The current state of cyber security woes for businesses presents itself as a harsh fact: 88% of companies suffer a data breach due to non-encrypted emails with sensitive information being hacked. So, what are the key drivers that persuade organizations to take encryption seriously? 1 - **To comply with data security regulations and requirements** Organizations must comply, by using the proper security and storage protocols, with U.S and E.U regulations in order to be considered (legally) in good-standing. 2 - **To protect intellectual property of the business** Trade secrets are a real deal, and are highly sought after by hackers for ransom and blackmail which often results in bankruptcy of the company due to lack of money and trust from customers. 3 - **To protect customer information** Protecting customers and their personal information is at the forefront of security concerns for business. The rise of data breaches within the U.S shows that implementing stronger security protocols is vital to business continuity. #### Our Solution: ExchangeDefender Corporate Encryption For the modern workplace, all types of business communications are done via email, and now data exposure has turned into a problem of great magnitude. With just a single wrong-click, an employee could unintentionally expose secret company information, financial statements, contracts etc. In order for organizations to thrive on business continuity, they must protect their data by enabling an email encryption solution. [ExchangeDefender Encryption](https://exchangedefender.com/email-encryption-for-business.php) enables organizations to securely send, receive, and manage confidential email, providing an easy, seamless way to implement content protection.

It also integrates easily with our email hosting solution, and is compatible with all major email service providers – including Office 365, on-premise Exchange, and G-Suite for Business. #### What types of Encryption do we use? ExchangeDefender Corporate Encryption involves multiple systems to encrypt the message contents and notifications generated by the system. **Channel Encryption** ExchangeDefender uses SSL/TLS encryption of the SMTP communication between the client's email server and the ExchangeDefender network. All traffic is automatically encrypted using the same level of security that is used with online shopping, banking, etc. **Managed Web Encryption** ExchangeDefender web servers are encrypted using commercial SSL certificates. Client configuration, email review, message retrieval and all services provided through ExchangeDefender websites are automatically encrypted and cannot be accessed through a plain-text process that bypasses encryption. **Data Encryption** ExchangeDefender web servers, email servers, and routing hubs secure all client data through multiple layers of security including: Complex account and login restrictions Remote access restricted to ExchangeDefender NOC IP address space All remote access sessions are recorded and authenticated Administrators do not have access to client message data or configuration information #### Keep business data safe with Encrypton To protect your organization from data breaches, email encryption should be used as a preventative measure against tomorrow’s hackers.
