E-Mail Security

Effective protection against interlopers.

What is it?

Regardless whether it's the old or new economy, e-mail is a vital component of many business models for improving the efficient communication with customers, suppliers or field workers. E-Mail security means functions for scanning e-mails and deleting certain attachments or words from them, suppressing links in them, attaching comments to them or deleting viruses from them.

Who needs it?

Companies that require an effective and efficient IT security mechanism for their e-mail communications but who don't, however, have sufficient security know-how and for cost reasons don't want to acquire and maintain that.

What are our strengths?

Our e-mail security services and product portfolio guarantees comprehensive protection of data and networks, while maintaining optimal data transfer. Our system engineers and administrators are specially trained in the development and operation of complex
E-Mail security systems. Starting with a well documented general security policy they develop jointly with you an infrastructure which secures all incoming and outgoing e-mail traffic. Our service packages cover such topics as:

Antispam Gateway

A continually worsening problem is the so-called spam mails (un-requested mass mailings). There are a number of individually applicable products, all based on different technologies that we can use to block the storm of unwanted e-mail. They all differ in areas such as ease of use and detailed techniques applied but in general, their effectivity and efficiency is comparable.

Antivirus Gateway

A continual threat is E-mails that contain a virus. Virus scanners that scan an e-mail for virus infected content minimize the risk of the virus carrying out what, to the receiver, would be its nefarious deeds. The product array is wide and every application has strengths and weaknesses, hence any system should employ at least two different products. We'll give you comprehensive advice on the combination options.

Encryption

Exchanging confidential information via e-mail is a security risk if it is transferred unencrypted. Data transferred across the Internet or intranets is un-encrypted by ENGLISH. A further weakness is the e-mail system's failure to guarantee the authenticity of the sender. The absence of such a mechanism in standard e-mail systems means an impersonator can use very simple mechanisms to falsify the return address. We have the know-how and technical capabilities in this important area to provide your company with a well sized protection strategy.

Solutions delivered under our e-mail Security Service banner are always designed to cover all the communications requirements. Security Policies form the foundation on which IT security mechanisms are introduced.
Our policies are developed according to guidelines produced by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and the specific business requirements.
