar with PKI and have already deployed digital certificates for use in desktop security or web applications, Entrust offers comprehensive end-to-end email security solutions that can be integrated with existing or new digital certificate deployments. Using Entrust Entelligence Security Provider and/or the Entrust Entelligence Email Plug-in, PKI deployments can be expanded to include Microsoft, Lotus and Macintosh email security capabilities.
