Email Encryption Prevents Data Leakage from Email Correspondence.

There are plenty of good reasons to encrypt and digitally sign e-mail.
Although there is a broad variety of client-based software to secure e-mail, this way of protection wins no recognition. The technology is too complex for too many users, costs are high and the use can hardly be enforced.

Instant Mail Encryption and Signature Solution

Z1 SecureMail Gateway encrypts and decrypts all the company`s e-mail traffic, while remaining completely transparent for the e-mail-sender. Z1 SecureMail Gateway - the virtual admin office protects the e-mail traffic of an entire corporation through encryption and digital signature.

It integrates easily into existing e-mail-infrastructures. Because Z1 SecureMail Gateway supports the two internationally-established standards for e-mail security, S/MIME and OpenPGP it is in compliance to every existing e-mail software. The encryption gateway supports ISIS-MTT and S/MIME v3 standards.

Z1 SecureMail Gateway acts as an SMTP proxy server that automatically encrypts, decrypts and signs e-mails as well as verifies e-mail signatures. It allows anti-virus, SPAM and content filtering software access to the e-mail traffic.

Central policy based email security for your complete e-mail traffic

Z1 SecureMail Gateway acts like an centralized admin office which opens your incoming letters and envelopes outgoing letters. It locks and unlocks the entire e-mail communication of company. Thus, it is called "virtual admin office". According to policy it encrypts, decrypts, signs and accordingly verifies signatures automatically. While doing this Z1 SecureMail Gateway stays totally invisible (called transparently) for the sender of an email.

The security officer configures the centrally established security policy via web-based management console (so called Admin WebClient). Z1 SecureMail Gateway acts as an SMTP proxy server which processes the complete incoming and outgoing e-mail traffic. Security mechanisms (encoding / signing) can either be made optional or mandatory based on recipient as well as sender addresses or their domains. In addition, users can control the security function of the central gateway with a short instruction in the subject line of an outgoing e-mail.

• Invisible for e-mail sender
• Unburdens security administration by automatic certificate management
• Content and virus filtering products work without interference
• E-mail security with or without Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Z1 SecureMail Gateway normally uses a so called organizational or domain certificate to perform the security mechanisms. Such certificates are available at all official trust centers e.g. at CyberTrust Inc. (formerly known as Betrusted) or at TC Trustcenter in Germany.

Highlights

Ideal communication capabilities:

Fully in compliance with international standards for secure e-mail (S/MIME and PGP) and interoperable to ISIS-MTT and S/MIME v3.

Easy integration

Via SMTP protocol as the only interface (POP and IMAP as options). Seamless integration in e-mail infrastructures of all kinds e.g. Lotus Domino, MS Exchange, Postfix etc.

Strong security

Integrating Hardware Security Modules certified according international standards (e.g. FIPS) of our technology partners offer secure key storage for high security needs.

Performance, load sharing and high availability

Two or more Z1 SecureMail Gateways can run in parallel, and by synchronization they may take over each others load at any given time. This offers high performance, scalability and satisfies demanding requirements of enterprise environments.

High flexibility and full support of the corporate user structure

A secured site-to-site communication is satisfying for most of all eMail applications. Z1 SecureMail Gateway enables this feasible alternative by using organizational or domain certificates. But it is as well able to import and dispose user certificates. Thus, with Z1 SecureMail Gateway individual policies for persons, groups, departments and branches are easily realized and the whole organization benefits from investments in a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

Expansible with sophisticated security features

We recommend the use of Hardware Security Modules (HSM) of renowned vendors (Eracom, Chrysalis, etc) within the Z1 SecureMail Gateway. This makes storage of private and secret keys highly secure. Time-Stamping functionality ensures the traceability of ebusiness and e-government transactions.

Scenarios:

Global eMail VPN

Although the Z1 SecureMail Gateway is also compatible with client-based S/MIME products, it unfolds its complete security power when cooperating with other enterprises employing Z1 products. Z1 SecureMail Gateway automatically finds domain certificates thus creating a worldwide Virtual Private e-mail Network.

Secure eBusiness

Modern eBusiness systems such as online shops, CRM or Supply Chain applications generate numerous e-mails. Z1 SecureMail Gateway is perfectly suited to protect this type of e-mail traffic. It digitally signs invoices, order confirmations, transaction data or newsletters and encrypts these if desired. Qualified time-stamp services can also be integrated into the process. These features substantially increase the trust and acceptance of your customers and business partners in your Secure eBusiness.

Multi-tenant architecture enables Software as a Service Offerings

Z1 SecureMail Gateway's multitenancy supports and enforces different security policies for various domains or sub-domains. This means, for example, that a global corporation can use different e-mail security policies for different branches or domains (.com, .co.uk, .ca etc.) with only one server system. A computer center, ASP or Managed Security Service Provider may offer secure e-mail services to small and medium businesses with little IT security knowledge.
