When we started doing the change management, it was the easiest sell ever. People were delighted to start using the new system, because the user interface is so much better than your standard gateway-oriented products.
With Virtru, it's it's been refreshing. I just really wish more of my stuff worked this way because it was a relatively easy experience for a really complex problem.
Virtru’s Email Plugin and the Virtru Data Protection Gateway have given us the freedom to be able to exchange proprietary information securely, both within the U.S. and across our different business units. From foundry, pouring molten metal into a form, to manufacturing those products, and then all the way through our distribution centers, there's quite a bit of a chain that happens within the company itself. It's extremely helpful to be able to send that information back and forth across our business in a secure manner without having to worry about somebody getting hold of it and being able to see what they're not supposed to see.
Really, what's valuable to us is the day-to-day integration with our business rhythms.
We’re in the forefront when it comes to responsible gaming. Our approach to data security might be related to that. We are committed to the well-being of all our players, not just those who may face gambling issues. We take a proactive approach in ensuring a responsible and safe gaming environment for everyone. Over the past few years, we have implemented maximum loss limits that will shut down an account when it hits that threshold. When we see that the players are moving toward that limit, we act and proactively contact the user, and so on. Since we implemented the first loss limit back in 2018, we have been lowering the limit almost every year and we have also implemented targeted lower loss limits for our young customers. And, in the same way, we have a responsible approach for customer data and PII.
With Virtru’s encryption solutions in place, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission saw a huge improvement in both data security and efficiency. Officers, park rangers, and field staff could easily exchange sensitive information to get their jobs done, without worrying about any security or compliance gaps.
To send a secure email, you just toggle the button, and it’s encrypted. It works how it says it does.
We were using the Google stack and Virtru just fit for everything. It was a no-brainer to go with Virtru.
It's very much about how can we use Virtru to support employees in coming in to a new way of working, and allowing them to secure data and work in ways that they may have been used to in the parent company, but in a completely different IT architecture.
Virtru just adds that little little extension into the Chrome browser. Just being able to hit ‘compose’ on your email and type away as you normally would, or send attachments as you normally would, and then just hit the little radio button to encrypt your message… That's what I think made it attractive to us. And it's something that we put out to our users: At least a few key stakeholders in the beginning were testing the different platforms and Virtru was, by far, the winner.
When we talk about the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act and the financial repercussions of the final Safeguards Rule, we use Virtru to stay compliant and stay secure, which are not always the same thing, but in this case, Virtru is giving us a delivered solution for both. And that's a really powerful feature for us, because it's a low-cost software deployment.
The state needed to decide whether to stay with MOVEit, choose Citrix ShareFile, or switch to Virtru. Upon evaluating the options, they landed on Virtru Secure Share.
Our industry is very heavily attacked…it's an industry many people don't realize is a target.
We were able to get a perfect score from the first audit and have everything cleared out of the way.
The most important thing for us is providing an optimized, frictionless experience for our teams that also lowered our incoming call volume. When it comes to sending and receiving Virtru emails, it just makes sense for both our teams and our customers.
I've used it personally when I've needed to share something sensitive. I think we had something recently with our accountant where she was asking for tax documents and I sent them via Virtru because I was uncomfortable sharing personal identification information over unencrypted email.
If you're looking for an easy-to-use, streamlined, secure email platform, I would recommend Virtru, because it'll give you what you need and also that peace of mind that goes a long way.
Virtru's compelling factor is that data access is bound to identity. Every meaningful response, whether network or data access, requires an identity assertion. This shifts us from traditional perimeter security to a model where we can't trust the environment, but we can enforce authentication parameters to validate identity.
