Explanation

Automatically encrypting outgoing emails satisfies both requirements: the business need to send confidential data is fulfilled (emails are delivered), and the information is protected in transit via encryption. Encrypting incoming emails does nothing to protect data being sent out. Merely monitoring outgoing emails provides visibility but no protection. Preventing outgoing emails blocks the business process entirely, failing the business need. Encryption is the only option that meets both goals simultaneously.
