E-mail security: the challenges

Various factors affect the level of protection required by e-mail correspondence:
- How can undesirable contents, such as spam and viruses, be blocked?
- How can the applicable formal requirements placed on e-mail communication be complied with on a company-wide basis?

These and many other questions need to be considered when looking at the overall e-mail security picture. It is also important to maintain firm control of both incoming as well as outgoing e-mail traffic. Stand-alone solutions, covering only some aspects, ultimately fail to provide the necessary level of security. The only way to make sure that your e-mails will remain confidential and comply with the legal requirements is to have a central process that covers all aspects of e-mail communication and at the same time makes life easier for the user.
