What is corporate email?

Corporate email is the communication channel used within a business domain. Addresses such as firstmate@harborpost.com are tied to a company’s identity, policies, and compliance rules.

Corporate email often includes centralized security controls, enhanced authentication, archival requirements, and routing policies. These archives exist to support eDiscovery, the legal requirement that organizations must be able to search and retrieve internal communication when necessary. Security layers are commonly enforced by a Secure Email Gateway, a fortified harbor gate that scans every ship entering or leaving for malware, data leaks, or policy violations. Behind the scenes, it is the organized fleet that represents the company on open waters.
