123Together.com Helps SMBs Guard Against Identity Theft with Hosted Email Encryption Cloud Service

- 123Together.com's Automated Email Encryption Service Ensures Small Businesses Can Quickly and Easily Comply with Government Regulations and Company-Based Email Security Policies for a Small Monthly Fee. -

WALTHAM, Mass., April 27 -- 123Together.com - a mindSHIFT Technologies company and the leading provider of hosted, cloud-based email and business collaboration services - today announced the immediate availability of its hosted email encryption service for small and mid-size businesses.  This automated, online email encryption service eliminates the theft of personal or sensitive information from a business' outbound email.

"The financial liability on any company that fails to secure their customers' personal information is significant and grows every day as more legislation is put in place to protect people from identity theft," said William Flynn, Senior Executive Officer for 123Together.com. "This cloud-based email encryption service, combined with our hosted Exchange email service and premium spam and virus protection, provides a comprehensive, best-in-class electronic data protection solution. These services ensure the security and availability of all corporate and customer data for a price that small businesses can easily afford."

One-third (33%) of U.S. businesses have been impacted by the improper exposure or theft of customer information, according to a recent survey by Osterman Research, a leading market research firm.  A recently passed Massachusetts law, 201 CMR 17.00, regulates how companies must maintain, receive, store, or process the personal data of residents of the Commonwealth. This is just one of many laws which governs the handling of sensitive electronic data and imposes stiff financial penalties for non-compliance.

123Together.com's highly secure hosted email encryption service protects businesses from the theft of sensitive and confidential information - including  financial data, social security numbers, computer passwords, medical records, bank account numbers, legal documents and other personal information  -- often contained in email messages.

The benefits of 123Together.com's cloud-based email encryption service include:

  --  Ease of use. No technical skill is needed. Encryption is assigned
      automatically to each email based on the contents of the email and the
      policies assigned to each individual user.  This web-based service can
      be managed from one central online control panel via any
      internet-enabled computer at any time. Alternatively, an end user may
      choose to manually encrypt an email by including the word [encrypt] in
      the email's subject line.
  --  Reduced cost. No additional hardware or software is required and there
      are no upfront expenses or contracts to sign.  Additionally, the
      service removes the administrative overhead and costs normally
      associated with conventional encryption systems.
  --  Data security. Identity theft and data breaches can be avoided.
  --  Compliance with government regulations mandating the protection of
      personal information.

123Together.com offers hosted email encryption and all of its subscription-based business services for a small monthly, per user fee.  All customers, including IT administrators and end users, receive live 24x7 technical support at no additional cost.
