I have to be honest with you—until recently, I didn’t fully distinguish between the different types of encryption. I assumed encryption was something you used whenever you wanted to secure data, and that was that. However, recent headlines about privacy breaches and cyberattacks forced us to take a closer look at how we handle data security for ourselves and our clients. It became clear that end-to-end encryption (E2EE) wasn’t just a buzzword but an essential tool for safeguarding sensitive information.
For us, it all started with a password manager. We needed a trusted tool—something secure but, most importantly, private. That’s when we settled on Proton Pass, part of the Proton suite of encrypted tools. From there, encryption became a bigger part of the conversation. We began exploring how E2EE could provide stronger protection for passwords, emails, file sharing, and even everyday communication.
This article reflects what we’ve learned: what end-to-end encryption is, why it matters, and how tools like WhatsApp, Signal, and the Proton suite can help you take privacy and security to the next level.
