Email encryption secures delivery of email by ensuring that it is not forwarded as plain text “in the clear.” Forcepoint Email Security Cloud encrypts the transport layer protocols being used to deliver the email at the edge of the network – the point where it leaves the secure environment of the local area network.

The following encryption functionality is available:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure enterprise-to-enterprise email communications (see Transport Layer Security)
• Standard encryption rules for securing email to individuals (see Standard encryption)
• Advanced encryption rules for secure identity-based encryption (see Advanced encryption). This option requires the Email Security Encryption Module.
