Send Secure Email With Office 365 Message Encryption
Office 365 Message Encryption - Secure Email
The purpose of an encrypted email is to maintain the confidentiality of data. Encryption conceals the content of a message by translating it into code. It’s especially useful when you need to send sensitive information that other people should not be able to access. Because email is sent over the internet, it is subject to being intercepted by hackers. Encryption adds a valuable layer of security to ensure that your message can only be read by the intended recipient.
