Email is now the medium of communication for businesses around the world. However, despite its standard and trusted use by corporate enterprises, this mission-critical channel is inherently insecure. From the time a sender opens her email application to compose an email to the time the recipient reads the email message--there are numerous points where the confidentiality, integrity, and privacy of a communication can be compromised. This is especially concerning when one considers the possible loss of confidential memos, intellectual property and trade secrets all of which could devastate a company if they are exposed unexpectedly.
In July, 2004, California's Contra Costa County was shocked to find out that copies of hundreds of internal email messages containing financial data and private employee information have been inadvertently sent from this local government agency to a Swedish company over the past two years. By setting up a secure email system with outbound rules and identity authorization checks this scenario could have been avoided.
In order to protect sensitive corporate information, enterprises are moving to secure email systems for trusted communication. Many are turning to Voltage to provide a secure communication channel that's easy to use and manage, transparent to the end-user, and enables security across a variety of channels controlled under a single policy framework.
By utilizing Voltage's Secure Messaging platform corporate enterprises are optimizing communication and finding:
- Secure delivery, receipt, and storage of market strategy, product pricing, legal matters, design plans, product roadmaps, research documents, compensation, stock options, and performance evaluation messages
- Elimination of internal email sabotage
- Faster two way trusted customer and partner communication
The issues for enterprises are clear: protection of business critical data and compliance drive the immediate need for a solution to secure their communication. Moreover, with sensitive information increasingly being exchanged with partners through the extended enterprise network, company communication must now be protected both inside and outside the organization.
According to Tony Perkins, the Founder of AlwaysOn, "Voltage has created a revolutionary breakthrough in cryptography that advances the art beyond Public Key Infrastructure (PKI. Its Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) is a completely new approach to the problem of encryption, enabling data to be protected without the need for certificates and other costly infrastructure."
Voltage won the "New Company Innovator of the Year Award" from Always0n and KPMG LLP earlier this year.
