What’s New in Symantec Encryption Management Server 3.3.0

Symantec Encryption Management Server 3.3.0 introduces the following new and improved features:

Symantec identity branding

The PGP product line has been renamed. For a detailed map of old product names to new ones, refer to the Symantec Knowledge base article TECH197084.

Integration with Symantec File Share Encryption and Dropbox on Apple iOS devices

The integration of Symantec File Share Encryption, formerly known as PGP NetShare, with Dropbox brings protection to files copied from a Dropbox Windows client to cloud-based storage. You can then view these encrypted Dropbox files on your iOS device. This integration allows protected files to move among Dropbox locations, to be read, edited, and saved by you or a collaborative group. Files and folders are encrypted or decrypted transparently, as needed.

Gateway Email Integration with Symantec Data Loss Prevention

Symantec Gateway Email, previously known as PGP Universal Gateway Email, has deepened its integration with Symantec Data Loss Prevention and Symantec Messaging Gateway powered by Brightmail. Symantec Messaging Gateway sends outbound email to Data Loss Prevention, which scans the email, flags the message for security violations or sensitivity. The flagged email gets routed to GWE to process corresponding security remediation through mail policy. Symantec Gateway Email then sends encryption remediation status confirmation back to Data Loss Prevention. Audit information is centrally located in Data Loss Prevention Enforce. This status synchronization leverages Data Loss Prevention’s new Incident Remediation API (IRA). This new feature is called Email Encryption Connect in DLP Enforce.

Next generation of mobile email management

PGP Viewer, which has been renamed to Symantec Mobile Encryption for iOS, now expands the ability beyond viewing to securely reply to encrypted messages or initiate new secure messages, with or without attachments. Mobile Encryption for iOS integrates with Microsoft Exchange Mobile Address List for access to your email contacts. PGP Viewer 1.0 users can automatically update to Mobile Encryption for iOS version 2.0. This product requires the mobile management policy provided in Symantec Encryption Management Server 3.3.
