As email remains the backbone of corporate communication, ensuring secure and reliable email communication is essential for businesses of all sizes. Retarus has been offering robust email security solutions<\/a> for more than 30 years, with the Retarus Secure Email Gateway (SEG) model as a trusted option for leading enterprises around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New delivery option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Retarus is now adding a new deployment model via API to their portfolio. This offering is designed to complement our existing SEG approach, providing organizations with greater flexibility in how they secure their email infrastructures. The API implementation is particularly well-suited for organizations using cloud-based email platforms such as Microsoft 365, allowing them to easily enhance their email security without changing their infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The API variant \u2013 Gartner refers to this as ICES (Integrated Cloud Email Security), Forrester calls it CAPES (Cloud-native, API-enabled Email Security) \u2013 is a cloud-based email security solution that integrates directly into cloud email platforms, filtering email traffic in a different and often more flexible manner. It provides critical protection \u2013 including filtering for phishing, spam, malware, and advanced threats such as Business Email Compromise (BEC) and zero-day attacks \u2013 without the need to reroute all email traffic through an SEG and modify the MX records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

API complements Secure Email Gateway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Retarus, the SEG approach remains the primary way to provide their security services as it continues to be an optimal solution for most businesses \u2013 especially those that require a more centralized and comprehensive solution to manage their complex email environment. With the API connector, Retarus now offers a complementary delivery model for those seeking a more flexible solution to increase their email provider\u2019s basic protection. The key difference between the two approaches is how they integrate with email systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
