@Dashrender said in encrypted email options?:
Then Scott posts that real secure/encrypted email is basically nothing more more than TLS based transit encrypted delivery.
I wouldn't worry about Scott's definition of things. OME is well accepted as email encryption, even though Scott will argue that it technically isn't. We could get into the weeds about things technically and start an argument that doesnt matter or we could ask ourselves a few important questions.
1.) Is the data actually encrypted?
2.) Is authentication required to access the data?
3.) Is this an accepted industry standard?
4.) Can I bring my own key to ensure no one else can read the data, if I dont trust Microsoft?
5.) Will it easily integrate with my current solution?
The answer to all those is Yes from OME. Why would you setup a more complicated solution just so it can be technically encrypted email? Who gives a shit about the email itself? It is the data you are trying to protect.
No IT department that I have ever seen functions as Scott claims. I have known a few IT people that like to argue about things like this, but in the end they end up wasting time and actually hurting the business. Bringing a more complicated solution in this case solves nothing and only creates issues.
