SonicWall Email Encryption Service
Email Security Platform

Overview:

A powerful framework for managing compliance requirements and providing mobile-ready, secure email exchange

Today, email is the most widely used vehicle for distributing business data. Yet this communication poses a considerable risk for organizations of all sizes, as both small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprises must protect their intellectual property and sensitive information from inappropriate distribution while also ensuring compliance with new laws governing the protection of confidential information.

SonicWall™ Email Compliance and Encryption subscription services work with the SonicWall Email Security solution to provide organizations of all sizes with a powerful framework for stopping email threats, managing compliance requirements, and providing mobile-ready secure email exchange.

SonicWall Email Security is available as an appliance, a virtual appliance or Windows Server® software. The solution combines an awardwinning, anti-spam engine with antiphishing, anti-virus, content filtering and policy management.

Adding Email Compliance and Encryption subscription services to the Email Security solution enables organizations to meet both regulatory and corporate requirements. The joint solution enables organizations to identify email for compliance policy enforcement; apply multiple email governance policies; monitor and report on email traffic; and ensure the secure exchange of sensitive and confidential information.

Features:

• Record ID matching - Searches for predefined social security numbers, bank routing numbers or credit card numbers. An easy-to-use, web-based UI enables custom record searches.

• Email archiving - Allows for inbound and outbound email archiving on the same server or appliance. Additionally, organizations can route email that matches a specific policy to an external archive.

• Compliance reporting - Enables organizations to monitor and report on compliance-related email traffic.

Administration:

The Email Security administrative interface is web-based to enable centralized management. This makes it easy to create inbound and outbound policies for regulatory and corporate compliance on just one screen.

From a single screen, SonicWall Email Security allows the administrator to:

1. Select the component of the email to be searched and the attribute that indicates a policy violation.
2. Determine the enforcement action that should be taken if the attribute is found.
3. Choose the groups to which the policy should be applied.

Service Overview:

The SonicWall Email Compliance and Encryption subscription service provides integrated, policy-enforced and on-demand email encryption. With this service, policies may be configured to scan outbound email content and attachments for sensitive data and, if found, securely route sensitive email for encryption and secure exchange with customers and partners.

Encrypted email can be tracked to confirm the time of receipt and time opened. A notification email is then delivered to the recipient’s inbox with easy-to-follow instructions to log on to a secure portal to read or securely download the email. The service is cloud-based; no additional client software is required. Unlike competitive solutions, SonicWall subscription services allow encrypted email to be accessed and read from mobile devices and laptops.
