Google's recent major update for Gmail marks its 21st birthday, introducing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for enterprise users. Initially available in beta, it allows users to send secure emails to Gmail recipients within an organization and will soon expand to broader access. This new encryption model simplifies the user experience by negating the need for custom software or trading encryption keys. Powered by client-side encryption (CSE), it ensures that data remains protected before reaching Google's cloud. This update is expected to enhance privacy and security without complicating IT processes.
"This capability, requiring minimal efforts for both IT teams and end users, abstracts away the traditional IT complexity and substandard user experiences of existing solutions, while preserving enhanced data sovereignty, privacy, and security controls."
"When an E2EE email is sent to another Gmail recipient, the message is automatically decrypted on the other end... for a non-Gmail recipient, the Google email platform sends them an invitation to view the E2EE email in a restricted version of Gmail."
