WORKSHARE JOINS SECUREIT ALLIANCE
Workshare Brings Leading Secure Content Compliance Solutions to Partner Community
Dedicated to Innovative Security Products and Services for the Microsoft Platform
San Francisco—May 8, 2006 - Workshare today announced that it has joined the SecureIT Alliance, a community of industry leading partners dedicated to developing and enhancing security solutions for the Microsoft platform. As a member of the SecureIT Alliance, Workshare will help drive customer awareness of available security products and solutions for Microsoft applications and develop new strategic partnerships for innovative solutions.
“As security leaks concern businesses and government organizations worldwide, the SecureIT Alliance welcomes Workshare’s insight and expertise on content security solutions to our community to help address these threats head on,” said Gerry Albert, program manager of SecureIT Alliance. “We look forward to having Workshare join our Alliance bringing new partnership opportunities that further expand the reach of security solutions for Microsoft environments.”
The SecureIT Alliance is a Web-community designed to increase customer awareness of available security products, solutions and strategic partnerships. In addition to offering an informational resource for IT security professionals, including a directory of products and services, SecureIT Alliance members also invest in developer collaboration through a private Web-portal for interactive communications covering product design, development and testing in security areas.
“Business content is dirty and dangerous, and organizations are leaking confidential information every day over the wilds of the Internet,” said Joe Fantuzzi, CEO of Workshare. “Recent high profile gaffes, from the U.N. to The White House to Merck and Google, prove even the most ‘secure’ organizations are vulnerable to leaking sensitive information over email and other electronic channels. The SecureIT Alliance is a strategic partnership that will drive awareness and adoption of Workshare’s secure content compliance solutions.”
Workshare delivers a unique combination of integrated approaches to effectively prevent widespread privacy breaches, intellectual property leakage and inadvertent financial disclosure that often result from dirty and dangerous content. Workshare Protect Enterprise is both an end point and network product which can alert users to risks in content before it is shared, block content according to set policies in the solution, and finally cure content by removing risky information in the document or transmission.
The Workshare Protect Enterprise Suite ensures outbound content compliance, checking content, context and sender, recipient, channel and device identities in order to ensure policy compliance over corporate networks and onto the Internet. The suite consists of Workshare’s award-winning Protect client, already installed at more than 1,000 organizations worldwide, the Workshare Policy Manager, and the Workshare Network Protect gateway.
