Centralized Automatic Email Encryption and Signature with a Gateway

Z1 SecureMail Gateway comes as a virtual email encryption appliance which integrates seamlessly into an existing email infrastructure. As an SMTP proxy it processes the entire company-wide email traffic. The Z1 SecureMail Gateway operates as a virtual mail room – processing incoming and preparing outgoing mail. It encrypts and signs outgoing mail whilst decrypting and validating the signature of incoming items. Suspicious emails are automatically blocked and the internal recipient informed. The complete email processing is performed according to ‘Z1 Policies’ which can be fully configured using the web-based administration interface. Z1 SecureMail Gateway works silently and transparently in the background. Sending and receiving emails remains the same for employees.

Automated email certificate management with CertMagic®

Automated certificate procurement as subscription

Z1 SecureMail contains technical interfaces to various recognized, certified trust centers. The procurement of your own employee certificates is easy and very competitively priced. Z1 SecureMail ONE always includes certificates from SwissSign for all users. We also recommend a certificate subscription for individual offers for Z1 SecureMail Gateway. Similar to a flat rate, you have absolute cost transparency with maximum flexibility. You are not charged for each individual certificate issued, but for a fixed number of certificates. It is not the number of certificates issued that counts, but the number of certificates active at the same time. Compared to individual billing, you save money on erroneous issues and employee fluctuation.

We automate certificate exchange for you

The real challenge with email encryption and signing is the exchange of certificates with the communication partners. The certificates contain the public keys that are used for encryption and signature verification. Zertificon is the creator and operator of Z1 Global TrustPoint, the independent certificate search engine on the Internet. Here your certificates can be found by others. You can find the certificates of your communication partners there. Your Z1 SecureMail is connected to the Z1 Global TrustPoint and automates the exchange of certificates in real time. This is an important component that allows you to experience CertMagic® with up to 80% savings in certificate management effort.

OpenPGP key management

OpenPGP does not recognize any official certification authorities. Therefore, the handling of public OpenPGP keys cannot be completely automated. However, with Z1 SecureMail you can manage the process easily.

Automate and manage OpenPGP keys

Z1 SecureMail contains an OpenPGP key generator. This allows you to automatically issue OpenPGP keys for all employees. These are published on the Z1 Global TrustPoint so that your communication partners can easily find and validate them. It is also possible to import existing OpenPGP keys.

Root Signer Key simplifies the trust process

Z1 SecureMail provides you with a root signer key for OpenPGP, which is used to sign all keys created on your Z1 SecureMail system. Agree with your business partners that they will import your OpenPGP keys and thus automatically accept your OpenPGP keys. On the other hand, you can also import third-party root keys into your Z1 SecureMail and thus simplify the trust process. This makes email encryption for companies very efficient, even with OpenPGP.

Spontaneous email encryption without certificates with Z1 SecureMail (formerly Z1 SecureMail Messenger)

Z1 SecureMail provides encryption with passwords for email exchange with communication partners such as end customers and business partners who do not have certificates.

Send secure webmail or emails as an encrypted PDF

With Z1 SecureMail ONE you will have a secure webmailer. You send emails as usual via your mail program. If no keys are found for the recipients, Z1 SecureMail delivers emails via a secure web portal. With Z1 SecureMail Gateway delivery as encrypted PDF is also an option. A function for encrypted replies is always included.

Intuitive user guidance in your corporate design

You can customize the web interface of your Z1 SecureMail directly in the administration interface without any programming knowledge. Upload your logo and set the color values to match your corporate design.

Language selection for secure webmail and notifications

Z1 SecureMail is delivered with German and English language for the user interface of the secure webmailer and the notification emails. Other languages are available on request via Zertificon and can alternatively be added directly via the web-based administration interface (other languages are currently not available in the Z1 SecureMail ONE offer).
