Email Encryption Solutions Reviewed: ITworld Compares Six Email Encryption Products

David Strom over at ITworld takes a look at six of the leading email encryption solutions in a short review titled "Effortless Email Encryption." Proofpoint Encryption, our SaaS-powered, policy-based email encryption solution is included.

Of today's email encryption solutions, Strom says, "Previous encryption products required a lot of effort towards key management and usually required a matched pair of programs to communicate between sender and receiver. That is thankfully a thing of the past, and there are several different products on the market today that make encryption easier, almost effortless."

On Proofpoint Encryption, Strom comments, "Proofpoint encrypts each message using a separate symmetric key pair, and the keys are maintained in the cloud as part of their service offering. This means more work on theirend to keep each message straight, but it also means that an administrator has more flexibility when it comes time to search for particular messages. They also have put a lot of work into their DLP features, as you can see in the associated screen shot that shows some of their rules around detecting Social Security numbers."
