Encrypt and sign outgoing messages and decrypt and verify incoming messages. Minimise the risk of data breaches for security and privacy.

Protect your data in email, whether in transit or at rest. Symantec Desktop Email Encryption provides an end-to-end email encryption solution that automatically encrypts and decrypts email directly between clients without the need to log into a third-party website. Email remains encrypted on internal mail servers or when email is outsourced to the cloud.

Desktop Email Encryption automatically encrypts, decrypts, digitally signs and verifies messages according to individual or centrally managed policies. Email is encrypted immediately at the client, ensuring communications are secure before hitting internal networks or stored in the cloud. Compatible with Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

Key Benefits:

  • Secure: Encrypts email at the client rather than the mail server or gateway, helping ensure only authorised users can access content.
  • User Friendly: Improves policy and regulatory compliance without hindering productivity.
  • Fast: Operates as a proxy to increase performance while removing the need for application or version-specific plug-ins.
  • Scalable: Administration can be simplified by adding other Symantec Encryption solutions to the management console without additional integration.
