Email Encryption: Tips for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises
Proofpoint email encryption expert Ken Liao is quoted in a new article at Processor magazine on encryption deployment and management tips for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The article, Encryption Blueprint: Implementation and Management Tips for SMEs, isn't solely about email encryption, but looks at some of the issues involved in encrypting data at rest and data in motion.
Email encryption isn't just for large enterprises anymore, of course, since data protection regulations can apply to organizations of any size. And enterprises of all sizes are very concerned about protecting confidential and private data. Traditionally, email encryption has been difficult to deploy and sometimes difficult to use. The latest generation of email encryption solutions has come a long way in addressing those issues.
Proofpoint Encryption, for example, can be deployed entirely as a SaaS solution, eliminating all of the issues involved with implementing hardware and software on-premises. And, even when deployed on-premises, Proofpoint Encryption makes use of our Proofpoint Key Service to provide secure, highly-available and fully redundant key storage facilities.
