Sigaba’s White Paper on Messaging Security
Selected a Winner in Secure Email Category
San Mateo, CA, September 13, 2006 – Sigaba, a leading provider of security software infrastructure and solutions, announced today that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named Sigaba a winner of the 2006 Tomorrow’s Technology Today Award. This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking network security solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security.
Sigaba’s white paper on Messaging Security was selected by the editors of Info Security Products Guide, based on technologies that are making the most positive impact on security in today’s highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.
There are four primary criteria for success in data protection: data encryption security; audit trail of data; low Total Cost of Ownership; and flexibility. The white paper presents the advantages and limitations of several approaches to delivering these criteria, including passwords, public keys, PGP, the Web, and Sigaba’s Key Server approach.
By starting with a holistic view of the problem, Sigaba was able to recognize that the key to a scalable, extensible, expandable and, consequently, a usable solution is to make a security infrastructure. This infrastructure serves as the “operating system” for baseline authentication and data encryption resources. Just as operating systems enable applications to use system resources, the security operating system enables applications to use authentication and encryption resources.
Sigaba’s patented Key Server technology is the basis for this security operating system. The white paper discusses the differentiators of Sigaba Key Server from other approaches, which are centered on the fact that Sigaba Key Server decouples authentication and encryption. This critical distinction by the Sigaba Key Server results in satisfaction of all requirements for a messaging security solution.
“Email is the most prevalent form of communications between a company and its customers and trusted business partners. As such, it provides the biggest exposure to a company’s information,” commented Rick Justice, Chief Editor of Info Security Products Guide. “Besides unparalleled email and content security, Sigaba’s patented technology provides auditing and message tracking, and represents an indispensable asset for compliance with Federal and other privacy mandates.”
“Corporate information is coveted by thieves and vandals of every stripe. Info Security Products Guide’s recognition of Sigaba further validates our approach of enabling industry and government to exchange critical information safely, and confidently, with their colleagues, customers, partners and constituents,” said Edwin Miller, president and CEO of Sigaba. “It is rewarding to be recognized for our excellence-in-class and our ability to communicate our technology strategy.”
