Encrypt messages
The security on standard e-mail is equivalent to a postcard going through the mail--anyone can read it. If you're
sending sensitive data into the Internet without proper protection, it could get snared by unruly data hijackers. Secured eMail adds a Send Secure button to the Outlook interface,
enabling its combination of AES encryption and a proprietary set of dynamic code keys, which guarantees safe e-mail
sends.
