Say Goodbye to PGP Complexity: Cloud Migration Made Easy

PGP & S/MIME    | May 31, 2023

Migrating PGP encryption to the cloud can be overwhelming for many organizations, we get it. But fear not, it doesn’t have to be as complex as it seems.

While certificate-based encryption systems, like PGP, are known to be expensive and cumbersome, they are still widely used. It’s important for any modern encryption email service to be able to communicate with the people using it.

But let’s be real; PGP is a pain to maintain with all its hardware and software installations.

On-premises PGP deployments can be complicated and expensive to maintain, requiring skilled personnel, dedicated hardware, and constant resources to run effectively. Therefore, it’s not justifiable for resource-stretched IT teams to bear its heavy burden. That’s where cloud migration comes in. In fact, according to a survey conducted by Echoworx and Gartner Peer Insights, 64% of technology leaders have included PGP certificate encryption in their cloud migration plans, with the percentage doubling for organizations over 1000 in size.

By migrating PGP to the cloud, heavy-lifting management, PGP support, and storage can be offloaded, substantially lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Don’t be intimidated by the complexity of on-premises PGP solutions. Echoworx makes migrating PGP to the cloud easy. Let us show you how.

Streamline Email Encryption Evaluation with Our Proof-of-Concept (POC) Process

Our Proof-of-Concept (POC) demonstrates that our cloud-based email encryption solution meets your requirements while providing a compelling business case for adoption. But just using PGP as an email encryption solution is quite limiting. It doesn’t consider other encryption standards or the fact that many people can’t use PGP at all. Plus, it’s tough to meet jurisdictional requirements with an on-premises implementation of PGP since you’d need instances running within several geographic regions to ensure compliance.

That’s why it makes perfect sense for organizations with multiple physical offices to choose cloud-based PGP. Managing internal environments is complex. But our POC process makes it easy to evaluate our features, functions, and services against your full criteria. With Echoworx, you can have peace of mind knowing that your email encryption is secure and in line with jurisdictional requirements.
