With the potential for data breaches and cyberattacks, email security is a common concern for many businesses. Encryption is a powerful technology that helps secure emails and hinder unauthorized access. If your business deals with sensitive information, Enterprise Guardian® can provide email services with HIPAA-compliant email encryption protection. Here’s what to know about email encryption and how it protects your data:
How Email Encryption Works To Secure Emails
When you send an email, it travels through various networks and servers before reaching its destination. During this journey, the email can be vulnerable to interception by hackers or cyber criminals who may want to view its contents. Encryption works by scrambling your email contents so that they become unreadable without a key. Only authorized parties with access to the key can decrypt and read the message. Even if others intercept the email, it will be unreadable and useless to anyone without the key. This feature helps secure emails and prevent confidential information from falling into the wrong hands.
End-to-end encryption helps make email security even stronger. This encryption type can protect both data in transit and at rest, providing a higher level of security for sensitive information. Even the email service provider should be unable to read the email’s contents. We offer this type of encryption at Enterprise Guardian®, keeping your emails secure throughout the full emailing process.
Why Email Encryption Matters for Businesses
Businesses that handle sensitive information are required to comply with regulations like HIPAA, which sets standards for protecting the privacy and security of individuals’ health information. Failure to comply can result in potential fines and damage to your reputation. With email encryption, you can comply with these regulations and protect your business from penalties. Email encryption also protects your clients from identity theft and fraud.
Companies may benefit from securing emails that contain key information, such as financial data, trade secrets, and confidential communications. Without proper encryption, this information can be compromised by cyberattacks. Data encryption is a suitable safeguard against cyber threats that aim to compromise your business’s integrity and financial stability. Enterprise Guardian® offers comprehensive email security to protect your business’s sensitive information and reputation.
