Encryption devices have been around forever (before 2008, before Clinton, before Powell, before Rice). It's not at the e-mail layer (layer 7) but at the link layer (Layer 2), if I remember my OSI 7-layer model correctly. Encryption devices sit in front of your routers and everything passing through is encrypted. It's available to anybody that needs to work remotely (not in the place of business).
