There probably isn’t a business on the planet that could function without email. It’s an essential tool for business communications, and an indispensable conduit for information exchange with partners and customers.
And that makes it potentially dangerous.
It seems that each day’s news brings reports of what can happen when email security isn’t up to snuff:
- malicious outsider attacks that sap user productivity or even bring down entire email networks
- data loss incidents that expose confidential operational, employee, or customer data
- and the kind of accidental data breaches that can occur when even one employee sends a sensitive, unsecured message or file attachment to the wrong recipient
The fallout from these kinds of email security failures can be devastating – data loss, competitive disadvantage, business disruption, damage to brand and reputation, and litigation and regulatory fines. To protect your business, you need comprehensive email security, and that means analyzing and securing every sent message and every received message, every single time.
Axway email security solutions deliver whatever level of protection you need – from protecting email streams against spam, phishing, and viruses, to email filtering and encryption capabilities that secure sensitive data and enable compliance with corporate policies and government regulations such as U.S.-based HIPAA, PCI, and GLBA requirements, the European Union Data Protection Directive, and Japan’s Personal Data Protection Law. And Axway email solutions can seamlessly plug-and-play with your existing architecture, giving you the flexibility to add new levels of security as your needs change.
PKI Safeguards for Identity Security
Banks, businesses, governments, and defense organizations around the world use Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) to secure everything from enterprise network access, to multi-million dollar electronic transactions, to physical entry into military facilities. These PKI-enabled systems depend on digital certificates—electronic credentials issued by a certification authority (CA)—to validate the identity of individuals, organizations, and devices before granting access. Axway Validation Authority Suite protects mission-critical infrastructures by ensuring that revoked or invalid credentials cannot be used for secure email, smart card login, network access (including wireless), or other sensitive electronic transactions.
Axway email and identity security solutions provide:
- Complete email security.
Axway MailGate is a robust, easy-to-manage email security solution that provides comprehensive inbound threat protection, outbound data loss prevention, and archiving capabilities. Virus protection, antispam, and Intelligent Edge Defense capabilities deflect junk email and inbound attacks, eliminating up to 90 percent of email traffic before it can enter your network. MailGate’s simple checkbox content filtering, intuitive policy manager, and automatic gateway-to-gateway encryption make it easy to prevent accidental data leakage. And Axway Archiving provides an affordable, reliable, and secure hosted email archiving service.
- Policy-based encryption.
Axway Secure Messenger inspects all email at the network gateway, identifies email content that is in violation of enterprise-defined security policies, and automatically redirects suspect messages to a secure, encrypted email channel for further action, such as deletion, quarantine, encrypted delivery, or end-user notification of policy violation. This perimeter-based approach ensures that all internal and external users comply with enterprise privacy and security policies all the time, with no need to install client software on the desktop.
- Transparent file attachment management.
Combining support for very large file attachments with content-based policy management, encryption, authentication, and tracking capabilities, Axway File Transfer Direct eliminates the infrastructure, cost, and security concerns around sending large and confidential files via email — without requiring end users to change the way they work or download and master new software.
- Identity Security.
Axway Validation Authority (VA) Suite offers a comprehensive, scalable, and reliable framework for real-time validation of digital certificates within PKI environments, ensuring the validity and integrity of highly valued and trusted transactions.
