Description:

Enterprises routinely exchange sensitive customer information or intellectual property with branch offices, vendors, and business partners. Everyone involved involved needs to keep confidential data and applications safe and secure.

Give your users data encryption and transmission tools right at their desktops with McAfee E-Business Client. It lets users protect sensitive information without technical training. Just use E-Business Client's drag-and-drop tool to encrypt, decrypt, and verify your documents. Afterwards, you can send them to or receive them from any McAfee E-Business Server.

Because E-Business Client uses Microsoft FTP and SMTP, your file transfer takes place automatically. You and your business partners can even add logos to documents for branding and identification. All of your transactions and confirmations are logged to help your organization meet industry or legal compliance requirements.

E-Business Client gives you tamperproof data security. It automatically generates public keys (known to all users) for encryption and private keys (known only to recipients) for decryption. It is impossible to crack the private-key code even if the public key is known. Trusted, industry-standard PGP encryption automatically safeguards your corporate data within applications and e-mail and during file transfers and transaction processing. PGP 128-bit encryption incorporates the industry's strongest encryption algorithms. With E-Business Client, you can transfer data securely over the Internet. And with built-in compression, you can encrypt files larger than 4 GB to conserve bandwidth, reduce transfer costs, and use your storage space more efficiently.
