Many companies have purchased email encryption software to protect private, sensitive and valuable information communicated by email. These individual tools are effective, but as part of an overall data security and loss prevention strategy, they lack the integration required to be a complete solution. Email encryption software should be an integral part of a greater data security solution in which security policies can be uniformly defined and enforced in the context of the business processes they enable. This enables data classification, monitoring, control, email encryption and file encryption controls to be described and enforced in a common way. It also means that the monitoring and auditing of data usage and movement is collected holistically across a single system and reported in aggregated and more actionable formats.
The Digital Guardian Difference
The Adaptive E-Mail Encryption Module (AME) extends Digital Guardian's comprehensive monitoring and control polices to perform on the fly, automated email encryption and capture the associated data usage and movement in a single integrated solution. AME uses patented data encryption and simplified key management technology to flexibly apply encryption to protect email content and attached files containing proprietary and sensitive information. AME provides:
- Automated encryption enforcement avoiding the requirement that employees remember to apply encryption
- Flexible encryption enforcement, applying email encryption only when needed
- Patented, automated key management as part of the Digital Guardian secure architecture greatly simplifying system management
- Support for Microsoft® Outlook/Exchange and Lotus® Notes/Domino protecting content and attachments with AES-256 encryption
- WinZip password based collaborative encryption designed to support mobile, joint venture, outsourcing and other partner related work environments
- Centralized visibility, auditing and reporting enabling security managers to understand what encrypted data moved in emails and as attachments as well as what did not, giving visibility into compliance with corporate policies and privacy.
