ECRYPT ONE EMAIL MANAGEMENT
COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
Product / Core Feature(s) / Ecrypt One ComparisonFireEye / Email Threat Detection
This is anti-virus program wrapped in fancy language. It has the same issues as all anti-virus software: it needs to have signatures of the virus in order to detect it. / Ecrypt One integrates with most anti-virus programs and could use FireEye if the client desired.
Ecrypt One is a full email server, not just an anti-virus package.
Ecrypt One’s strength is it has a varied white-listing approach.You only get email from those you trust. Anti-virus integration is available within Ecrypt One but Ecrypt One doesn’t rely on it – by accepting email only from those you trust and for any others, Ecrypt One kills the virus threat vectors.Ecrypt One knocks out the viral paths that traditionally led to your organization.
Proofpoint / Email Threat Detection as well as Domain Reputation. This is a front-end service.
This is anti-virus plus a little bit of reputation validation: Domain Reputation. They classify email with a combination of rules, including reputation of email domains. / Ecrypt One is a full email server, not just an anti-virus package.
Ecrypt One’s strength is explicit domain trust using rules. Ecrypt One also has a range of trust options: rules can classify how much trust to put in each domain (disallow, allow message but not attachments, convert attachments to benign PDF) and also provides explicit control of external parties, including sandboxing interaction through a controlled portal.
Cisco / Cisco Email Security
This is hosted anti-virus. / See the response to FireEye
IBM / IBM Security (for email)
Hosted email security features: anti-virus, anti-spam and content control
IBM Email & Calendar
“Connections and Verse”
Enterprise-grade email. Very low traction. / Ecrypt One integrates with anti-spam and anti-virus.
Ecrypt One’s strength is content control using its rules system. It has significant content detection and control as well as an extensible filter framework to allow customers to extend its detection to domain-specific searching.
Microsoft / Microsoft Exchange Online Security
Hosted anti-spam, anti-virus, separate delivery pools for segregated message delivery by domain reputation
Microsoft Exchange
On-premises email server. The world’s most popular email server. Enterprise-class organizations only – it’s requires significant IT support.
Microsoft Office 365
Hosted Microsoft Exchange. Very popular. All your data is stored in the cloud, which can be a concern for some types of organizations. / Exchange/Office 365 has a very good app store for add-ons. However, they do notdo white-listing and/or incorporate controlled interaction with third parties like Ecrypt One does.
Symantec / Symantec Email Security.cloud
Big-name Anti-virus.
Employs some DLP (Data Lost Prevention) technology. / Ecrypt One can integrate with Symantec through anti-virus plug-ins.
Ecrypt One is an email server whereas Symantec is a security add-on for an email server.
Ecrypt One has some DLP (Data Loss Prevention) capabilities: the rules engine and group partitioning as well as the portal for external parties allow IT to control access to valued data and intellectual property.
Optiv / Security Technology Service Provider
Very deep cyber security services provider. Very heavy on services and training, management services, etc.
Third Party Risk Management – helps you keep track of interactions with third parties.
Not an email service provider, not anti-virus. / Ecrypt One has inherent third party risk management in is handling of email from external entities.
Optiv’s technologies and services wouldn’t really be a competitor but maybe something commonly useful to our target audience.
