EdgeWave Email Encryption
EdgeWave Email encryption assures the secure delivery of email to your customers, vendors, partners and other individuals, with next-generation technology that eliminates the cost and complexity associated with many traditional encryption services. As a completely hosted service, there is no hardware or software to implement and encryption can be easily enabled on a per user basis or as part of an automated routing policy. In addition, because it is integrated into our Hosted Email Security and Data Loss Protection services, your outgoing email is inspected for malware, viruses, inappropriate content, compliance breaches and violations of your corporate acceptable use policy (AUP) – a more multi-layered defense than a solo encryption service can offer. As part of our comprehensive suite of secure messaging solutions, EdgeWave Encryption Service is the most cost-effective way to assure the confidentiality and secure delivery of private and sensitive communications leaving your network.

TLS Server-to-Server Encryption
TLS is a delivery method that encrypts communications between two email servers by first having each mail server authenticate to the other, making it harder to send spoofed email. Then, the contents of the emails sent between the two servers are encrypted, protecting them while in transit. The encryption itself remains totally transparent to both sender and recipient.
Park and Pull Encryption Services
EdgeWave Encryption Service includes park and pull technology designed to provide secure communication between the sender and the recipient of messages, even individuals outside and unrelated to your organization. All emails using encryption can be routed based on a variety of rules leveraging EdgeWave's email filtering technology. Park and pull encryption is enhanced by EdgeWave DLP so that encryption can be triggered by DLP violations. Unlike end-to-end encryption, the park and pull technique does not require the installation of any software by the sender, recipient or on the email hosts of either. Nor does it require an encryption key to deliver the email.
How Park and Pull Encryption Works
- The message originator sends an email that is designated to be encrypted whether automatic per rules or manual per user.
- Encrypted sent messages are stored on EdgeWave's secured encrypted message portal
- A notification message is sent to all recipients containing a link that takes the recipient to the secured Web page where the message can be viewed and other actions taken.
- Recipients are identified by registering just once, after which they have a secured portal and can take action to read, reply, delete, forward, create, recall, save or print.
Reporting

All emails using encryption can be routed based on a variety of rules leveraging EdgeWave's email filtering technology. Park and pull encryption is enhanced by EdgeWave DLP so that encryption can be triggered by DLP violations. Once an email is routed for encryption, EdgeWave stores it securely in our Encryption Portal and notifies the recipient, who then registers and retrieves the email for further action. Unlike end-to-end encryption, the park and pull technique does not require the installation of any software by the sender, recipient or on the email hosts of either. Nor does it require an encryption key to deliver the email. Security is assured by holding the email messages in a protected webmail interface until the recipient accesses them.

The message originator sends an email that is designated to be encrypted whether automatic per rules or manual per user. These encrypted
sent messages are stored on EdgeWave's secured encrypted message portal and delivered to the recipient with an HTTPS page on the Web.
