Security ... think about it!
E-mail encryption has been around almost as long as e-mail itself, but due to quirky installation and support requirements, the security technology hasn't been very popular with many enterprises. Fortunately, the current crop of e-mail encryption products and services includes options that are easy to deploy and use and that don't require a great deal of IT support to operate. One such easy-to-deploy option is Hushmail Business, an entirely hosted solution from longtime e-mail encryption player Hush Communications Canada. As a hosted service, the Hush offering carries no client-side installation requirements. However, the company does offer an Outlook plug-in that works with Exchange and automatically handles the authentication and exchange encryption keys—something that used to be a major support headache. On the server end, administrators need only configure a company e-mail domain with Hush to handle the encrypted e-mail traffic.
