In today’s  world, almost everybody wants some level of privacy. Having a certain level of privacy is deemed as a “good thing” for professionals who spend most of their time online. There are several mail services claiming to be the world’s most secure email services.  Some of these  “encrypted email services” are not secure and reliable as they suggest to privacy practitioners. Fortunately, our infosec team analyzed and gathered some of the best encrypted email services for infosec ops and privacy practitioners.

 ProtonMail:

ProtonMail  is one of the best-encrypted email services that you can use to secure your email communication. The service has various features that make it one of the best services that you can use to keep your communications secure and free from hackers. It uses end to end form of encryption.  This form of encryption means that the messages are encrypted when they are being sent. You can use this email service if you are interested in secured email service. Protonmail is based in Switzerland.

Posteo.de:

Just like Tutanota,  Posteo.de is a German-based encrypted email service. Posteo has good features for its clients. Basically, clients have to pay about 1EURO to use the service for a month. This  includes access to some of the most important features of the service such as POP3 and IMAP support.  When you are signing up, you do not need to provide your personal information. This feature separates Posteo.de from the rest.

Mailfence:

mailfence.com is another alternative for infosec ops and privacy practitioners to consider. Mailfence, based in Belgium is controlled by  a belgian firm known as ContactOffice. Mailfence offers features to users such as Integrated Keystore, Two-factor authentication, and OpenPGP (end-to-end encryption) . Unfortunately, Mailfence is not accepting new registration but you can sign up later this year.

Virtru

Virtru is an email encryption and digital privacy company based in Washington D.C.  The company was established by ex-NSA security analyst John Ackerly in 2012. Virtru provides email encryption service for Google Apps, Microsoft, and Salesforce.You can also use Virtru free extension alongside with Google Chrome, Android and iOS apps.

Tutanota:

Tutanota is an open-source end-to-end encrypted email software and freemium hosted secure email service just like Virtru and Protonmail. It provides encryption services for both premium and freemium users. In addition, it allows users to send and recieve encrypted messages from regular email service users.

There are other companies offering encrypted email services just like Tutanota. Thus, you are not limited to the afore-mentioned.  But bear in mind that security is not 100%. Companies offering email encryption services for clients could also be compromised by sophiscated hacks.  However, it is quite safer to use those above than regular email services.
