Privacy is a non-negotiable aspect of business email solutions. One of the best ways to enforce privacy is by encrypting it. One way of encrypting email messages is to change the readable plain text to scrambled ciphertext. This way, only the intended recipient can comprehend the message by using a private key that is an exact match of the public key that is used to encrypt the email message. Without the private key, the message will be incomprehensible to a recipient who may have intercepted the message or have accidentally received it. If you are sending confidential information, here’s what you need to know about how to encrypt email in Office 365.<\/p>\n
