Extensions ​

In order to ease and optimize the security of email and document exchanges in the daily use of your employees' IT tools, we develop integrations, such as Microsoft Outlook, to ease use since only one click is required to encrypt an email or document in compatible applications.

This interface allows you to add/remove the extension to the software.
