The Proofpoint Secure Messaging™ module adds powerful, policy-based email encryption software to your deployment. Proofpoint's powerful, policy-driven encryption features help mitigate the risks associated with regulatory violations, data loss and corporate policy violations by applying encryption automatically based on customizable policies.
Benefits of Encrypted Email Communication
-
Makes ad hoc, secure communication just as easy as traditional, non-encrypted messaging.
-
Automatically and dynamically applies encryption or decryption based on your organization's policies, right at the gateway. Your compliance and content security policies are consistently and accurately applied on an as-needed basis.
-
End-users can easily view their encrypted email through an easy-to-use web-based interface or desktop client.
-
Identity-based encryption technology eliminates the certificate lifecycle and key management hassles that accompany other encryption solutions.
Features
Encrypted email is commonly used to transmit sensitive or confidential information-including operational data, trade secrets, legal documents, financial information, and personal healthcare and identity information-both inside and outside the enterprise.
The need to secure this confidential information—and comply with a growing body of regulations that govern the transmission of private data—have made policy-based encrypted email a "must have" feature of a complete messaging security solution. The Proofpoint Secure Messaging module meets these requirements with the industry's most powerful and flexible solution for policy-driven secure messaging.
Policy-driven secure messaging
Training end-users in the proper use of encryption systems can be a significant barrier to successful deployment of traditional secure messaging solutions. But Proofpoint Secure Messaging is much easier to use and manage. Proofpoint's secure messaging solution automatically and dynamically applies encryption or decryption based on your organization's policies, right at the gateway. As a result, end-users don't need to take any special actions to take advantage of encryption features and your compliance and content security policies are consistently and accurately applied on an as-needed basis.
Easy to administer
Unlike alternative approaches (such as PKI) to encrypted email, Proofpoint's identity based email encryption software features provide effective protection for sensitive information without the administrative burdens and infrastructure costs typically associated with secure messaging.
-
Easy policy management: All encryption policies—whether they are driven by regulatory compliance, data security or internal corporate concerns—are centrally managed and enforced at the gateway. The Proofpoint Messaging Security Console provides a convenient graphical interface for defining encryption policies, which can be triggered based on message content identified by the Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance, Proofpoint Content Compliance or Proofpoint Digital Asset Security modules.
-
Simplified key and certificate management: Using Voltage Security's IBE (Identity-Based Encryption) technology, public keys are generated on-demand, eliminating the daunting certificate lifecycle and key management requirements of other encryption solutions. Ongoing maintenance of certificates and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) is not required.
-
Minimal data storage and archive requirements: Proofpoint Secure Messaging also simplifies the storage, backup and recovery overhead usually associated with message encryption. Using IBE, messages and keys do not need to be backed up or stored for extended periods of time.
Easy to use
Proofpoint Secure Messaging operates transparently to end-users without requiring software downloads or the installation and maintenance of desktop encryption clients. Proofpoint's encryption solution automatically encrypts and decrypts sensitive content as required, without end-users having to use and manage complicated digital certificates or encryption keys.
Low total cost-of-ownership
The Proofpoint Secure Messaging module seamlessly interfaces with other Proofpoint modules including Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance and Proofpoint Digital Asset Security. Easy deployment and minimal ongoing management requirements greatly reduce the ongoing costs associated with managing your secure messaging solution. And Proofpoint's unparalleled ease-of-use for end-users minimizes support, training and helpdesk costs.
Extremely granular control of encryption policies
As in Proofpoint's anti-spam, anti-virus and content security modules, secure messaging policies are managed and enforced on an enterprise level from a single location, using the Proofpoint Messaging Security Console. Once defined, enterprise encryption policies are applied automatically at the gateway, eliminating the risk of user error.
Message encryption policies can be extremely granular—encryption can be triggered by any combination of:
-
Structured data matches: Such as the presence of protected healthcare or financial information such as HIPAA codes, ABA routing numbers, credit card numbers and social security numbers as detected by the Proofpoint Regulatory Compliance module.
-
Unstructured data matches: Such as the presence of confidential information as detected by the Proofpoint Digital Asset Security module.
-
Keywords and regular expressions found in the subject line or content of messages as defined in the Proofpoint Content Compliance module.
-
Message origin or destination: Encrypt messages based on destination (e.g., a specific business partner or supplier) or sender. Messages can also be encrypted based on other message attributes such as attachment type.

Email can also be decrypted at the gateway, allowing Proofpoint's anti-spam, anti-virus and content compliance policies to be applied to encrypted email before it is delivered to end-users, ensuring that encrypted spam, malware and non-compliant messages are properly handled. |
