Data-Centric Security: Keeping Email Secure and eDiscovery Easy

Despite all the chatter (pardon the pun) regarding the importance of social media to enterprises these days, the way business gets done is and will remain rooted in email exchanges.  In fact, as studies have indicated enterprises receive, create and store more and more email data each year as mission critical information increasingly is in electronic formats.  In addition, while almost everything is not digitized, much of it never gets printed and put in a physical file, but rather is electronically stored so it can be easily accessed from a variety of needs including for legal and audit purposes.

On the latter front, due to things like HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance and their requisite requirements that confidential information be secured, archived for extended periods of time and easily found and retrieved, the presence of an integrated eDiscovery solution also has now become almost mandatory.

As a result of these trends, a top priority of enterprise IT professionals at companies of all sizes is protecting data. This means data at rest, on the move as well as being processed and analyzed.  It translates into adoption of a holistic data-centric approach to security, especially as it relates to the massive volumes of information contained in emails and their attachments.

So how does one employ a data-centric approach to securing mission critical information contained in emails and their attachments, and still make that information easily found via eDiscovery?

If you are interested in best practices for securing email-based information,  mark your calendar and register to participate in the webinar, Protecting Your Enterprise: Keeping Email Secure and eDiscovery Easy, to be held Wednesday April 15, at 1:00PM EDT/10:00AM PDT. You are invited to join Madhu Reddy, Global Product Manager, HP Security Voltage, Michael Osterman, Founder, Osterman Research, and myself as we discuss in detail how to protect enterprise communications with data-centric email encryption, while allowing easy access to the archived secure emails and attachments in the event of legal or audit requests.

This is a unique opportunity to learn about the following: 

  • How to protect your enterprise communications with data-centric email encryption
  • How advances in eDiscovery enable protected emails to be easily accessed and managed
  • Why ease of use, deployment and administration is fundamental to email security success across a global enterprise
  • How email encryption can become a strategic business enabler

There is an old saying that “An ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure.”  With email presenting an inviting target for bad actors and something of vital importance for compliance with corporate governance and government mandates, there are few priorities that take precedence over protecting the data at all times while keeping it accessible.  If a data-centric approach to securing email data isn’t in your present, it can and should be in your future.
