📧 Gmail Adds Easy Encryption Toggle—But It’s Not True E2EE

Google just rolled out a beta encryption feature for Gmail enterprise users that simplifies secure communication:
・Toggle encryption from the email draft window
・No S/MIME exchange required
・Third-party inbox support coming later this year

But there’s a catch:
🔒 This isn’t true end-to-end encryption
🔑 Admins still control the keys and can monitor user content
🔍 Data is more secure in transit, but not completely private

IT leaders should evaluate the trade-offs: this new system offers better usability, but still requires trust in Google’s infrastructure and policies.

Important Update in Email Security

Google has just announced a new End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) feature for Gmail business users, making it easier to send encrypted emails to any recipient.

With this update, businesses can now send fully encrypted emails to anyone, regardless of the email service they use, without having to worry about the complexities of certificates. While businesses can still configure the S/MIME protocol for digitally signed and encrypted messages, the new Gmail model offers a much simpler and more accessible solution.

Key Benefits:

Encryption is easily activated, requiring minimal setup and effort for both IT teams and end users.

The solution ensures better control over data security and privacy.

Fully compatible with any Gmail user, whether business or personal, enabling secure email communication across platforms.

For recipients who don’t use Gmail, they will receive a link to view the email securely, without needing a Google account.

This feature is powered by Client-Side Encryption (CSE), which allows businesses to manage their own encryption keys, ensuring that data is encrypted before being sent to Google’s servers. This method is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, data sovereignty, and other compliance standards.

CSE has been available to select Google Workspace customers since 2023 and is now expanding to Gmail on the web. By the end of this year, any Gmail user will be able to send and receive end-to-end encrypted emails.

With this update, Gmail is better equipped to ensure privacy and security in business communications.

Ok, the difference is if you choose bullets from the formatting menu, then you get little bullet points. If you type a * at the start of the line and press space it automatically inserts a bullet point (good) but makes it much larger than the others (bad). Why?!

TIL #GoogleWorkspace admins can add security keys on behalf of users. Handy if you run a workspace that family members use and you want to enroll more keys that you keep at different locations.

First I helped my mom set up TOTP and a passkey in iCloud Keychain. But I also added YubiKeys keys that I keep at my house and at work. Now I can flip the switch to require MFA for all users.

Note that it does send them an email about the key being added, so you’ll want to inform them ahead of time.
