Are Zendesk Emails Encrypted to End Users?
Are outgoing emails in Zendesk encrypted to end users?
Yes, outgoing emails in Zendesk are encrypted to end users when possible. Zendesk Support and Zendesk Chat use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt emails, which is automatically enabled for all accounts. This means that if the recipient's email provider supports TLS, the emails will be encrypted. However, if the receiving server does not support TLS, then ESMTP is used instead, which does not provide encryption.
For more details on Zendesk's security features, you can check out theirSecure customer servicepage.
