So You Really Think Your Email is Private?

Complimentary Webinar on December 8th Explores the Facts and Fiction of Email Encryption, and Demonstrates Just How Easily Your Emails Can Be Exploited For Malice and Profit

Boca Raton, Fla., November 30, 2010 – Email communications are inherently risky, and information transmitted by email, including sensitive data and business-critical transactions, is more vulnerable than most users realize.

Using a variety of smartphones for both their business and personal communications, executives and professionals regularly share confidential information over highly risky channels. Most are willing to sacrifice email security and information privacy for the benefits of speed and convenience—which can have disastrous consequences for their clients, customers, patients, employees and other stakeholders.

In a compelling webcast on December 8, SECNAP^® Network Security chief technology officer, Michael Scheidell, will explore the facts and fiction of email encryption, review the types of encryption protocols, and demonstrate just how easy it is to intercept and read email messages and their attachments. A recognized information security and encryption expert, Scheidell has won numerous awards for the development of ground-breaking security technologies such as Rule18^TM email encryption.

“The fact is that anyone with access to a switch, router or hub between your outbox and your recipient's inbox can read your unprotected email,” said Scheidell. “That could be your Information Technology guy, or it could be hackers. To ensure information privacy, it’s vital that all parts of an email and its attachments be encrypted from Point A to Point B. And that encryption has to work on the full range of smartphones, too.”

A growing body of regulation in the United States requires organizations to safeguard personally identifiable information (PII), and specific email encryption requirements are now included in HITECH, HIPAA and GLBA regulations. At least two states have also mandated encryption as a privacy measure.

“Encryption of transactional emails will become the new standard in this decade, the same way spam protection became standard operating procedure in the previous one,” said Scheidell.

If you or your organization transmits sensitive information via email, you can’t afford to miss this webcast, sponsored by the EC-Council Security Channel. Tune in at 9am Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, December 8, 2010.  Register here with our compliments.
