Policy Based Encryption.cloud

Data leakage from a single email containing sensitive or confidential information could lead to both costly and legal repercussions for your business.



Symantec MessageLabs Policy Based Encryption.cloud is a hosted service that helps you to automatically safeguard the security and privacy of sensitive data you exchange with customers and business partners via email. The service lets you build flexible encryption policies to scan email attachments, header subject, or body and will automatically encrypt and deliver emails which trigger encryption policies, while delivering all other emails as normal unencrypted communications.

By choosing a cloud based email encryption solution you can start protecting your sensitive information in days and offload the cumbersome task of managing digital certificates and encryption keys. This service does not require installation of appliances or software by senders or recipients- regardless of whether the organisations or individuals exchanging emails with your business are Symantec, MessageLabs clients or have their own encryption capabilities.

Our policy based email encryption service gives your business the ability to secure all personal and sensitive data being sent or received via email.
