Google Message Encryption
Superior Protection of Critical Electronic Communications
Google Message Encryption service, powered by Postini, provides on-demand message encryption for your organization to securely communicate with business partners and customers according to security policy or on an “as needed” basis.
Without the complexity and costs associated with legacy on-premises encryption technologies, Google Message Encryption service makes encrypting email messages easy and affordable. The policy-based solution enables your organization to send encrypted email to any recipient.
Google Message Encryption service enables:
- Secure messaging between business partners, customers, or individuals without any additional software, hardware, or technical training
- Automatic enforcement of organizational email encryption policies based on individuals, groups, or specific message content
- User-initiated encryption for confidential messages to any email recipient
- Auditable protection of emails containing regulated or company proprietary information
- Centrally-managed security policies and reporting
How Google Message Encryption Works:
Google Message Encryption service secures outgoing email to the Postini data center using a secure SSL/TLS encrypted connection. At the data center, messages are scanned for viruses and messaging policy compliance.
Based on centrally managed policies, messages are encrypted for each intended recipient. Encrypted messages are either delivered directly to the recipients’ inbox or stored on a web-based portal for secure pickup.
Inbox delivery
The inbox delivery method delivers email directly to the recipients’ email application
as an encrypted attachment. Recipients can view their messages by opening the
attachment and providing their password. If the recipient does not have an existing
password, the recipient is stepped through a simple, one-time registration. No
additional software is required.

Using the secure portal delivery, email notifications are sent to intended recipients letting them know a message is waiting for them. The notification message includes a link to the portal and instructions on how to view the encrypted message using their web browser.

Clicking on the link directs recipients to the secure portal. Using the full-featured messaging console, recipients can view, reply to, and compose new messages securely.

Administrators can create rules that enable individual users to initiate secure delivery for designated messages. For example, a user can simply mark a message as “confidential” in their email client to trigger the automatic encryption.

Delivery failure notification
Google’s Message Encryption service automatically notifies the sender if the recipients do not view the encrypted messages. This provides the sender with confidence that the message delivery was successful.

Focus on What Drives Your Business
Choosing Google Apps not only saves you money, it saves incredible amounts of time.

Superior Mobile Experience
Nearly every customer of ours has found Google Apps to give their employees a better mobile experience. Thanks to the truly device-agnostic platform, employees are often suddenly able to choose their own device, rather than being given a BlackBerry or some other device tied to a corporate mobile server. At the same time, it’s no longer IT’s job to maintain these corporate devices, a task we find many IT teams happy to relinquish.

Eight Ways Google Apps Will Benefit Your Campus
Google Apps brings you the latest technologies and industry best practices for datacenter management, network application security, and data integrity.
- Students will love you for it — Schools say that when students are asked what email they’d prefer, they overwhelmingly say Gmail.
- Free up your IT — Focus your IT on activities that add value instead of worrying about the uptime of your email services.
- Easy to deploy — No software to install, no hardware to buy, just validate your MX records and create your accounts to get started.
- Save money — Outsourcing the maintenance of servers to Google frees up resources that would have been spent on additional licenses and upgrades.
- Google protects your privacy — Google’s business is built on users’ trust: trust in their ability to properly secure your data and their commitment to respect the privacy of the information you place in their systems by not giving that information to others or using it inappropriately.
- Security as powerful as Google — The security that is provided to Google Apps customers is the same security that Google relies on to protect www.google.com. In addition, Google’s entire organization runs on Google Apps.
- Innovation in real-time — What better way to prepare your students for the newest technology in the workplace, than by giving it to them as a part of their education?
- Collaborate globally — Google Docs, our word processing application, doesn’t just give you access to the same document, it actually allow students to work on the same document at the same time from anywhere in the world.
