FEATURES FOR ENHANCED VISIBILITY & CONTROL
Email security professionals using WatchGuard Email Encryption can expect to benefit from the exception
control over business email, including:
control over business email, including:
Guaranteed read receipts. With traditional email, senders wishing to track read receipts must manually set
up a read receipt request for each email prior to pressing the send button. Then, the sender must rely on
the recipient to initiate a reply in order to receive a read receipt acknowledgment. WatchGuard Email
Encryption eliminates this cumbersome process, since recipients must retrieve a decryption key from the
system before they read its contents. As such, the system knows when the message has been read and
provides automatic acknowledgement that the message has been retrieved. On the flip side, senders can be
automatically notified by the system if an encrypted email has not been opened prior to expiry, alerting the
sender to follow up directly with the recipient on important unread messages.
Message Locking. Occasionally, senders mistakenly send an encrypted email which contains inaccurate
content, or is mistakenly sent to the wrong recipient, or quite simply contains information that needs to be
recalled for various business reasons. With WatchGuard Email Encryption, senders can reduce the
consequences of such an error by locking an encrypted message to prevent it from being viewed even after
it has been delivered to the recipient’s inbox.
Message expiration. Senders can set an expiration date for encrypted messages, after which they can no
longer be opened. This can be done at the time the message is being sent, or the message can be expired
manually at any time after the message has been delivered.

ENCRYPTION OPTIONS: WatchGuard Email Encryption vs. Public Keys & Secure Webmail
WatchGuard Email Encryption is a next-generation solution that uses CRES secure envelope technology. It
should not be confused with first-generation public key encryption solutions which require special software
and certificates, or second-generation secure webmail encryption technologies, which uses a web server in
the system to store encrypted email. Rather, WatchGuard Email Encryption uses a web browser to
authenticate users and display decrypted messages. Ultimately, this results in a more cost-effective, secure,
and efficient solution for securing email than public key or web-based systems. Key benefits of the
WatchGuard Email Encryption solution include:

recipients’ inboxes.
recipients’ inboxes.
No Message Storage on Hosted Key Server. The CRES hosted key server does not store messages.
Encrypted messages and their keys are only ever combined on the recipient’s computer. This results
in a significantly more secure approach than storing both messages and decryption keys on a local
server.
