When it comes to sending e-mails, probably one of the most important things is making sure that the content is secure. Sure, some users sending friendly e-mails regarding non-important things can afford not to encrypt their e-mails, but when it comes to companies, one needs to make sure data does not leak; otherwise, the business could be compromised. Now, this is where Kryptiva comes in - the security company is offering a free solution to encrypt e-mails!

The "Kryptiva Email Encryption Architecture", that has been announced this week is intended to restore enterprise confidence in e-mail communication. Even better than the fact that it's free is that it does not meddle with the already existing network infrastructure. Encryption is important, but having to change something in the way networks function, just for this process is a bit annoying for any IT manager.

"There is no question that email encryption is still an enterprise need and a growing one, at that. But many IT administrators and security executives may forgo implementing systems because they are too expensive or their users find them difficult to use," said Michael Osterman, president, Osterman Research. "Kryptiva's infrastructure-independent architecture and compelling price point will go a long way toward alleviating IT implementation concerns, providing a way for enterprises to secure email communication."

"For years we have seen enterprises try to implement encryption technology, but fail, as the systems are costly and impact network infrastructure. As a result, enterprises choose not to encrypt, leaving their email communication at risk," said Karim Yaghmour, founder and CEO, Kryptiva. "When developing Kryptiva's Email Encryption Architecture, we took these failures into account and provided a solution that overcomes barriers and allows enterprise email to truly become secure. We've also gone a step further by combining authentication and proof of delivery to our solution in order to address more recent email problems - spam, phishing and dropped emails resulting from overzealous filters. With this integrated, patent-pending solution, Kryptiva can be the trusted email 'courier' for the enterprise, ensuring that messages are received securely."
