Important Update in Email Security

Google has just announced a new End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) feature for Gmail business users, making it easier to send encrypted emails to any recipient.

With this update, businesses can now send fully encrypted emails to anyone, regardless of the email service they use, without having to worry about the complexities of certificates. While businesses can still configure the S/MIME protocol for digitally signed and encrypted messages, the new Gmail model offers a much simpler and more accessible solution.

Key Benefits:

Encryption is easily activated, requiring minimal setup and effort for both IT teams and end users.

The solution ensures better control over data security and privacy.

Fully compatible with any Gmail user, whether business or personal, enabling secure email communication across platforms.

For recipients who don’t use Gmail, they will receive a link to view the email securely, without needing a Google account.

This feature is powered by Client-Side Encryption (CSE), which allows businesses to manage their own encryption keys, ensuring that data is encrypted before being sent to Google’s servers. This method is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, data sovereignty, and other compliance standards.

CSE has been available to select Google Workspace customers since 2023 and is now expanding to Gmail on the web. By the end of this year, any Gmail user will be able to send and receive end-to-end encrypted emails.

With this update, Gmail is better equipped to ensure privacy and security in business communications.

This was really interesting and horrifying to read. It makes me want to buy a $20 burner smart phone for online shopping with a VPN.

But even scarier than the price gouging stuff, how do I know that Rite Aid didn’t sell information about me they obtained from facial recognition software when I went into their store/pharmacy to the government? They know I’m disabled because I’m on Medicare and I’m younger than 65. My disability doesn’t involve my ability to walk around a store, but if yours does will Rite Aid tell the government that they have video of you walking for 10 minutes just fine? Will that mess with your disability review? Maybe, who would even know?
