It is impossible to imagine today's working world without e-mail as a communication channel. But without encryption, e-mails are just as easy to read as postcards. And since there is always the possibility that emails are intercepted during transmission, it should at least be ensured that unauthorised third parties cannot simply read their content.

Therefore, you should consistently encrypt your e-mail communication in order to prevent the unintentional outflow of data and to protect your electronic correspondence with customers and business partners. EnBITCon GmbH supports you not only with its many years of expertise, but also with the right technological solutions: The S/MIME email certificates!

What is S/MIME?

S/MIME stands for Secure / Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. It is the worldwide established standard for the encryption of e-mails - based on a hybrid cryptosystem. The use of S/MIME requires corresponding certificates with which the contents of an e-mail can be reliably encrypted by the sender and then decrypted again exclusively by the authorised recipient.

With the complete package from EnBITCon GmbH, you leave nothing to chance. We create the certificate requirements for you, coordinate with the certification authority and implement your new certificates on your end devices.
