You also have to keep in mind legal discovery issues.

However if the information being protected does not rise to this level, the expense of encrypting all email traffic is most likely not justified. Dan Jones CISO UMass Medical School From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Kevin Casey Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 2:52 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU 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?
