Easily Send Encrypted Email
Encrypt Emails Directly from Outlook with a Single Click
Figure 2. Cisco Email Security Encryption Plug-in
An “Encrypt Message” button installed on the menu bar of each Microsoft Outlook email message (Figure 2)
enables users to encrypt email in two ways:
●
Desktop encryption: Users can encrypt email directly from Outlook and immediately send the encrypted
email message from their desktop. The email stays encrypted as it travels from the Outlook client to the
recipient.
●
Flag encryption: Users can mark the email message so that the Email Security Appliance will inspect and
encrypt it before it leaves your network.
Remove Dependency on Browsers
Encrypt and Decrypt Directly in Microsoft Outlook
Control your highly sensitive email without crossing the mail server unencrypted. With the Cisco Email Security
Plug-in, everything is done within Microsoft Outlook itself. No browsers are required, reducing complexity.
Increase Sender Control
Reduce Administrative Burden on IT
When misaddressed email is handled manually, the process usually requires administrators to open the mail
server, search for the mail, and revoke the keys. The time delay often results in lost messages.
The Cisco Email Security Plug-in eliminates the need for administrator intervention and gives the sender control.
Within seconds, the sender can identify if a message has been read and can revoke the keys. The sender can also
self-administer expiration dates and read-by dates, and can lock and unlock messages directly from Microsoft
Outlook. New search capabilities are now provided for managing messages. In addition to the existing Manage
Secure Message dialog box, a new Manage Message dialog box is provided.
Simplify Installation and Management
Install and Modify a Single Interface for Users and Administrators
Package the Cisco Email Security Plug-in with encryption provisioning information and deploy the Plug-in through
your standard enterprise mass installation tools. This software works with the highly available encryption key
management service, Cisco Registered Envelope Service.
The administrator has full control over which users can use desktop encryption or flag encryption.
Supported Email Clients
The Cisco Email Security Plug-in supports Microsoft Outlook 2007 through 2013, 32- and 64-bit, on Windows Vista,
Windows 7, and Windows 8 operating systems.
