To be competitive in today’s business environment, organizations must be able to communicate over the Internet with their business partners and customers in a timely and cost effective way. However, government regulations, industry best practices and increased consumer privacy concerns require messages to be transmitted in a secure manner. Securing external communications with partners and customers often has the added complexity of dealing with very large numbers of users. And unlike internal deployments, an organization has little control over the user’s computer configuration.
Most solutions require proprietary software, complicated registration processes and key exchanges or shared secrets making them costly and difficult to scale. Once deployed, these solutions are typically unable to interoperate with other secure messaging solutions.
The ability to send to anyone is a critical requirement of most organizations when dealing with their partners and customers. This means that an organization does not have to deploy client software, conduct user training or register using a complicated process or expensive support arrangement to send secure messages.
