ServerBright can help you tighten up email security, and implement the strongest industry-standard safeguards for gerneral data management, protecting payloads at rest or in flight, validating authenticity and securing storage.
We can review, advise and implement better practices for the safe encryption of all your data. In addition, we can manage your overall encryption practices on your behalf, ensuring that there is never a time where data is transferred, or stored, "in the clear".
At an early stage in Internet history, the US Government wanted to ban strong encryption for use by ordinary individuals and businesses.
Thankfully, the world has moved on and strong encryption is now a badge of honour.
With modern encryption schemes and industry best-practice, your website, file transfers and data storage can all be protected using state-of-the-art, military-grade standards.
A security audit can reveal where your encryption may be weak.
Without an adequate safeguard, e-mail (in theory) can be tampered with by an intermediary, without the knowledge of the sender or receiver.
An "adequate safeguard" is, of course, encryption. With the use of public key infrastructure, e-mail message payloads can be encrypted and digitally signed, meaning:
the recipient will be the only person able to read that e-mail;
the recipient will be able to validate that it was digitally signed by the sender; and
the recipient will be able to determine that no tampering had occurred with the message.
There are two main methods to encrypt email - let's discuss what's best for you.
