In the past couple of years we have heard over and over again how a leaked email got out and into the open concerning some internal information of a company that eventually led to its downfall. Even the blogosphere sometimes relies on leaked emails to verify rumors of new products, unannounced acquisitions and the like.

Sometimes this sort of information is not meant to be released or known to the public beforehand. Email security is governed by various rulings and laws that have been into place, and if one fails to meet these regulatory requirements well it could mean as much as a prison term. The governing bodies that take care of these regulations are the HIPAA, GLBA and SOX. Organizations have to comply with these email compliance terms to avoid any sort of prosecution.

One solution from Borderware called MXtreme Firewall protects email systems and ensures confidentiality, integrity and privacy of your emails. The last thing you want a business of any size, even bloggers, is for your emails to get compromised and attacked by malicious activity.

I see a fit for these types of security solutions to basically everybody who uses email as a major form of communication. From the large corporations to the online business owner. Everything you send electronically is something you said and whatever you say can be used against you in a court, if it comes to that. Just with emails it is in hard print so if you are not secure there, well good luck.

They have been awarded the best of by Secure Magazine for 2006. Though personally if there is something in an email of the nature and scope of the Enron Scandal, MCI and Tyco maybe it wouldn’t be too bad for these types of emails to be compromised.
