About the problems of PPAP and its countermeasures and alternatives
What is de-PPAP? ~Problems with PPAP
PPAP is a method of sending e-mail in which a ZIP file with a password is sent as an attachment to an e-mail and the password is sent later through the same route. However, its security (information leakage, difficulty in checking for viruses, vulnerability of ZIP encryption strength, etc.) and convenience are considered problematic, and there is a movement among government agencies and private companies to adopt PPAP as a countermeasure/alternative to PPAP.
Problem 1
Possibility of information leakage
Sending a ZIP file and password through the same channel increases the risk of the file being viewed by eavesdroppers. There is also a risk of information leakage due to erroneous transmission.
Problem 2
Risk of malware infection
It is difficult for antivirus tools that are effective in general anti-malware measures to inspect the contents of ZIP files with passwords. Cyber-attacks can exploit this point and induce malware infection.
Problem 3
Low convenience for recipients
Recipients have to enter the password sent separately. In many cases, ZIP files cannot be decompressed and viewed from smart devices.
PPAP Countermeasures / Alternatives
“HENNGE Secure Download” not only provides PPAP countermeasures, but also does not compromise convenience and security.
HENNGE Secure Download is a de-PPAP solution for the abolition of PPAP (ZIP file operation with password) countermeasures. It automatically detaches and uploads attached files when sending an e-mail, and sends a PDF file with the original e-mail body and a URL for file download to the recipient as an attachment. The recipient authenticates his/her e-mail address from the URL in the PDF and can download the file after entering the authentication code.
Features of HENNGE Secure Download
User-friendly operation
Attached files are automatically converted to URLs, so senders can simply attach files to e-mails without being aware of it. This leads to a reduction in man-hours by eliminating the need for manual ZIP encryption operations.
Prevents downloading by third parties
Only the recipients of TO/CC/BCC emails can download files after their email addresses are authenticated. The download status can also be checked from the user screen.
Countermeasure against accidental transmission
If an attached file is accidentally sent, the URL can be disabled after sending, reducing the risk of information leakage due to accidental transmission.
Improved Convenience for Recipients
No advance preparation or installation is required on the part of the file recipient. Files can also be downloaded from smart devices, which has been difficult with conventional ZIP files.
The main reasons why a PPAP solution/alternative is needed are security issues and recipient convenience.
When choosing a PPAP solution, it is recommended to choose a service that is not only secure, but also easy on the user. HENNGE One also offers a wide range of email security features that standard cloud email services cannot provide, including not only PPAP countermeasures/alternatives, but also email misdirection countermeasures and email audit functions.
