Re: Email Encryption

[Russ Leathe <Russ.Leathe () GORDON EDU>]

we have a mechinism in place that will send file attachments over an encypted link seperate from the original e-mail 
but attaches to the email seemlessly Using Outlook.  you can add a password to the encypted link for added security.



will not work in OWA so you need a client version of MS Outlook.



Hope this is helpful,

Subject: [SECURITY] Email Encryption

We've been encouraged by an outside security firm to encrypt every blessed note that passes through our Exchange 
server.  This firm deals largely with entities such as banks, and I'm wondering if this is over-kill in the context of 
higher ed.

Any thoughts regarding "best practices" on this?

Thanks,

Kevin
