regulations, as well as demonstrate
measurable return on investment. Egress’
commitment to people-centric data
security starts with automated document
classification and DLP tools that prevent
accidental or malicious release of sensitive
content. Risk-based Protection then ensures
that the right people receive sensitive
data and calculates the risk of a breach to
understand the right level of security to
apply. This includes Egress message-level
encryption, as well as third-party encryption
solutions, including Microsoft OME. Egress
Smart Authentication then secures and
streamlines the recipient experience,
automatically configuring an appropriate
level of authentication. Overcoming
legacy authentication approaches for ad-
hoc recipients that often result in user
dissatisfaction and customer support issues,
Smart Authentication balances risk with ease
of use. A recipient accessing highly sensitive
content from a high-risk domain, location or
device may need to use MFA, while trusted
internal users could achieve read-only access
seamlessly.
Business impacts
As well as improving security, the Egress
platform enables organizations to achieve
cost and operational efficiency. Significant
benefits can be seen from digitizing
processes such as postal and courier services,
while machine learning and intelligence
can help users make educated choices over
who to include in their communications.
Egress also helps organizations to securely
take advantage of the increased flexibility
and reduced costs provide by cloud
environments, including Office 365. Email
content and attachments can be encrypted
in transit and at rest, with real-time message
auditing and access revocation keeping
users informed and in control. Efficient
ad-hoc encrypted collaboration and user
engagement tools mean unstructured data is
shared securely and with the correct people.
