The need for Email Encryption
Emails are always the central mode of communication between internal and external parties of all global and regional companies. The covid-19 era has further deepened the need and demand for email communications due to the worldwide surge of remote/work-from-home trends. Millions of emails are sent daily for contracts, invoices, and important business documents worldwide. The email content includes crucial information related to clientele, deals, internal communications, etc., which is essential to secure from internal and external frauds and breaches.

So, how to secure emails?
The answer is email encryption. Fortinet defines email encryption as – “Email encryption is an authentication process that prevents messages from being read by an unintended or unauthorized individual. It scrambles the original sent message and converts it into an unreadable or undecipherable format. Email encryption ensures that the intended audience only reads the content of an email.”
Email encryption works with the help of digital signatures known as public keys, such as Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and GNU Privacy Guard. Users need to send these public keys to their contacts so that whenever they want to send confidential information through an email, the email can be encrypted with the help of the public keys. Similarly, recipients also require a private key to decrypt information received in emails from other users. Email encryption includes software and services that users can implement with the help of various devices, including smartphones, PCs, laptops, and tablets.

Emails are essential not just because they involve company information but also because they contain a diverse set of data. Whether it be work files, bank accounts, or Amazon shipping numbers, email accounts bring many parts of a person’s life into one platform. Thus, they are particularly vulnerable to phishing scams, intermediary attacks, and more. Without encryption, companies, families, and individuals can face severe repercussions.
