Mailock has grown out of a specialist IT development company, which is a major player
in the financial services quotation and electronic new business arena.
While many aspects of online trading have moved into true “online business”, many
of the “back end” processes still remain almost totally paper-based. One key reason
for this is that many items which could be transmitted by email are not sent this
way today because of the inherent lack of security with existing email systems,
which raises justifiable concerns over the protection of personal data. Most of
the existing e-mail systems transmit their content and any attachments "in
the clear", meaning that they may be potentially intercepted and viewed by
others.
Mailock, with its encryption technology and personal ID authentication infrastructure,
addresses these and other issues with the introduction of a new and unique layer
of services, which works in conjunction with existing corporate communication systems,
making integration easier, and changes to work patterns minimal. Mailock technology
delivers economic solutions to the challenges of secure email communications.
