"Google Launches Client-Side Encryption for Gmail in Beta"

Google has announced that organizations can now request to test client-side encryption for web-based Gmail. This long-promised functionality is now accessible to a limited number of Workspace customers. According to Google, the new encryption option renders important data in the email body and attachments undecipherable to Google servers. However, the security and privacy function is not accessible to all users. Client-side encryption is already available for several Google products, including Drive, Docs, and Meet. Client-side encryption is disabled by default and must be enabled by administrators, according to the company. Then, users can choose to encrypt emails and attachments message-by-message. This article continues to discuss Google expanding access to client-side encryption in Gmail on the web.
