Secure Your Emails in Transit and at Rest

Secure Your Emails in Transit and at Rest

Encryption comes in many flavors. With Kiteworks, you can choose the method that best suits your needs: S/MIME, OpenPGP, and TLS 1.3 encryption for data in transit, and AES-256 for data at rest. Kiteworks also offers FIPS 140-2 validated encryption cyphers. This ensures that only authenticated users can read your messages. With on-premises and IaaS deployments, you retain sole access to the system, storage, and encryption keys. Of course, encryption is only one method for protecting emails and their content. With Kiteworks, emails and attachments are also scanned by configured antivirus, sandboxing / advanced threat protection (ATP), and data loss prevention (DLP), content disarm and reconstruction (CDR), and you control the quarantine process. Optional digital fingerprinting verifies email attachment integrity. Finally, organizations can set controls that prevent recipients from forwarding emails to unauthorized parties.

Govern Users Without Getting in Their Way

Protecting your sensitive information is likely your highest priority but you cannot let it slow down your employees. Kiteworks allows you to set role-based, granular security and governance controls that help you minimize exposure, yet provide flexibility where required. Apply, for example, higher levels of protection on emails to external users or specific domains, control recipient authentication options, expiration, and link forwarding, and set policies for return receipts and digital fingerprinting. Utilize comprehensive email tracking and audit reporting to demonstrate to auditors and regulators you have a grasp on who’s sharing your sensitive content with whom.

Send Emails and Let Your Policies Protect the Sensitive Information Inside

If you ask someone in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), they’ll likely tell you policy automation makes the world go round. With Kiteworks, GRC professionals can automate several policies that protect the sensitive content you send and receive in email. Set email policies to automatically secure the sensitive attachments and message bodies, while letting the non-sensitive ones pass through. Create rules based on user role, or scenarios like whether the recipient has an internal, external, or personal email address, whether the email contains an attachment, or the recipient has a risky destination domain, like .ru or .kp. Set tighter policies for sensitive-data roles such as employees in your legal and finance departments. Finally, leverage data classification capabilities to protect sensitive Microsoft Office documents that use Microsoft Office Sensitivity Labels.

Maintain Control of Content After It’s Been Emailed With SafeVIEW

Once an email has been sent, it’s impossible to know for sure what happens to the content; the recipient can share it with anyone. That is until now. Kiteworks’ secure email enables organizations to control who can view a file and for how long. Recipients receive a restricted “link-to” file pointing to the content, which stays on the hardened Kiteworks server. Double-clicking the link-to file authenticates the user, opens the content in the watermarked SafeVIEW viewer on the Kiteworks server, and produces an audit trail of all activities. While the recipient can download, forward, and share the link-to file, unauthorized recipients won’t be able to open it to view the content.

Secure Email FAQs

A secure email or a secure email service is a communication channel protected by encryption that allows users to send and receive messages without compromising the privacy of the content. It protects messages from being seen or intercepted by unauthorized third parties.

Secure email and secure email services usually employ encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and access controls. Encryption makes it difficult for hackers to access the communication by scrambling messages and making them unreadable to unauthorized parties. Authentication verifies the identity of the message sender and access control limits who can view the message.

You can ensure the security of your emails by using a secure email service like Kiteworks. This will encrypt your messages and protect them from being intercepted by unauthorized third parties. Additionally, you can use two-factor authentication for added security.

Using a secure email service lets you keep your email communications private and confidential. It also helps you comply with data privacy regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.

You can verify that secure email has been properly implemented by confirming whether or not the email program you are using is compliant with the security industry’s best practices and standards such as the S/MIME or PGP protocols.

Kiteworks enables users to create secure emails by applying secure encryption protocols to content before it is sent. Users can also secure email sent through Kiteworks by setting expiration rules and controlling who can access the emails. Additionally, emails sent from Kiteworks are automatically scanned for malicious content to ensure that only secure emails are sent.
