Workshare Launches GLBA Compliant Unified Content Protection (UCP) Suite

(Oct 23, 2007)-- Workshare, released Workshare UCP Suite 6, the security industry's first Unified Content Protection (UCP) solution. Workshare UCP Suite 6 delivers endpoint, gateway and management system modules, and a framework of tools that include full disk encryption, USB security, secure PDF, data discovery, fingerprinting and more.Centralized policies control egress points using advanced detection technologies that analyze content risk.

The solution interacts with users of business applications including Microsoft Office, Lotus Notes, and most
Document Management Systems (DMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. The secure perimeter has evolved into a perimeter-less world that requires collaboration between business entities to stay competitive. As a result, sensitive customer information, intellectual property, and confidential corporate data are spreading outside of an organization via email, portals, on laptops and USB drives and smart phones.

Driven by breach notification laws and regulations, enterprises are under pressure to control content in use, in flight and at rest to reduce the risk of a data breach. De-perimeterization requires a security strategy that controls and protects information, not just networks, and at every point of egress across endpoints and gateways. The device has become the perimeter.

Workshare UCP Suite 6 delivers a security strategy for a perimeter-less world that controls and protects information while ensuring that protection begins with the creation of data and remains intact throughout the entire content lifecycle. A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Workshare titled "Information Leak Prevention" found that respondents would prefer automatically applying policy to just-created
documents or warning document creators of policy implications over scanning already existing data for policy violations.

Workshare's UCP Suite 6 leverages Workshare's experience with 6,000 existing customers, and its Microsoft relationship (Microsoft ISV Partner of the Year for 2007.) Working individually, or as a whole, tools within the suite help organizations of all sizes, from small and medium business, to global enterprises, conform to information security policies and assure compliance with government and industry regulations such as the Heath Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security, plus US State, EU and Japan Privacy Acts.

Before Workshare UCP Suite 6, organizations were faced with purchasing and supporting disjoint products and policy systems. Workshare's open, extensible platform enables ISV and channel partners to integrate their
applications and provide value-added services within Workshare's unified policy and detection framework. This approach enables customers to leverage best of breed Workshare and third-party tools without the cost, time and inaccuracy when marrying policies across various point products.
