Secure e-mail and Web gateway security provider Marshal today launched its new e-mail encryption and digital signing solution for data leakage prevention and regulatory compliance.
MailMarshal Secure Email Server is a dedicated policy-based secure e-mail solution that provides encryption, digital signing and deep content inspection of e-mail traffic and can operate with any e-mail gateway that can recognise S/MIME encrypted e-mail.
Uniquely, this new solution automates the updating of contact details and secure certificate credentials with all secure e-mail partners from a centralised server using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) synchronisation. This feature enables secure e-mail communication between large groups of business partners at a fraction of the cost of competitive solutions.
As a dedicated server-based solution at the gateway, MailMarshal Secure Email Server provides a single point of control to manage e-mail encryption for an entire organisation. No additional workstation software is required and no end-user training is needed to ensure that all e-mail content flowing in and out of an organisation strictly conforms to internal policies and external regulatory requirements. MailMarshal Secure Email Server is scalable to meet the needs of any size of organisation and communicates with any third-party S/MIME gateway to provide easy integration with partner organisations.
"Public Key Infrastructure provides a robust system for securing confidential data, but the complexity and cost of managing PKI certificate authentication with multiple partners has been a barrier to its adoption by large-scale enterprise," said Bradley Anstis, vice-president of Products at Marshal. "MailMarshal Secure Email Server now automates this process to both maximise e-mail security and minimise the administrative burden for organisations of any size."
MailMarshal Secure Email Server offers optional levels of e-mail encryption using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with S/MIME encryption standards right up to Triple-DES (168-bit) strength cryptography; ensuring that organisations can collaborate with partners using email, without exposing themselves to the risk of data-leakage or a compliance breach.
"This new solution is designed to make secure encrypted e-mail communication between business partners easy to deploy and manage, even in the largest organisations with the most sensitive data," said Anstis. "MailMarshal Secure Email Server provides customers with greater security and control over e-mail-based content and deeper protection against data leakage at a significantly lower cost than any of the competitive solutions available today."
"Strong encryption is very attractive as a way to secure trading communities, especially given the increasing demands of laws and regulations," said David Ferris, senior analyst for Ferris Research. "Marshal's approach-standards-based encryption, automated certificate management and policy-based filtering of decrypted material-is very valuable in this regard."
MailMarshal Secure Email Server is an e-mail gateway solution that enables secure and safe communication between organisations. A separate, scalable and standalone solution that provides encryption and digital signing of messages, it also authenticates e-mail sender and recipient credentials to maintain communities of secure communication partners.
