Secure Messaging Solution
Business Value
Entrust is uniquely positioned to help organizations enable e-mail compliance and turn popular e-mail software programs like Microsoft® Outlook® and Lotus Notes® into more secure and reliable communications vehicles - without changing the way users work.
From the automatic scanning and categorization of e-mail messages (i.e. newsletter, intellectual property, junk) to the centralized application of policy, the Entrust Secure Messaging Solution helps make it easy for organizations to maintain an efficient e-mail system while still meeting business requirements for corporate and regulatory compliance.
With its transparent security measures, the Entrust Secure Messaging Solution makes e-mail as reliable as the phone, couriers, or face-to-face meetings - allowing organizations to make timely, cost-effective communications an integral part of their improved business processes.
Using the Entrust Secure Messaging Solution, organizations can:
Reduce the risk of a compliance violation or loss of public trust
- real-time enforcement of policy reduces risk and does not require users to apply policy
- automatic identification and encryption of e-mail messages at the boundary helps make it easier to comply with policy governing private or sensitive information
- by encrypting e-mail messages, organizations can be one step closer to complying with new security standards and global legislations - such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and California SB 1386 - that mandate the privacy of client/patient/consumer records
- flexible S/MIME or Web-based delivery methods can help accommodate the different e-mail needs of partners and customers
