-- Customers Receive Free 30-Day Trial of BellSouth's Innovative New E-mail
Encryption Service --
ATLANTA, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- BellSouth (NYSE: BLS) announced today
a new service that allows BellSouth(R) FastAccess(R) Business DSL customers
to encrypt their outgoing e-mails using security technology. BellSouth(R)
Secure Mail works simply and seamlessly with customer's existing
Microsoft(R) Outlook or Outlook(R) Express e-mail software to enclose,
encrypt and deliver confidential information over the Internet with a
higher degree of privacy.
"BellSouth recognizes that many of our small business customers are now
required by federal laws, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA, to ensure the
privacy of their customers' information," said Joey Schultz, vice president
of marketing for BellSouth Retail Markets. "With BellSouth Secure Mail,
small businesses can rest assured that their customers' e-mails - and their
businesses - are protected."
Traditional e-mails can be intercepted, read and even changed by
sophisticated hackers without the recipient's knowledge. BellSouth's Secure
Mail is the answer for professionals who need to send highly confidential
data that their business cannot leave to chance. The easy-to-install
application puts a "Secure" icon on the user's toolbar. For each e-mail the
user wants to protect, he simply clicks the icon to immediately encrypt the
message. Encrypted e-mails can be sent to recipients whether they subscribe
to BellSouth Secure Mail or not.
Customers can easily sign up for a risk-free 30-day trial of BellSouth
Secure Mail at http://smallbusiness.bellsouth.com/internet/securemail.asp.
Then for only $7.95 per month, per e-mail address, small business customers
can continue to enjoy the benefits of sending unlimited secure e-mails to
any e-mail address in the world. Many businesses invest thousands of
dollars per year in courier or other delivery services when they could be
saving money by using BellSouth Secure Mail to send their confidential
documents.
BellSouth Secure Mail is the latest of a host of premium business
broadband services and applications that BellSouth has introduced in the
past year. BellSouth offers BellSouth(R) Shared Web Hosting for small
