Secure Email

I haven't received a response from the professor yet because I sent the email so late this evening, but I am determined to finish as much as possible tonight.

I found an interesting article that talked about the new need for email security in publicly traded companies. Ever since the passing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 all publicly traded companies have been beat down by the government in every way imaginable. One of the ways that our politicians felt that they could leach a little more money out of the cooperations was by mandating the use of secure email. All publicly traded cooperations with a market cap of 75million or more have to comply with this new increase in the standards in relation to the email. Sarbanes-Oxley has guidelines for all electronic security in the cooperations including secure, and encrypted emails.

The web site that I found was suggesting the use of a particular program to conform to the regulations, and talked about the other aspects of electronic security that should also be addressed along with the secured email service.
