Enterprise Gmail Users Can Now Send End-to-End Encrypted Emails to Any Platform

Summary: Google has announced a significant update to Gmail, introducing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for enterprise users that simplifies the encryption process. This feature enables users to send E2EE emails not only within an organization but eventually to any email inbox, eliminating the need for custom software or certificate exchanges. The new model preserves data sovereignty and security while being user-friendly and efficient for IT teams and end users.
