Do I need secure email ?
The use of e-mail has grown at a phenomenal rate – almost a quarter of the world’s 7 billion inhabitants have access to the Internet. This figure is rising steeply – and usage in Europe is higher at 50%, with the UK being around 70%
A very large proportion of people with Internet access use email in their every day work and social lives - and all take email’s inherent ease of use as a given. Few, however, think about the consequences of a stray email or its content being accidentally or deliberately intercepted and read by others.
Email service have become a mission-critical communication tool - and yet it also has the potential to seriously compromise an organisation’s activities. The transmission of personal information over email is just one of many examples of sensitive information and content that we would not want to share with others. Information on new products, services or other commercial details are further examples of content that we may only want to be seen by a priviledged few.
How do I know my e-mail has got to the right person?
We believe that just encrypting content is not enough – you really need to be confident that the right person (or people) have received and read your e-mail. You also need to be confident that the person receiving your email is indeed the only recipient that you intended to see it. It is therefore essential to authenticate the Identify of the target recipient as well. After all, sending sensitive and secure content to the wrong person could well be as dangerous or litigious if that same information was intercepted and published by a ‘hacker’.
You need to be confident that you are not ‘inadvertently’ compromising your business, nor breaking any laws regarding data protection or personal privacy.
How do I secure e-mail?
Mailock’s ‘virtual padlock’ encrypts an email’s text and other content, including attachments, rendering it unreadable to anyone other than the intended recipient.
The recipient’s identity requires confirmation before the message or attachments can be opened.
