NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

The message from vendors is clear - and our own testers concur:
Encrypting e-mail is easier than you might think. This week
Network World presents a Tech Insider on e-mail encryption,
including a comprehensive test of six products, a case study of
encryption use at a Toronto investment company, and a story
about how different companies are using the technology in ways
they never knew they would.
