O365 and MS's encrypted mail (portal)
-
I have a client who is using O365. They need a way to send encrypted email to users who's email provider (Cox.net) does not support TLS.
MS offers several options in this regard.
OME is basically a Zix style solution, an email is sent to the recipient that an encrypted email is available for them while proving a link to a webportal where they must use some type of account to login and collect the message.
IRM is an encryption solution that also applies usage restrictions to email messages. It helps prevent sensitive information from being printed, forwarded, or copied by unauthorized people. Of course, it can't stop someone from screen printing something, so....
S/MIME - certificate based encryption.
For my needs, this is entirely to complex, so it's off the table.I'm leaning towards OME as the additional features in IRM are not required by my customer at this time.
Has anyone used OME?
Do you have any suggestions on other options for use with O365? -

Do you have any suggestions on other options for use with O365?OME Is going to send the recipient an email and then have the user will need a Microsoft account to get and collect the message.

yep - very similar to Zix, as I mentioned. IRM would be the same. Only S/MIME would deliver the message directly to the inbox of the recipient, but the hassle of setting up certs will kill that idea.

The simple answer, as we have told you many times over the years, is that they cannot send encrypted email.
They can send an encrypted payload in the email, or an email with a link to something that is encrypted, butt he email will not be encrytped.
Ever.

You clearly ASKED FOR ENCRYPTED EMAIL.
So obviously not.

Are these cox.net recipients repeat customers? If so, have you considered PGP keys between them?

LOL - they are spouses of the owners, etc, as well as customers. As mentioned in the OP about S/MIME, there is no chance the business, nor it's customers would deal with setting up a key exchange.
Hell, Edward Snowden barely go the journalist there to get a set of keys setup so he could trade messages with them, you really think you're going to get normal business people to do so? or house wives?
