WORKSHARE PREVIEWS GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENT SECURITY TECHNOLOGY AT DEMOfall 2005 "Hygiene" First to Automatically Cure Documents of Dangerous Privacy, Financial, and Intellectual Property Security Risks San Francisco and Huntington Beach, Calif.-September 20, 2005 -Workshare, the leading provider of document integrity solutions, today previewed its simple and powerful cure for document security risks, code-named "Hygiene," at the DEMOfall 2005 conference in Huntington Beach, Calif. Existing approaches, which have tried to eliminate risk by converting, containing or restricting documents, are too complex to implement and too user-disruptive. They have failed to stop massive leakage of financial information, intellectual property and private customer information as documents are exchanged and shared on the Internet, corporate networks and via data storage devices. A first, Workshare Hygiene delivers a highly automated, non-disruptive document security approach that cures documents of content security risks-right from within the office applications, e-mail, Web pages, portals and other software programs that people use every day. Hygiene fixes content security leaks before they happen. If not stopped, these leaks threaten organizations' business integrity and customer privacy protected by a landslide of regulatory initiatives, including CASB 1386, Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. "For years, organizations and security providers have been locking down systems and networks against inbound perimeter security risks, while widely ignoring a silent killer-the trillions of documents that are the lifeblood of virtually every company's day-to-day operations," said Joe Fantuzzi, CEO and chairman at Workshare. "Hygiene is the first security solution to zero in on risks unique to electronic documents, automatically curing documents of dangerous threats without the overwhelming productivity side-effects of other content security approaches." Uniquely, Workshare Hygiene automatically enforces customized and out-of-the-box policies at the endpoints and the network. Hygiene's taxonomy-based diagnostics and identity-based routing automatically diagnose and uniquely cure documents of dangerous security risks. Hygiene warns and educates users about sensitive information and, if authorized, enables them to decide how to treat the document. Workshare Hygiene's centrally-managed policy actively monitors all business documents-checking content, context, and sender and recipient identities-as they are moved onto storage devices, across corporate networks and into the wilds of the Internet. Leveraging a centralized administrative dashboard, security professionals, executives and auditors can also quickly and easily view activity and policy violations. "The vast majority of documents contain sensitive or private information, and they are flying electronically everywhere over the Internet. Combine this with a highly litigious and regulated business environment under CASB 1386, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and other legislative initiatives, and you have a recipe for disaster," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of DEMOfall 2005. "At DEMOfall, Workshare joins an elite group of companies at the forefront of innovation to unveil a powerful and practical solution for tackling privacy and security head-on in dynamic and demanding business environments." After its DEMOfall debut, Hygiene technology will make appearances throughout Workshare solutions shipping in the coming months.
