Email Encryption
Email has become a vital business tool, so much so that analysts estimate as much as 80 percent of a company’s intellectual property is contained in its email. But since email is transmitted as clear text over the Internet it is susceptible to compromise by network “sniffers” that monitor traffic for confidential, and ultimately profitable, information. A natural desire to protect this increasing amount of sensitive email-based information is fueling growth in email encryption, as is the need to meet legal requirements to comply with government privacy regulations, particularly in healthcare, financial and government services. To maximize protection, the encryption solution should minimize barriers to use.
