Feb 6, 2006
San Francisco, CA – RSA - Feb 6, 2006 - Echoworx Corporation, a leading provider of security software products for digital communications, today announced its technology platform interoperability with leading messaging archiving providers, Fortiva and Jatheon. Echoworx end-to-end email encryption is being offered by leading service providers such as AT&T, BellSouth, Rogers, Tiscali and Verizon.
Echoworx has delivered an open API that seamlessly integrates with third party archiving providers. Echoworx Archiving Agent decrypts encrypted S/MIME messages for the purposes of applying and enforcing corporate email messaging policies. This product feature allows enterprises to maintain their existing policy based archiving requirements without compromising the security and performance of their email communication.
“As a managed email archiving provider, Fortiva has placed great emphasis on email data security by offering the industry’s only Data Privacy Guarantee, made possible by our DoubleBlind Encryption™ technology,” said Alan Armstrong, Vice President Product Management at Fortiva. “However, the challenge for customers using encrypted email is that when this data is archived, it does not meet future search and retrieval requirements for compliance and legal discovery purposes. We are pleased that Echoworx has chosen to work with us to help resolve this concern, allowing our customers to keep their data encrypted and safe before, during, and after archiving.”
Chris Erickson, Executive Vice President, at Echoworx, said “Echoworx delivers the confidence of end-to-end email encryption with the ability to open, index and archive email at a trusted point that complies with legislation such as Sarbanes Oxley. This technology enables enterprises to affordably and easily launch their best practice encryption policies while seamlessly managing their archiving requirements.”
“We are pleased to be partnering with Echoworx to bring Jatheon’s e-mail archiving solution to a broader audience of customers who are focused on end-to-end encryption,” said Randy Bastarache, Vice President of Corporate Development of Jatheon Technologies. “We see a growing trend in the market for customers interested in deploying end-to-end encryption with our complimentary archiving technology to deliver a turnkey solution that can be deployed quickly and easily.”
Echoworx Secure Mail users simply download a plug-in that provides the encryption function right on the desktop. A new “Secure” button will appear in the compose screen of their email software, and the subscriber can send encrypted email messages to anyone, including non-subscribers of the service. In addition, Secure Mail for the Enterprise delivers an intuitive Administration Console, which gives organizations the ability to easily manage and administer its Secure Mail users.
The Echoworx Archiving Agent is immediately available in the United States and Europe. All inquiries to this offer are invited to contact Alfonso Licata, EVP Worldwide Sales, Echoworx licata@echoworx.com.
