The Business Case for Email Encryption

In response to the growing volume of sensitive information traversing public networks, governments and regulatory agencies are enacting stronger data privacy laws. Regulations mandate that email containing personal or confidential data must be transmitted securely. Adding email encryption to an overall security strategy allows organizations to securely transfer data without disrupting the flow of information between customers and partners.
