IronMail Encryption Capabilities: Encryption for Everyone


While few will debate the value of encrypting messages that contain sensitive information, many security officers have resisted installing an encryption solution on their enterprise e-mail network due to the multiple incompatible technologies available, difficulty in communicating encryption requirements to end users, and challenges of getting end users to enforce the corporate policies.

IronMail solves these problems with an integrated encryption solution that makes the necessary decisions to enforce the policies without requiring end-users to take any action.

IronMail's Policy Engine determines which communications need to be encrypted, and automatically chooses the most appropriate encryption technology based upon the recipient's technological capabilities


Powerful Policy Engine

Leveraging CipherTrust’s world-class policy engine, IronMail allows detailed policies to be enforced, making encryption decisions based upon hundreds of different attributes, including sender, recipient, content, domain, groups, attachments, and more. By removing end users from the decision-making process, IronMail ensures that the messages that require encryption get it.

Multiple Encryption Options

A key challenge in encryption is adapting to the needs of the recipient. Depending on their capabilities, different types of encryption may be most appropriate. With the help of IronMail’s policy engine, IronMail can dynamically select between different encryption methodologies to best fit the situation.

IronMail can encrypt messages from gateway-to-gateway via industry standard TLS or legacy systems such as S/MIME and OpenPGP. In addition, IronMail allows recipients with no encryption capabilities to receive encrypted messages from IronMail-protected senders via a familiar Web interface. The recipient has the ability to reply securely, keeping the encryption cycle intact on all legs of a sensitive message’s journey. IronMail allows multiple encryption techniques to be used in tandem, removing any questions that may arise over conflicting technologies.

Easy Credential Set-Up

IronMail can import existing keys or generate appropriate credentials to support all encryption methods, ensuring that administrators do not have to be encryption experts.

PGP® Universal

The CipherTrust/PGP Compliance Bundle is the only hardened gateway offering to integrate powerful e-mail policy compliance and PGP Universal encryption capabilities into an easy-to-deploy and manage solution. The solution combines the market leading message scanning and policy enforcement technology within IronMail with PGP Universal’s world-class centrally managed encryption capabilities.

Voltage® Server

Through its relationship with VoltageTM, CipherTrust also offers the ability for users to have ongoing secure e-mail relationships using the Identity-Based Encryption Server.


"Our goal is to meet the standards set-forth in federal patient privacy regulations, such as HIPAA...Our IronMail appliance is able to scan the content of the e-mail messages and search for certain terms that will let us know if the e-mail needs to be encrypted."
