1.4 Always Secure

GroupWise provides extensive security measures to protect your information:

  • Native GroupWise Encryption: To protect your information as it is stored in the various GroupWise databases and moved across the network, GroupWise automatically encrypts the information. Each piece of information is encrypted differently through the use of randomly generated encryption keys.

  • Open Security Standards: To further ensure that your information is secure while moving across your internal network and across the Internet, GroupWise supports open security standards such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Transport Layer Security (TLS).

  • Spam Protection: To protect you from seeing unwanted messages, the GroupWise client includes a Junk Mail Handling feature that lets you control unwanted Internet email messages. In addition, you can configure the GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA) to reject messages from known open relay hosts and spam hosts. GroupWise also works with partner products that provide additional anti-spam solutions.

  • Virus Protection: GroupWise works with partner products to provide solutions that detect and eliminate viruses.
