Email is one of the most ubiquitous forms of communications and is also one of themost vulnerable systems to attack. Comodo SecureEmail is the install-and-forget PKIbased application that can automatically encrypt and sign all messages. Featuringfull integration with Outlook, Thunderbird and other major mail clients, it featuresa built-in wizard that allows users to easily download and setup a free Comodo emailcertificate. Home users will benefit from the security of automatic encryption andsigning of their email while the application handles difficult or hard to rememberprocesses such as public- key exchange. Network administrators looking to implementtotal client-to-client email security can utilize Comodo SecureEmail as a complementto any existing gateway encryption process.
Comodo offers this solution free to help accelerate market adoption of the practiceof signing and encrypting email communications to protect users from the inherentvulnerability of sending email over the Internet. The market has been slow to adoptthis type of solution because setting up and maintaining a secure email system hastraditionally been too complex for most users. Comodo SecureEmail was designed toaddress this complexity issue and, once installed, the application willautomatically monitor all incoming and outgoing mails; can prompt if the userattempts to send unencrypted mail and will manage the complex key exchangeprocedure. Other key features include:
* Innovative session certificate: To avoid the complicated public key exchange process normally needed forsecuring and signing email, Comodo SecureEmail automatically generates aunique, 'single-use' session certificate to encrypt outgoing emails torecipients whenever an email certificate is not present on the system. Therecipient can then decrypt and read the mail by either installing their ownfree copy of SecureEmail or by using our online WebReader service to securelyview the message online. * Whole journey encryption: Many corporations use an email gateway that encrypts messages as they leavethe corporate perimeter. The problem with this approach is that it leavesinternal mail completely unprotected and vulnerable to malware, packetsniffing and malicious insiders. Mail that is heading from the network towardsthe gateway is similarly vulnerable. The only way to completely secure emailtraffic is to implement client-to-client encryption i.e. mail is encrypted assoon as it leaves the sender's workstation. Comodo SecureEmail fills thispotential security hole by providing whole journey encryption from sender'smail client to recipient's mail client. * Automatic certificate exchange, installation and updates: SecureEmail's notification system ensures both sender and recipient areupdated with each others certificates. SecureEmail also automatically importsall relevant mail settings to ensure the fastest possible set-up time. * Built in wizard for easy sign-up and installation of a Comodo Free emailCertificate.
