Virtru Secure Secure Share

Virtru Secure Share is a web based tool that allows EMU employees to securely exchange files with other EMU employees, or with those external to the university. Secure Share uses complex encryption to secure files and permits users to share files much larger than those they can send via email.  

Examples of Virtru Secure Share Uses

  • EMU employee requests a file drop from a prospective student to securely receive required admissions documents that include sensitive data.
  • An authorized EMU employee securely exchanges a file containing PII data with an approved vendor to meet contractual requirements. 
  • EMU employees can share files larger than those permitted to be shared through email.
