What have you set in an email today that you would not want others to see?
Email is an essential part of a business communication and many routinely contain sensitive and confidential information. It is estimated that over 200 billion emails are sent every day. But did you know that external emails are like virtual postcards? Once yo press send your emails bounce across the public internet, passing though many places and unknown hands before arrive at intended destination.
Anti spam virus checkers do not protect external emails. In fact, unless you protect you emails, the information they contain is vulnerable and can be viewed, copied or intercepted by others.
For many small businesses, implementing email encryption has been costly, time consuming and complicated. Secure-mail, changes that. Simple, secure and affordable, Secure-mail, is an email encryption service ideal for small to medium sized businesses. It's free t try and there's no contract to sign.
How it works
The Secure-mail hub associates public keys with email addresses. Once installed, an email sent o a recipient using Secure-mail is automatically encrypted for its journey across the Internet. When it reaches the recipient, their hub automatically decrypts the email. The encryption and decryption is performed locally by the hubs and not 3rd party which differs from some other services.

What do others think?
The sender and the recipient do not have to change the way they send or receive emails - there is nothing new to learn. If your recipient is not a Secure-mail user then the hub will not encrypt the email.
The hub is placed between your email server and your internet connection. It is a completely transparent bridge for all information except that which travels on port 25, the standard port for the email protocol SMTP.
Whenever your hub "sees" traffic on port 25 that contains your unique public key, it will automatically decrypt that email.
All other traffic passes through unnoticed and unaltered. No changes are necessary to any settings whether firewall, ISP, email server, email client, etc. It is completely plug and play.
Secure-mal uses the best possible encryption algorithms - AES (256 bit) and RAS (4096 bit). The email is encrypted rather than the communication stream, which differs from other services using TLS. These services can be vulnerable to "man-in-the-middle" attracts whereas Secure-mail is not.
The hub regularly receives software and key database updates. All updates are digitally signed and secure.
