Improved S/MIME Installation and Management for the Enterprise
Attacks like Business Email Compromise (BEC) or other spear phishing schemes take advantage of the inherently spoofable nature of email to trick employees into taking action that the spear phishers can exploit. Regulations such as HIPAA/HITECH, GDPR, and the U.S. federal government’s DFARS may require email encryption to maintain compliance or to minimize the consequences of a breach.
S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) using Sectigo certificates address these problems that are inherent to the email technology paradigm and improve protection against spying or social engineering attacks that depend on email in three ways:
- Authentication of sender
- Encryption of email content and attachments
- Assurance of integrity
Read this white paper to learn about Sectigo’s innovative Zero-Touch deployment capability for S/MIME email certificates. Sectigo’s architecture makes it possible for your IT team to deploy and maintain email certificates for employees without requiring action from the end users.
