Virtru at Google Cloud Next '23: Secure Your Google Ecosystem, Seamlessly

Google Workspace makes collaboration easier. It’s just a fact - but when your organization is obligated to meet stringent data protection rules, can you afford to sacrifice workflow for security?

It’s easy to digest that organizations around the world face this dilemma, and the use cases are endless. From cities like Sheboygan County, which migrated to the cloud for convenience; to DIB contractors like Rise8, which needed to securely collaborate with the DoD; to international entities like Croix Rouge Français (French Red Cross) where protecting information in the cloud can mean life or death; there is a universal need to have it both ways.

With Virtru, a leading Google encryption solution, in their toolkit, each of these organizations can have their cake and eat it too. Here’s how.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

Google-housed organizations large and small use Virtru to protect their most sensitive data, while also possessing the freedom to collaborate and grow their business. Remember Croix Rouge, Sheboygan, and Rise8? Here’s how they faced their cloud collaboration conundrum with Virtru as a strategic solution.

The French Red Cross, faced with the sensitive task of handling patient data across several chapters, relied on Virtru’s data protection capabilities. It was Virtru’s end-to-end encryption and access controls that allowed them to share patient data securely, facilitating cross-chapter collaboration and reducing the reliance on paper-based methods.

Sheboygan County, Wisconsin’s move to cloud services benefited greatly from Virtru’s proactive, data-centric security approach. Virtru's encryption helped tackle misconceptions about cloud security and ensured data was protected during the migration, fostering a collaborative environment among employees irrespective of their location. Moreover, the visibility and control Virtru offered over data, including determining who could access it and for how long, helped secure the County’s digital services.

In the defense contracting realm, Rise8 needed to share sensitive Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) securely with the Department of Defense. Here, Virtru's Secure Share and Gmail Add-In simplified this exchange by encrypting files and emails, eliminating the need for cumbersome S/MIME and key exchanges, and enabling smooth communication between parties. Additionally, by meeting various regulatory requirements, Virtru enabled Rise8 to maintain secure collaborations at an international level.
