Covertix Secures Email Communications with SmartCipher
November 2015 by Marc Jacob
Covertix announces the availability of complete email protection within its SmartCipherTM suite of data-centric security solutions. Both messages and attachments are protected with rules-based classification, ensuring that data is secure everywhere it travels, within and external to the organization.
SmartCipher protects sensitive data in motion, in use, and at rest, anywhere and anytime. Email messages – both the content and attachments – now can be fully controlled by preassigned classification policies.
With the new features, email can be accessed only by the designated users, devices, location, and/or role. Administrators can change access on the fly, in real time, so if someone’s role has changed, separation of duties can be enforced, even with already opened messages. Emails can also be quickly and securely recalled, without the accidental recipient being able to view, change or print anything. The addition of email protection does not interfere with “traditional” abilities within email – messages can be searched, previewed, and authenticated.
Covertix technology brings email protection to both email solutions on the desktop and the cloud without interfering with business processes. It adds an extra layer of security protection to Outlook and Google for Business with specific features targeting the Office365 platform like automatic Outlook folder encryption to help cope with the drafts folder now hosted on the cloud.
Administrators can automatically classify specific types of email to be protected, or users can decide on a case-by-case basis which messages to protect, based on the requirements of the specific organization. Covertix email technology adds substantial value even if the customer is already using S/mime. It further strengthens security if they aren’t.
