Comodo's Free Secure Email Digitally Signs And Encrypts Emails For Optimum Security
2008-08-22
Comodo SecureEmail is available for download and can be used to automatically
encrypt and sign all outgoing messages
Jersey City, NJ, August 21, 2008 - Comodo, a leading Certification
Authority and Internet security company, announced today the availability of
version 1.0 of SecureEmail. Comodo SecureEmail employs well-established, de
facto industry standard, PKI-based solutions/technologies that enable encryption
and digital signature of outgoing emails, assuring recipients that the email has
not been tampered with during transmission. Comodo's solution can be deployed
with either Comodo or third party SSL Certificates.
Email is one of the most vulnerable systems to attack. Comodo SecureEmail is the
install-and-forget application that can automatically encrypt and sign all
messages. Featuring full integration with Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird
and other S/MIME-capable email clients, it includes a built-in wizard that
allows users to easily download and setup a free Comodo email certificate. This
helps automate the digital certificate acquisition, distribution, signature and
encryption processes, freely building a secure email community. COMODO
SecureEmail also helps companies further their compliance with HIPAA, SOX, GLBA,
PCI and the UK Data Protection Act.
Version 1.0 of Comodo SecureEmail comes in either regular or Pro edition, which
are both free. Those using SecureEmail Pro can integrate their secure email with
third party certificates. The application also can address difficult or
hard-to-remember processes such as public-key exchange. Network administrators
looking to implement total client-to-client email security can use Comodo
SecureEmail as a complement to any existing gateway encryption process.
Comodo offers this solution free to help accelerate market adoption of the
practice of signing and encrypting email communications to protect users from
the inherent vulnerability of sending email over the Internet. The general
public has slowly adopted S/MIME certificates, largely because setting up and
maintaining a secure email system has traditionally been too complex for most
users. To avoid the complicated public key exchange process normally needed for
securing and signing email, Comodo SecureEmail automatically generates a unique,
'single-use' session certificate to encrypt outgoing emails to recipients
whenever an email certificate is not present on the system. Comodo's built-in
wizard allows users to easily download and setup a free Comodo email certificate
as well.
Comodo SecureEmail addresses this complexity issue and, once installed, the
application will automatically monitor all incoming and outgoing mails.
Other key features include:
- Available in 32 bit and 64 bit versions for Windows XP and Window Vista
- Innovative session certificate:
To avoid the complicated public key exchange process normally needed for
securing and signing email, Comodo SecureEmail automatically generates a unique,
'single-use' session certificate to encrypt outgoing emails to recipients
whenever an email certificate is not present on the system.
- Whole journey encryption:
Many corporations use an email gateway that encrypts messages as they leave the
corporate perimeter. The problem with this approach is that it leaves internal
mail completely unprotected and vulnerable to malware, packet sniffing and
malicious insiders. Mail that is heading from the network towards the gateway is
similarly vulnerable. The only way to completely secure email traffic is to
implement client-to-client encryption. Comodo SecureEmail fills this potential
security hole by providing whole journey encryption from sender's mail client to
recipient's mail client.
- Automatic certificate exchange, installation and updates:
SecureEmail's notification system ensures that both sender and recipient are
updated with each others certificates. SecureEmail also automatically imports
all relevant mail settings for major email clients to ensure the fastest
possible set-up time.
- Built in wizard for easy sign-up and installation of a Comodo Free email
Certificate.
"SecureEmail is another addition to Comodo's portfolio of desktop security
solutions," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo.
"We create solutions that enable people to communicate, collaborate and access
the Internet confidently. We continue to innovate with SecureEmail, a worthy
addition to our award-winning free solutions."
