Wells Fargo & Company, a bank holding company, has selected and deployed Voltage SecureMail form Voltage Security, a provider of information encryption services, to secure email communications between its team members, customers, vendors and extended business partners.

Voltage Security claims that Wells Fargo chosen Voltage SecureMail for ease of adoption and ease of integration with the pre-existing messaging environment.
