In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for securing data for transmission to a wireless device. The disclosed systems and methods may include an electronic messaging system used to send and receive data over a first network and also used to forward data to a wireless device operable in a second network. The electronic messaging system may receive an electronic message encrypted with a first encryption algorithm and addressed to a message recipient in the first network, the message recipient having an associated wireless device operable in the second network. The electronic messaging system may determine that the electronic message is to be transported across the second network to the wireless device, and in response to determining that the electronic message is to be transported across the second network, encrypt the electronic message using a second encryption algorithm and transmit the encrypted message over the second network to the wireless device, with the second encryption algorithm being a stronger encryption algorithm than the first encryption algorithm.
