Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company uses Virtru to securely send emails containing sensitive information. Virtru ensures data encryption and secure file sharing.
It also ensures that only the one receiving the email can access the email.

This software is absolutely wonderful in ensuring compliance and safety, and I highly recommend that organizations that need to keep things sent via email secure use it!

Pros

  • Securely sends emails
  • Access control and revocation
  • Data loss prevention

Cons

  • Sometimes email receivers have issues obtaining code needed to access email

Return on Investment

  • The ROI is non-tangible as it prevents "data leaks"

The initial rollout was just for a couple of departments, and then it expanded to all departments needing the capability.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Virtru to encrypt sensitive emails in a few different use cases. We can let the sender manually encrypt the email, or based on keywords in the email we suggest the user encrypt the email or we auto (force) encrypt the email. Virtru solution helps us to gain DLP capabilities in a simple and easy way.

Pros

  • Email encryption without installing or exchange keys with the recipient.
  • Email DLP that is easy to configure and maintain.
  • Application Gateway that encrypts email sent directly from SaaS application (ex. Zendesk, SalesForce).
  • Protect attachment with restriction like time, print, and copy.

Cons

  • Native Google Docs file encryption should be improved, it's working great in Google Drive but only for files that are not Google native.

Most Important Features

  • Email Encryption.
  • Application Email Encryption.
  • Email DLP.

Return on Investment

  • Saving manual work and a few steps of the daily work of our reps. saving about 50 hours a month.
  • Ensuring customer sensitive info is protected.
  • Regulation compliance which would prevent us from doing business.
