Domino's Pizza is to use
Voltage Security 's
Secure-mail encryption package to protect internal and external
company e-mails.
The move is part of a corporate-wide data loss prevention
initiative to avoid accidental loss of private or proprietary
information, said Karl Anderson, network security manager for the
pizza maker.
"We realised that e-mails being sent to partners and suppliers,
such as insurance providers, may contain information like social
security numbers that must be encrypted before sending," he
said.
Domino's will encrypt e-mail between corporate headquarters in
Ann Arbor and its 17 distribution centres across the US, and
between key partners and suppliers.
Secure-mail will automatically flag e-mails with sensitive data
and encrypt them automatically prior to sending. Recipients will be
able to read protected messages without having to download and
instal client software.
Anderson said decisions about encryption will be made based on
pre-set policy, not by individuals on a one-off basis.
