What is Ready S/MIME?

If you’re not using S/MIME certificates, it’s probably because you’ve never heard of AEG’s Ready S/MIME. Otherwise, email security certificates are a hassle to deploy, especially at scale (500+). Your IT team needs to enroll users, get the certificate to their machine, install it and configure Outlook to use it – one workstation at a time. And these certificates need to be replaced at regular intervals. This can take up to 20% of their time. Otherwise, you could rely on your employees to download, install and configure the S/MIME certificates themselves. That goes about as well as you think it would.

Ready S/MIME solves all of that by automating the entire S/MIME lifecycle in Windows Outlook.

S/MIME Certificates - Authenticate senders, Encrypt Email

Sign and Defend

91%* of cyberattacks start with a phishing email. And these aren’t the crude phish from the early internet, they’re well-researched to impersonate partners, vendors, or even more dangerously – your own employees, executives, and owners. It’s up to you to mitigate this, and S/MIME certificates do the job. By using cryptography to digitally sign every email, the sender is authenticatd and impersonators are caught.

Encrypt and Secure

No matter where you do business, there’s some kind of law, regulation or compliance framework governing how you need to secure your data. S/MIME certificates facilitate the encryption of your email, allowing your organization to secure confidential data in-transit and at-rest. If you’re not using Secure Email certificates, you’re likely using a costly alternative to do effectively the same thing. And now with Ready S/MIME there’s no reason to keep wasting money.
