world’s most important networks, these products establish a powerful perimeter defense.
Our line of appliances is smarter and faster in part because they take advantage of Cisco Security Intelligence
Operations and global threat correlation. With this advanced technology, organizations can improve their security
and protect users from the latest Internet threats.
Features
Although regular emails are not a secure information-exchange medium, encryption and key management are
often seen as too complex to be used in everyday communications. The Registered Envelope Service takes away
the complexity behind encryption and makes it easy to send and receive highly secure messages.
Secure Delivery Methods
The service offers a wide range of options for message delivery and can support any email encryption requirement.
Cisco email encryption is a highly secure, envelope-
based “push” technology that combines universal reach, ease
of use, and low total cost of ownership (TCO). Encrypted messages can be received by any email user -
independent of the email client, operating system, or device - without the need to install any software or requiring
the sender to pre-exchange encryption credentials with recipients.
Business-Class Email
In addition to safeguarding email content, the encryption technology enhances visibility and control over email.
Guaranteed read receipts allow users to know exactly when a message was viewed by each recipient.
Message expiration and recall prevents mistakenly sent messages from being opened and automatically secures
old messages. The message may be recalled at any time.
Authentication and key delivery typically occurs by identifying user credentials. When a recipient has been
authenticated, the key for that message is released and the recipient gets access to the message.
Enrollment management is provided for first-time recipients as they are guided through a single screen to create
an account on the key server. This account may be used to receive any future messages.
