(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 15, 2012 ) Bowling Green, KY -- Every day brings news of hackers intercepting important emails and stealing information. Businesses fail, identities are stolen, and classified information falls into the wrong hands. This has become so common that most people have begun to turn a deaf ear to the situation.
This is absolutely the wrong thing to do, especially when one considers what an important role email plays in business in the new millennium. Nearly 10 billion emails are sent daily. This is just an estimated figure released by a think tank in 2010. The report they released also stated that this figure could actually be closer to 15 billion. Of this large figure, 80% of these emails are sent in the course of business.
File transfers, payment information, product schematics are all sent by email on a regular basis. Interception of this information could destroy a business and their clients. Medical information is often transmitted over email, and these files contain personal information that could be used to steal an identity.
The truth is, email interception is real, and criminals can intercept an email, scan the info, and send it to its intended destination with only a few milliseconds interruption. Milliseconds!
This can all be prevented from using email encryption software. Email encryption software, like that offered by Zixmail, will protect all email that leaves your business. Recipients are notified of an encrypted email and provided a key code to access the mail in a separate notification. This allows only the person the information was intended for to receive the mail.
An email encryption service will allow you to comply with all HIPAA regulations for medical records and all regulations concerning the transfer of financial information for banks and other financial institutions. It will provide security for any type of business that uses email on a regular basis.
