Security News > 2020 > June > Tune in and watch live: Email encryption doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing deal

With email now the number one destination to hoodwink overworked and bleary-eyed users with a confidence trick, there are many, many reasons to keep email secure.

The historical problem with a technique like encryption in the past has been, if carried out in a heavy-handed fashion, it can be an all-or-nothing kind of deal.

Encryption could lead to emails that were difficult or impossible to work with outside the company network on different platforms, servers or setups, proving unreadable on a basic level, or with important files removed or modified, often beyond the knowledge or control of the innocent or bemused sender.

Echoworx specializes in email encryption for the modern era, and the company's Jacob Ginsberg will be joining The Register's Tim Phillips for a webcast on July 2 at 1000 EDT. There, they'll discuss email encryption as part of a larger goal - namely defining the need to keep emails safe not by technology itself, but by the specific needs of those sending and receiving them.

The pair will explore how building email encryption into a digital transformation strategy can keep security ticking over while reducing friction for the people using the system.
