Email Encryption

Email encryption helps secure emails containing sensitive information by encoding the message so that only the intended recipients can decode and read it. Encryption is designed to keep hackers from intercepting and accessing valuable or confidential information across different email platforms like Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, and webmail.
