All the communication today is in digital form. Along with the speed and ease of communication comes the fear of loss of information and privacy. The threat is more serious at an enterprise level where confidential data related to business and clients, is at stake. The concerns pertaining to email security can be handled with email encryption software which encrypts the email and its attachments before it is sent from the source and reaches their destination.
Email encryption can work either automatically and encrypts all the emails of the company without any user intervention or the emails can be encrypted manually and selectively for individual emails. Depending on your business size, you can use the email encryption software best suited to your organization.

Symantec Email Encryption
Symantec provides automatic email encryption by using open PGP and S/MIME protocols to streamline the administrative hassles. Symantec provides three levels of email protection:
Desktop Email Encryption. A centralized management console verifies the emails according to defined policies (individual/group) and automatically encrypts or decrypts the email messages and ensures that a message that reaches the client’s network is fully secured. The desktop encryption software is compatible with Microsoft and Mac operating systems.
Gateway Encryption. Instead of deploying an email encryption system on-site, the users at a location can send all their messages through a web gateway where all the emails are encrypted using the best encryption rules. Since no software is installed on the client the administrative costs are also saved.
Mobile Encryption. Mobile users can send and receive emails securely by logging into their phones using various encryption policies. Symantec mobile email encryption supports both iOS and Android-based phones.
The Symantec email encryption software is compatible with various email clients that include Lotus Notes, Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail, outlook express, and Novel Groupwise. The organizations can use an additional layer of protection (PGP encryption) by easily integrating the email security software with Symantec DLP software.

Trend Micro
Trend Micro offers quick key generation with its “private post” technology, provides management of keys and passwords 24×7 on a hosted environment, and hassle-free receiving of emails without any need for any client software. Trend Micro provides the following email encryption services.
- Cloud-based encryption. Eliminating the need for any storage, user registration, or management of keys, Trend Micro provides CTA (Central Trust Authority) to host the keys on the cloud. Using the IBE technology which designates the recipient email ID as a public key, the receiver gets a private key from CTA to decrypt the email.
- Client-level Encryption. For an end to end encryption, Trend Interscan uses IBE technology to create the keys based on the sender’s email ID and a 256-bit number. These keys are regenerated on monthly basis and sent to all the Trend Micro registered users.
- Virtual Gateway encryption. Instead of an additional physical server needed to create a Gateway server, Trend micro creates a virtual gateway server in the existing IT infrastructure along with its existing VMs on the server thus reducing the IT costs. The emails are then encrypted using pre-created policies or rules.
