How do I send an encrypted email from Outlook?

Office 365 now includes the ability to send encrypted messages.

The easiest way to do this is through Outlook on the web, which you can access through the email link on https://inside.ewu.edu

After logging in, compose a message and click the Encrypt option.

You will see the message below, indicating your message is now encrypted. If the recipient also uses Outlook, the message will automatically decrypted. If they use another email system (like Gmail), they will get a link to access the email securely, much like the messages you may receive from a health care provider.

Once encrypted you may address, compose, and send your message as you normally would.
