How to send encrypted emails
ATSU uses Mimecast for encrypting emails that contain sensitive information. Here’s how it works:
- Compose your email as usual.
- Include the keyword [encrypt] with the brackets in the subject line of your email (see image below).
- Send your email as you normally would.
By including the keyword [encrypt] in the subject line of your emails, you can take advantage of Mimecast’s secure email functionality. Using the keyword [encrypt] will automatically apply Mimecast’s encryption to your email, ensuring your sensitive information is protected.
If you have the Virtru extension – the tool previously used for encrypted email, it can be uninstalled from your browser by following these instructions.
