StarForce Email is a digital rights management (DRM) solution developed by StarForce Technologies for protecting email messages and their attachments. It is designed to prevent unauthorized access, forwarding, copying, and distribution of email content after it has been sent. The solution applies protection mechanisms to outgoing emails, ensuring that access and usage are controlled according to defined security policies. Protected messages can require recipient authentication and may enforce restrictions such as blocking forwarding, limiting copying, preventing printing, or restricting access to specific devices. StarForce Email enables organizations to maintain control over sensitive communication beyond the corporate network. Protection remains active even after the email reaches external recipients, helping to reduce the risk of data leakage and unauthorized redistribution. The system integrates with email workflows and combines encryption, authentication, and policy enforcement to provide controlled communication for confidential business information.
