Unprotected data exchanged or stored at a company may reveal confidential information to unauthorized users, internal and external. Businesses need a way to exchange secure data with branch offices, vendors, and business partners to stay competitive and protected. McAfee E-Business Server uses PGP encryption technology to protect data everywhere it is accessed by users, allowing full control of who has access to what information. Information and data can now be exchanged securely with automated protection within applications, file transfers, transaction processes, and email, using the strength of PGP encryption. As with any security implementation, safekeeping your data is only as secure as your weakest link. It is common knowledge that most hacker attacks come from inside the corporation. Therefore, it is imperative that data is encrypted, both when it is transferred electronically and when it is stored, to prevent unauthorized access. McAfee E-Business Server protects data as it is transferred and stored locally, so that only authorized personnel can access it. Encrypted data is protected from unauthorized access and in the event of a security breach, including an exploitation of Web server vulnerabilities. In addition, applications using APIs to call encryption are more easily maintained over time because the development skills required are widely available. McAfee E-Business Server and its Native APIs complement SSL encryption and extend the protection of encryption to internal processing and storage.
