Encrypted Email
S/MIME provides message integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation (using X.509certificates) and protection against message interception. S/MIME employs public key encryption (PKI) for signing and encryption. Email which is encrypted and/or digitally signed by Encrypt Fortress Mail can be read in Outlook, Thunderbird and almost any other mail client, provided the user has the proper e-mail certificates installed. Certificates are automatically imported from incoming email, and you can send (sign) emails with one button, and the Encrypt Fortress Mail system will automatically start the S/MIME Encryption with those recipients.
Encrypt Fortress Mail makes S/MIME very easy to use, but PDF encryption offers a light-weight alternative. When you just need to exchange secure email once, or a few emails over a longer period, or need to force the recipient to receive encrypted email, PDF encryption in Encrypt Fortress Mail is a perfect solution. You can have Encrypt Fortress Mail convert outgoing email—including all attachments—to a password encrypted PDF document using AES-128. Encrypted with a 116 bit or more, all passwords are generated using a One Time Password (OTP) algorithm.
The password is then obtained by secure portal log-in. By using a separate channel for sending passwords, PDF encryption is almost as secure as full S/MIME encryption, and our OTP 116 bit or more passwords are strong enough to withstand a brute force attack. PDF encryption in Encrypt Fortress Mail is easy and intuitive. There is no need to specifically guide end-users.
Encrypt Fortress Mail is its own certificate authority enabling complete protection, but is also compatible with any pre-existing CA server (like Microsoft CA or EJBCA). Compatibility extends to any pre-existing CA server with certificates from external noncommercial Certificate Authorities and commercial (CAs) like Comodo, Verisign, and CACert. Alternatively, Encrypt Fortress Mail CA server allows Encrypt Fortress Mail to create certificates for internal and external users. Certificates can be transported to external recipients in a password secured format. Installation of the certificate in the recipient's mail client is direct. This allows you create your own private PKI with external recipients.

Encrypt Fortress Umbra is packed with amazing features. You get one-on-one and group video calling, text and picture messaging, screen sharing, free voice calling, and more while all staying completely encrypted with almost no extra effort.
We needed to rethink our digital communications strategy and switch to a secure messaging program. Members of our company were all using different platforms such as Skype, SnapChat, Facebook Chat, WhatsApp, or Google Chat. As part of a campaign to find "Secure and usable crypto," we evaluated 29 messaging products ranging from chat clients, text messaging apps, email applications, and voice and video call tools to find what would work for all our employees to unify them. In the end, it was the features and Ease of use to stay secure in Encrypt Fortress Umbra and messaging that made us switch.
