E-mail system has gradually become one of the main means of office contact and business communication among the staff of party and government organs, institutions and state-owned enterprises.

At present, in order to maintain interconnection, the mail system transceiver port deployed is often the network port connecting the unit intranet and the Internet, so it has become the focus of attention of lawbreakers and the main target of network intrusion. In addition, as the main tool of business contact, the mail system stores a large amount of sensitive information due to the lack of security awareness of users. Once attacked, the harm will be serious. Although the self-built or purchased enterprise-level mail system has certain basic security protection functions such as anti-spam, anti-virus and content filtering, but the use of mail system loopholes, mailbox theft, violent cracking, phishing and other means to attack the e-mail system, network intrusion, secret theft, control has become a prominent issue affecting the network security, business security, and even national political and economic security of their own units and departments.

From the problem of email leakage in recent years, it has caused a series of problems. For example, Hillary Clinton's email door, the incident in which Huawei was detained and sued by Meng Wanzhou in 2012 and 2013 because the content of the email was obtained and used by others.

The security of the email is nothing more than the security of the content of the email, except that the sender and receiver can view it without being seen by others, even if the email is intercepted, lawbreakers cannot interpret it.

Because of this, how important is the security of mail, and how to make it so-called security in the process of sending mail?

In fact, the current email content encryption technology has been very mature, but because the mailbox systems built by mail operators and enterprises need to be upgraded to add this function, most products are encrypted and decrypted on the mail server or client, which is bound to cause high upgrade and maintenance costs, so many enterprises automatically give up. However, according to my understanding of many products, "Secret Mail" handles mail security in the form of mail security encryption gateway, so that the mail security function can be embedded without modifying the existing mail system. It uses identity-based cryptography to protect randomly generated symmetric passwords, and uses keys to encrypt email contents, which makes up for the problem of efficiency and solves the security problem of keys. It is relatively used, and it is in the form of a mail gateway, so that even individual Internet users can rest assured to use it. It uses a transparent mail encryption mechanism, does not retain mail content on the secret mail platform, and the most important thing is now free. If you are interested, you can find out.

Email security is a long-standing problem, only early prevention will not cause a series of unknown consequences.

You still need to pay attention to all aspects of things when using email, and when you don't have time to think about it, you need a transparent email security system to help you manage and protect your email.
