Google Rolls Out Beta Encryption Feature for Enterprise Gmail Users

The new client-side encryption simplifies secure email communication within organizations, with plans to expand to external platforms by year-end.

Google's new encryption feature for Gmail is now in beta for Workspace Enterprise Plus, Education Standard, and Education Plus users.
The feature uses client-side encryption, giving organizations control over encryption keys while simplifying email security processes.
Currently, encrypted emails can only be sent within organizations, but support for external Gmail and other platforms is planned for later this year.
Unlike traditional S/MIME encryption, this model eliminates the need for certificate exchanges, streamlining the user experience.
Non-Gmail recipients will access encrypted emails via a restricted Gmail interface, ensuring secure viewing and replies.
