New Email Encryption - Outlook

All,

The Information Systems department will be moving away from Barracuda’s Email Encryption (include ‘Encrypt This’ in any email) at the end of September.

We encourage you to begin using encryption through Outlook to securely send any emails containing PII. See attached Information Security Policy for reminders on what must be encrypted to be sent externally.

Microsoft’s email encryption offers a few different options to send securely –

Encrypt – Encrypts the message
Do Not Forward – Encrypts & Does Not Allow the Recipient to Forward
Confidential / All Employees – To be used for internal communication only – Does not allow forwarding / viewing by external recipients
Highly Confidential / All Employees – To be used for internal communication only – Does not allow forwarding / viewing by external recipients or replies by internal recipients

To send encrypted using Microsoft, follow the path below:

Compose your message
Click Options
Select Encrypt
Select the Encryption Option (see above for descriptions)

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Computer Helpdesk ([email protected]).

Thanks,

Jessica Lloyd | Asst. VP, Security & IT Projects
