Case Study: Rise8 streamlines secure collaboration with Virtru

DoD Contractor Rise8 Uses Virtru to Overcome Secure Workflow Friction

Rise8, a defense contractor that develops software systems for the US Department of Defense and federal agencies, needed a way to exchange Controlled Unclassified Information and other sensitive data without slowing its engineers and technicians down. Before Virtru, its team relied on DoDSAFE for encrypted file exchanges, which created bottlenecks, password issues, and delays when the designated recipient was unavailable.

Rise8 used Virtru Secure Share and the Gmail add-in to send encrypted files by email or unique share links and to exchange protected messages without the friction of S/MIME key management. Virtru helped the team keep encrypted communications moving with the DoD, add protections for CUI, PII, and FCL information, and reduce the need for separate certificates and staff to manage them.
