Encrypted Mail Gateway from Echoworx is a policy-based managed encryption solution that provides organizations with an easy way to enforce email encryption without disrupting the day-to-day workflow of their employees.  It puts the control back in the hands of the IT department by enabling them to manage the organization's entire email infrastructure, and allows users to read their encrypted email from their desktop or mobile device. With the Echoworx-Hostway offering, all outbound emails will be monitored to ensure confidential information is encrypted before it is distributed over the Internet.

Echoworx Encrypted Mail Gateway provides the ability to associate rules with the content of outbound email to help protect enterprises from liabilities associated with privacy and data security regulations such as The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and more.
