Sending information by email remains the most popular and convenient way to share files. However, allowing unprotected data to flow freely presents a significant business risk. Exposure to unauthorised recipients can result in financial loss and damaged reputations.
Egress Switch offers a combination of policy based gateway and desktop email encryption tailored to meet your business requirements. Encrypt email sent to third parties containing confidential information such as social security numbers, key words, or credit card numbers. Simply drag and drop the files you want to share into an email, set time and date restrictions to remain in complete control, and click send. Switch email encryption really is that easy!
Securing sensitive information sent by email does not need to be complicated and over architected. Protecting confidential information from being mishandled is actually very easy to implement using email & file encryption that enables security policy to follow the data – wherever it resides.
Using Egress Switch you can be certain that only authorised individuals access your data – even after it's left your physical control. Put a stop once and for all to emails containing sensitive data being forwarded to unintended recipients.
Need to send out information ahead of time, but don’t want your recipients to access the information until a later date? This is a common business situation in cases such as distributing press releases, financial results, or even confidential public reports. Traditional email encryption will protect the email in transit but not satisfy the need to embargo restricted information until a secure window in time.
The answer is simple; by implementing protection that follows the data, you set time and date restrictions in real-time – staying in complete control over shared information.
View audit events in real-time, including geographic location of where and when your information is being accessed. Remain in complete control over emails or shared files and manage access to sensitive data without having to redistribute your data. Don't allow confidential information to fall into the wrong hands.
Egress Switch enables large Enterprise or professional individuals to share information securely without the need for complicated infrastructure. Secure your email using our integrated MS Outlook add-in or protect large files uploaded to FTP(s) or SharePoint sites. Switch even supports transparent CD/DVD encryption for information sent in the mail.
