Google has announced a major privacy upgrade for Gmail, introducing simple end-to-end encryption for enterprise users. The new feature allows seamless encrypted messaging to any recipient, regardless of their email service, through a simple checkbox interface. Initially available for Google Workspace Enterprise Plus and Education users with Assured Controls, the system uses client-side encryption with organization-controlled keys. Recipients using non-Gmail accounts can access encrypted messages through a restricted Gmail viewer, marking a significant step toward mainstream email privacy.
