How does Echoworx Secure Mail Gateway work?
Echoworx Secure Mail Gateway can reside on-site or within a hosted data center. When an email is composed, once the user presses the send button, the message is scanned for viruses and the content is also analyzed to detect whether confidential information is being sent, based on pre-defined corporate policies. If policy management detects sensitive information is enclosed, the message is routed to the Echoworx Secure Mail Gateway where the message is automatically encrypted and sent to the recipient. The encryption is completely transparent to the end user. The complexity of digital certificates and encryption keys are all managed in the background with zero impact to workflow.
If the recipient is an Echoworx Secure Mail user, they will receive the message directly in their mail box as an encrypted message. If the recipient is not an Echoworx Secure Mail user they will be directed to a secure web- based portal where they can register themselves to automatically receive encrypted messages. They simply set up a password when they receive their first encrypted message, which enables them to easily receive messages, reply securely and add attachments to these messages.
