Encrypted email in the cloud

In a perfect world, email can only be read by the user the email was intended for.

In the real world however, things are a bit different. Although email can easily be encrypted, most email is not. Roughly speaking there are two ways email can be leaked: it can be read in transit (i.e., when sent over the Internet), or it can be read at rest (i.e., after the email is stored).

Email is only briefly in transit. Once an email has reached its destination, it is no longer in transit. An email is however stored until it is deleted (and even then there will probably be a backup somewhere). It is therefore more likely that an email gets leaked after storage and not during transmission (for example, if your account gets hacked, the hacker can read all your email).

So even if your email is transmitted in plain text, encrypting the email before storing it will be very helpful to protect yourself against some hacker trying to break into your mailbox (or to protect yourself against Gmail for scanning your email for targeted ads).

Kyocera Intelligence can show you how you can store all incoming email in encrypted form on an external mail server with our secure gateway, even if an incoming email is not encrypted.

You will still be able read your email online. The browser extension will locally decrypt the email when the email is opened. We create a remote encrypted backup.
