Email encryption for Gmail and Outlook
If you are integrating your address books, consider email encryption on important data. It helps add an extra layer of security and privacy to your emails. Email encryption ensures that your email is only being viewed by those it was intended for, and that the data cannot be stored somewhere it shouldn’t.
Email encryption is offered by both Gmail and Outlook and is highly suggested when exchanging and working with sensitive information. Keep in mind that even accidental data breaches can be costly to you and the company you operate with.
