LSNTAP webinar: Email communication was never conceived to be the center of our digital lives, hence it wasn’t created with security in mind. Today it is an essential part of business communication. Everyday sensitive and confidential information traverses the Internet and other unsecured networks where it may be intercepted or read.

Microsoft Office 365 service has been improved by providing multiple methods to encrypt your email, including OME (Office Message Encryption), S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail), IRM (Information Rights Management) and TLS (Transport Layer Security).
+
All of these tools ensure your messages are only seen by the intended recipient. In this session, we will take a high-level look at these technologies and provide an in-depth look at the OME method which can help ensure the privacy of mail transmission.

Presenter: Rajesh Shah – Just Tech
