Abstract
The concepts for secure e-mail are available for quite some time. Nevertheless only few users have adopted them.
The classical concept of end-to-end e-mail security provides maximum theoretical security. But the effort to implement and enforce it at every client has limited the spreading of security and therefore the overall benefit.
Centralized e-mail security overcomes this problem. A gateway between internal and public network provides security where it is needed — in the internet.
This presentation reflects aspects like standards, integration, security policy, central virus detection, implementation efforts, and key-recovery as well as business requirements like reduced administration costs and optimized workflow.
