Benefits of Encrypted Email Services in Business

With technological advancements even security concerns are growing day by day and eavesdropping of sensitive emails is one of those main security concerns. The emails that we normally send over the internet are transmitted from one location to another as plain text and are not protected by security protocols such as SSL/TLS. Hence, it becomes a lot easier for network eavesdroppers to intercept these messages while they are being transmitted and avail all the sensitive information that don’t belong to them. Sensitive information could include anything from bank account information, passwords to important documents, secretive legal information, data related to finances and projections of a company or anything else important. Hence, there is a strong need to protect these sensitive emails from eavesdroppers and that’s where encrypted email services come into picture.

Encrypted email services are provided as enterprise level softwares that are normally used by enterprise level corporations and even small businesses and startups these days. These services encrypt all the information contained in sensitive emails, from text to attachments and ensure that only the right recipient is able to decrypt the encrypted email and avail all the sensitive information within. Encrypted email services are integrated within the email setup used by the corporation and charge on user basis i.e. the number of email accounts or employees who use encrypted emails within an organization. Use of encrypted email services in big corporations and startups alike has many advantages. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

1. Flexibility

Before encrypted email services were popular, big corporations used PKI-based solutions which required the use of a public key infrastructure and exchange of a couple of encryption and decryption keys known as the public key and the private key. However, this process is very tedious when it comes to sending emails in bulk and hence when compared to PKI-based security setups, encrypted email services are a lot flexible.

2. Ease of Installation

If a corporation is using an email setup for all of its operations; it is quite difficult to replace this setup with a new encrypted email setup all together. Encrypted email services on the other hand are easy to install on an existing email setup and integrate with all the existing hardware and software in the company.

3. Cheaper

Considering the above two facts that encrypted email services require less training and no new email setup, they save a fortune while securing all the email accounts of a company.

4. Protection of Legal Proof

Lastly, these encryption services help organizations in protection of legal proof related to emails which can be used to prove that certain emails were sent by the sender and received by the recipient. During legal complications, protection of legal proof related to emails is pretty important.
