Cloud email security is popular because it helps make the task of compliance easier to implement than traditional alternatives.  No matter how you look at it, forcing compliance through automatic methods is usually a superior method than expecting people to ‘voluntarily comply.’ This is especially true of technology solutions.  Using a policy-based compliance enforcement system in the cloud, system administrators can stop many of the problems associated with compliance in their tracks.

Cloud email security policies put the administrator in charge, ensuring that users never ‘go out of bounds‘ when it comes to compliance.  A prime example is the use of email encryption. Using encryption for email is the ‘home run ball’ of securing your email and making sure your organization meets compliance requirements. Despite this, encryption can never work unless your system is set to automatically enforce encryption rules based on policies you set.  At MostHost, we use and resell MXSweep encryption for the simple reason that it works, is easy to implement, and will help your organization ensure compliance rapidly and permanently.  This solution integrates with your existing email, but adds all of the features you’ll need for compliance.

Let’s consider some of the reasons cloud email security is so advantageous for most organizations:

• It’s easy to implement.
• There’s no hardware to install or software to download (since this solution is SaaS).
• Plans are affordable on monthly or annual payment plans.
• Cloud email security solutions are easy to use.  MXSweep is a completely policy-based system so once your polices are set-up, you’re good to go.

If you’ve been thinking about implement cloud email security but haven’t, you should seriously consider stepping up to the next level of security.  There’s never been a better time.  In fact, if you’re in the market, you can always get a quote on Email encryption from MostHost.
