Security News > 2021 > August > If encryption is so good at protecting data, why do so many businesses succumb to cyberattacks?

This form of encryption essentially creates a virtual safe for your data that can only be unlocked with a passcode.

If encryption is so easy, why don't people do it?

The problem is, unless you're using a secure email service, encryption isn't usually easy to set up.

You can enable end-to-end encryption on many email providers, such as Outlook or Gmail, but setting that up is often a lengthy and complicated process.

Secure email services make it much easier to turn encryption on and off, usually with a click of a button.

Even when everyone understands why encryption is important, if encryption protocols are difficult to set up or use, your employees and contacts may avoid using them.
