What’s a good way to encrypt an email attachment (it’s an excel spreadsheet) to securely send to an external trading partner? I.e. it’s a B2B scenario.

The best way to do it is to use which creates a file that shows up like a drive after the password is entered. Put a long password in it like >30 characters with some gibberish @_$&| in it and don’t ever email that password to anyone, hand deliver it. Ideally, you want to do the encrypting and decrypting on computers that are never on line (eliminates the possibility that some one else has something running on your computer that sends keystrokes to home base once in a while)
Second best would be if you both just got a account
Third (and quite a bit less secure but quick and easy) would be to get on the phone and say hey I’m sending you an encrypted zip file, the password is “nobody listens to my phone” and use (which is like win zip only free) to password protect a zip file and email it
