Types of Email Security “On Premise” or “In the Cloud”?

Email security comes in two forms “On Premise” or “In the Cloud”. On Premise solutions reside on the organisations network were as In the Cloud solutions are done out on the internet by managed services providers. On Premise solutions generally tend to be more granular than In the Cloud offerings, although the organisation has the overheads of power, updating the system, providing redundancy should an appliance/ server fail and updating the hardware.

Data Leakage Provention

Many organisations are looking at Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) and the controls they can put in to place to manage data loss from the organisation. Cygnia’s range of email security solution are extremely configurable and can help as part of a wider DLP strategy.

Email encryption provides secure transport of emails from one recipient to another. The types of encryption can vary from PGP, SMime, TLS and Web Portal Technologies as do the transport methods. PGP emails are sent from one gateway to the other whereas web portals stay on the senders network and the recipient uses an SSL session to view the email like a secure webmail session.
