The Difference Between A Stolen Mailbox and a Steel Envelope: An interview with gWebs CTO Anderson Jin.
Recently, all of the big email providers in the consumer arena, including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and MSN Live Mail have begun to offer “security solutions”. Google Apps, Microsoft’s Live Admin Mail, Bluetie and Rackspace also offer business security solutions for both small and large enterprises.
But what are these solutions, and how does our new product, MailCloak, differ from them? In this blog post Sarah Yu, Global Web Security Systems’ (gWebs) marketing executive, interviews gWebs CTO and lead programmer Jin Anderson to discuss what’s happening in the email security space and how MailCloak differs from the security solutions already offered by these providers. I have translated this post from the original Chinese.
“Let’s take the metaphor of snail-mail. The username and password authentication system is a lot like the key to a mailbox. If this key is copied or stolen, all the mail inside can be stolen and read. But MailCloak is like a steel envelope. It will protect the message even if an intruder guesses or steals your login credentials.”
