Only Z1 SecureMail has CertMagic®

Email certificate management is time-consuming and error-prone.
With Z1 SecureMail, it works like magic – CertMagic®

Certificate management in companies is a full-time job

Anyone who wants to sign and encrypt emails uses certificates. This usually takes a lot of time.

Consumes resources continuously

Managing your own and your communication partners’ certificates manually is extremely time-consuming and makes encryption prone to errors.

Internal & external certificates

Admins have to take care of two certificate worlds. The effort involved increases exponentially with the number of employees and the number of external contacts.

Lifecycle management

Each user typically has multiple certificate changes. This means that replacement certificates must be constantly requested and exchanged somewhere.

Z1 SecureMail manages email certificates automatically with CertMagic®

CertMagic® is based on years of experience, specialized knowledge, innovative tools and partnerships with trust centers.

Highest level of automation

The lifecycle management of keys and certificates runs automatically in the background. Employees are unaware of the processes and admins are relieved of as much work as possible. If you already have experience with certificate management, it can feel like magic when you no longer have to deal with it.

How does CertMagic® supports in everyday work/business communication

A new employee is hired and needs a certificate

The certificate is available even before the employee unpacks their new laptop. When the new employee is created in Z1 SecureMail, a certificate is automatically issued.

Procurement of certificates with just a few clicks via Zertificon
Connection to renowned trust centers e.g. SwissSign, Deutsche Telekom Security, D-Trust, Sectigo, Géant TCS
Your employees’ certificates are published automatically and can be found by third parties on the Z1 Global TrustPoint

This email should be encrypted. Where can I find the recipient’s certificate?

If your communication partner has made their certificate publicly available, it will be found automatically.

Employees send emails as usual. Thanks to CertMagic®, Z1 SecureMail can always encrypt with a valid certificate from the recipient.

Can I trust this email?

You protect yourself and your communication partners

My communication partner has a new certificate

Z1 Global TrustPoint: the connected search engine for certificates

Practical example of a certificate exchange

When it gets complex, costs arise. Security and privacy are compromised

Standard gateways send email requests to communication partners 30 days before the valid certificate expires, asking them to send the new certificate in a signed email. This is rarely successful on the first try, as the employee often does not even know that a certificate exists for them and how to send it. This is a classic case for the service desk, resulting in avoidable costs for both the company and the communication partner.

No encryption without a certificate

The service desk ticket is often not even created because internal instructions are ignored when employees are overwhelmed. Encryption and signature checks are dispensed with in the interests of an undisturbed process. Protection with Z1 SecureMail can be so simple.
