Web-based Email Encryption With Superior Usabilty, Security and Management Features
Learn more about some of the key usabilty, security and management differentiators of Echoworx Encrypted Message eXchange.
Usability Features
No plug-in required; use any web browser
Users encrypted and decrypt messages through the EMX web portal using any standard desktop or mobile web browser using their existing email address.
Simple GUI with transparent encryption
The EMX web interface is extremely easy to use; all encryption and decryption functions are hidden to end-users.
No key exchange or management required
Intelligent key lookup functionality occurs transparently eliminating the need for users to exchange and manage encryption keys.
Send to anyone capabilities
Encrypted messages can be sent to any email address. Other EMX users and non-subscribers collect their messages at the EMX web portal while users with local credentials receive signed and encrypted S/MIME messages directly to their existing email client.
Security Features
Strong encryption and authentication
EMX uses standards-based technologies such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), S/MIME and X.509 certificates to enable the parties in a dialogue to establish confidentiality, message integrity and user authentication.
End-to-end email security
Messages are protected while in transit over wired and wireless networks and at rest in the mail store on the EMX environment providing maximum security from internal and external data threats.
Non-repudiation of messages
Due to the importance of non-repudiation in legal matters such as the admissibility of email in court, end-to-end encryption systems provide stronger verification that a message was not tampered with and the identity of the sender and recipient(s).
Enterprise access to decryption keys
Enterprises can optionally enable managed recovery for the decryption keys of employees. Configurable access policies mean that no single administrator has access to these keys.
Management Features
Flexible deployment options
EMX can be run as a hosted service or on-premises within your existing IT infrastructure. As a web service (i.e. no client software) that has built-in administrative features to streamline roll-out, EMX can be deployed in a matter of hours.
Centrally manage users and policies
A common encryption framework and administration console are used for managing users, keys and policies reducing the time and complexity involved with enterprise data protection.
Rich logging, monitoring and reporting
A full audit trail of user and message activities helps you comply with government laws, industry regulations and partners that mandate the encryption of confidential email.
Private label branding
Enterprises have the option of branding the EMX email notifications and web interfaces with their company logo and color scheme.
Flexible and extensible
EMX can be used as a standalone application or in combination with other Echoworx email and data encryption applications to provide a more holistic, multi-layered security solution.
