Company Secret or Company Gossip?
Thursday, February 5th, 2009You’re a responsible person and you work for a responsible company. You’ve taken steps to make sure that your email system is secure so you use an email encryption system that ensures that all the confidential email that leaves your network is encrypted. That’s laudable and you at least recognize the problem but you’ve left a huge hole in your security. If your system encrypts only email that leaves your network you are still vulnerable because most experts agree that the bulk of email theft happens INSIDE your firewall.
Consider for a moment the number of emails that are sent within your enterprise that have confidential content.Business plans, executive compensation, staff reductions, new policies under discussion, all of these are critical to your business but if your company secrets become company gossip it could go straight to your bottom line, and not in a “good way”.
So what’s the answer? The best place for your email security to start is right on your desktop. The logical time to encrypt your email is immediately after it’s written and before it is put in flight on your network.
