Email Encryption Solutions in Microsoft 365
Email Encryption Solutions in Microsoft 365 looks at how messages and attachments are protected both within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and when they are sent to external recipients. This course outlines the various protection mechanisms at play, how they work, and how to use them. In addition to encryption and information rights management, we see how encrypted messages can be customized with an organization’s branding and what additional functionality comes with custom branding.

There are no mandatory prerequisites required to take this course, but an understanding of how email works and previous experience with PowerShell would be beneficial.
Microsoft Purview message encryption enables email encryption and information rights management for messages sent to recipients inside and outside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Messages and office document attachments where the total payload is under 25MB are automatically encrypted. In addition to encryption while in transit, messages and attachments are protected by information rights management. With encryption set up, users can choose “Do not forward” or “Encrypt-only” from the Outlook option’s encrypt menu. Advanced message encryption, which comes with E5 subscriptions, enables admins to create custom configuration templates. The default OME and custom configurations can change the look of encrypted emails. Custom configurations enable message expiration and revocation.
