For example, an email can be encrypted from the point of creation and remain encrypted until only approved devices directly associated with the target user. Some [secure email gateway software](https://www.g2.com/categories/secure-email-gateway) possesses encryption capabilities, but those tools also have additional features for comprehensive spam filtering, malware protection and information archiving.
