What is Enterprise Privacy Management? Corporations all round the world face pressure to protect information inside and outside their organizations: email messages to customers, documents sent to auditors, instant messages between brokers, and in the future other forms of digital communication such as Voice Over IP (VOIP). Managing this new world of enterprise privacy requires a new approach in order to apply a consistent set of policies across a broad, complex set of applications. The Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform is the first to enable a single set of security and compliance policies to manage all forms of digital business communication.
Securing the Enterprise
Voltage's Enterprise Privacy Management Platform provides a common framework for applying security and enforcing policies for data flowing inside and outside the enterprise, including email, files, documents, and instant messaging.
The platform consists of the following components:
- Policy and Compliance
- Management
- Voltage SecureMail Server: Identity and Provisioning
- IBE Toolkit
A Common Platform for Enterprise Security
The Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform offers a foundation for securing any type of application or content through IBE. Some examples of IBE-enabled applications are:
Messaging Applications:
The Enterprise Privacy Management Platform provides common services for easily securing email and files. Voltage SecureMail and Voltage SecureFile leverage the Platform to provide award-winning security and usability.
Mobile Applications:
Mobile and wireless applications present new environments that require new security approaches. Click here to learn more about how Siemens is using the Voltage platform to provide robust security for their mobile office@vantageT solution for Windows Mobile for PocketPC.
Embedded Applications:
With no certificates to manage, IBE is uniquely suited for embedded applications such as securing SCADA devices or providing secure communications in tactical networks. Read about how GemPlus is building IBE-based smart cards for secure e-transactions.
Policy and Compliance
To meet internal and regulatory compliance requirements, enterprises must automatically secure sensitive communication based on a set of defined policies. The policy and compliance module of the Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform enables organizations to create a robust set of security policies and ensure that they are enforced throughout the system, across multiple fields of use. Whether sensitive information is sent via email, over instant messaging, or through a document, the Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform enables policy rules to be applied consistently to ensure compliance.
Management Console
As information flows in and out of an organization, the management module of the Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform provides an in-depth view into how security policies are being applied to data. The management console offers a centralized interface for administering all IBE-enabled applications and provides detailed reporting and logging capabilities to help streamline sensitive communication.
Voltage SecureMail Server
The Voltage SecureMail Server is a centrally managed server that enforces security policies for all IBE-enabled products. It provides a common set of identity services, handles the generation and issuance of IBE keys, and manages user provisioning. Through integration modules for interfacing with external identity management systems, the Voltage SecureMail Server supports a variety of authentication services, including self-provisioning mechanisms as well as directory-based systems. The Voltage SecureMail Server is also available as a managed service for high assurance, on-demand security through trusted third-party service providers. Click here to learn more
