Written by CipherTrust

An effective information security program also needs specific policies and procedures in place to assist with managing information risks on an ongoing basis. Once these policies and procedures have been defined,repparttar technology should provide automated implementation, enablement and enforcement of them.

Obviously, no single email security component can be used to secure all information; a solid information security infrastructure must consist of a combination of several technologies:

  • Firewalls and intrusion prevention systems accept or deny traffic into and out of networks.
  • Encryption ensures data integrity and confidentiality during transport acrossrepparttar 135969 Internet.
  • Content filtering monitorsrepparttar 135970 conversations traveling into and out ofrepparttar 135971 network, scanning for terms that could indicate a violation of regulatory or corporate policy.
  • Attachment filtering provides inspection of files sent within email messages to ensure that no confidential data is transmitted without proper safeguards in place.
The need to establish centralized policy-based governance overrepparttar 135972 transmission, encryption, and archival of sensitive information requires a secure gateway-based solution. The solution should be capable of interfacing with all of an organization’s business partners regardless ofrepparttar 135973 partner’s technological capabilities, and it should be transparent torepparttar 135974 user in order to maximizerepparttar 135975 efficiency and utility of email and encourage adoption of acceptable means of corporate communication.
