Installing Virtru for Chrome (pdf)
What is Virtru Encryption? Virtru is an e-mail encryption platform that functions with all cloud-based e-mail platforms. Virtru extends two types of e-mail encryption. One type is a secure web portal in which recipients log into a web browser page to open an encrypted e-mail in their inbox. The other type of encryption is an end-to-end encryption in Outlook, Office 365 and Gmail. With the end-to-end platform both parties have Virtru credentials and can access encrypted e-mails from within their inbox. When using end-to-end encryption, Virtru offers various supplementary security options. The options are as follows:
NOTE: If you did not receive the verification e-mail in your inbox, check any Spam, Junk, and/or Promotion folders. If the e-mail is not in any other folders, the e-mail may be stuck in an external quarantine. Please contact your internal IT administrator and ask them to check any mail filters or quarantine. Also, request that your IT administrator allow or unblock e-mails from the virtru.com domain to prevent the issue from recurring.
Using Virtru, you can selectively encrypt emails sent from your Brown.edu address. You can also prevent a forwarded email from being read, set a read expiration, and revoke the ability to read an email after it is sent. Email recipients do not need to install Virtru to read or respond to your email.
The State of Utah uses Virtru to encrypt emails. Encryption of email messages protects the content from being read by entities other than the intended recipients. DTS has rolled out the Virtru Chrome extension statewide to make using email encryption easier. The Virtru extension is only used in Chrome.
Now when composing an email, you have the Virtru protection option which you can toggle on when needed. Virtru may also prompt you if you are about to send potentially sensitive information and offer to encrypt.
For example, if creating an email and clicking Send with the Virtru addon disabled, you may be prompted with the below image suggesting that perhaps the email would be better sent encrypted. Virtru will check patterns and other indicators that may show PII (personally identifiable information) or other sensitive data that should not be sent without encryption. You can click Protect & Send to encrypt the email or you can choose to Send Anyway.
Here you will be able to see what emails have been sent using Virtru encryption. Checking the box in front of any email from the list allows you to revoke access to the email. Once checked, click the small hand shaped icon above the list to revoke access.
Clicking on any of the emails will provide a description of what content the email had that Virtru had detected as well as if the recipient had received and read the email. You are also provided the options to add an expiration date (so the email will no longer be readable) and the option to prevent the recipient from forwarding the email.
If you are already a Virtru user, or have completed this process previously (and have not cleared browser caches or it has not been some time since you completed the process), the email will be decrypted.
Depending on the email address you are using, such as Gmail, you may be provided with the opportunity to use that service to sign in with, otherwise, you will be prompted to sign in with a one time link.
Once verified, you will then see the email that was sent. Replying to this email will send an encrypted reply, which will also encrypted any attachments you add to the email. The attachment icon is the same as many other email clients, the paper clip icon on the bottom row. See images below.
U-M faculty, staff, and students can add an extra layer of security to their email messages using Virtru with U-M Gmail. Virtru includes a number of security features, with options to encrypt your email, and help you control access to the messages you send. It allows you to send end-to-end encrypted email, and lets you choose when to turn on encryption for each message, which is especially important when sending sensitive data (see the U-M Sensitive Data Guide). Additional options include the ability to:
In this blog post, we review nine email encryption vendors (Barracuda, Egress, Hushmail, Indentillect, LuxSci, MailHippo, NeoCertified, Protected Trust, ProtonMail, Rmail, & Virtru) who provide HIPAA compliant email encryption services that will keep your information safe when in transit. All of these products offer similar features and price points. These companies are equipped to handle all of your HIPAA compliant email encryption needs, and they also provide the services at a reasonable price that even small and medium-sized businesses can afford.
Barracuda complies with all portions of HIPAA and HITECH that apply to their services (for example, transmission security, audit controls, etc.). The Barracuda Message Center utilizes Advanced Encryption Service with a 256-bit cipher. The first time a recipient receives an email, Barracuda generates a unique key. Encrypted emails use the recipients key using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption
This HIPAA compliant email encryption service secures data at rest and in transit using AES-256 bit encryption, providing end-to-end, message-level encryption. Users can also enable extra controls, like forced multi-factor authentication. When you send an encrypted email with Egress, you can revoke recipient access or prevent recipient actions, such as downloading, printing, screen-shotting or copy/paste.
Multi-factor authentication can be enabled, and customizable policy controls allow further security enhancements for when sensitive data is being shared. Users can also send large files securely, bypassing file size restrictions. Automated Data Loss Protection (DLP) policies can recommend or force encryption based on keywords found within the email or attachments.
Egress software integrates with Outlook and Gmail, and also allows users to encrypt their emails from Apple and Android mobile devices as well as Apple computers and PCs. The Outlook feature works as an add-in that becomes part of the Outlook window. Users must access the Gmail service via the Google Chrome internet browser. If users check email through the Apple Mail application on their Mac, they can download an Egress app from the Apple App Store. Additionally, the Egress Prevent feature determines what normal behavior looks like for individual employees, and alerts them when they might be about to make a mistake and misdirect an email, as well as alerting administrators to unusual behavior.
The cost of this product depends on the number of users. For example, a single user pays $100/year (about $8.30 monthly) for their services. The more users a company has, the cheaper the price per user becomes. Egress offers a wide variety of services. If organizations choose to utilize more than just email encryption, the price will increase.
Notably, this HIPAA compliant email encryption service is free for third party users, meaning recipients can access encrypted emails whether or not they use the service. So, if an employee using Egress sends an encrypted email to a client, they will still receive the data securely so no information is compromised. Third parties in this scenario can read, reply to, and initiate secure emails to keep PHI, PII, and other sensitive information protected. Egress also offers a free trial for users who would like to sample their services.
This HIPAA compliant email encryption service secures your data with randomly generated AES 256-bit encryption. All emails are encrypted under their assigned AES key and sent securely over SSL/TLS with RSA 2048-bit encryption. Recipients can view the contents of the email even if they have not installed Delivery Trust; They receive an email notification and click on a link. This takes the user to the Delivery Trust Web Portal to answer any authentication questions posed. Then the email will be decrypted by Delivery Trust to view securely.
Delivery Trust offers a business package which provides security features for an entire enterprise. With this package, users can appoint a business administrator to create policies for the company account. This includes specifying preferences around authentication questions, security controls (for example, disable printing, forwarding of an email, retracting emails, etc.), preventing employees from permanently deleting emails, and setting retention policies.
LuxSci encrypts, sends bulk emails over SMTP, and compiles email reports for any size company. They offer a service that transfers your existing emails and data into the LuxSci server if you switch to using their host service.
Emails sent through LuxSci are automatically encrypted end-to-end. They use SSL/TLS encryption to connect to their servers, ensuring messages cannot be modified in transit. Users can send secure messages to anyone with a valid email. The recipient does not need to have LuxSci to receive or reply to a LuxSci encrypted email.
In compliance with HIPAA, LuxSci provides an email encryption system designed to transfer ePHI securely. They use SMTP TLS enabled mail servers to securely pass emails between themselves. They also use Escrow that requires recipients to actively verify their identity before they can access a message at a secure web portal. Additionally, LuxSci uses PKI to internally encrypt email messages before sending them to the recipients.
