Email encryption allows us to safeguard the confidentiality of the data. An email message is transformed from readable plain text into scrambled cypher text when it is encrypted. The communication can only be read by the receiver who has the private key that exactly matches the public key used to encrypt it. However, any recipient who does not have the appropriate private key gets unintelligible content. We can set up rules to automatically encrypt communications when they satisfy specific requirements. By way of illustration, we can set up a rule to encrypt all messages sent outside of our company or any messages that contain a certain list of words or phrases. Any encryption rules will be automatically implemented.
