Secure Email Communications with TLS Encryption

Although email is a key communications tool, it still involves risks and relies on insecure transport protocols. Intellectual property or other sensitive information such as contracts, transactions, social security numbers, birthdates, credit card numbers and bank account numbers may be intercepted and then read, deleted or altered before the email reaches its intended destination. Organizations can find additional security and privacy assurance by implementing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption and authentication protocol.

TLS is a variation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol that is used to protect Web traffic. Using TLS to encrypt communications between two email gateways has a number of security benefits. First, each mail server authenticates to the other, making it harder to send spoofed email. Second, the contents of the emails sent between the two servers are encrypted, protecting them while in transit. Finally, the encryption of the conversation between the two hosts makes it exceedingly difficult for an attacker to tamper with the email’s contents.

Red Condor’s TLS Encryption feature (now available at no charge) ensures the complete confidentiality of email communications and all the information they contain. It works by establishing private email networks linking our users with their critical partners through the use of certificates. Every single email sent or received by these networks is fully and securely encrypted, while the encryption itself remains totally transparent to both sender and recipient.

TLS Encryption is available with both Red Condor’s Network Appliance and Hosted Service at no additional charge.

Key benefits of TLS Encryption include:

• Secure email passage between sender and recipient networks
• Total data security with full compliance with privacy regulations
• Protection of the confidentiality of every part of every email message sent and received
• No effect on end users and no complicated message retrieval procedures needed
• The configuration flexibility you need with simplicity and ease of use
