[ Johannesburg, 3 October 2008 ] - Companies today have become increasingly reliant on digital communication channels and this trend has resulted in an emergence of complex message security solutions, says Jaap Nieboer, mailstream software solutions manager for Pitney Bowes SA.
The company has unveiled the Sigaba secure messaging solution, which it hopes will provide industries with user-friendly, flexible and secure information-sharing solutions, says Nieboer.
“Sigaba took a holistic approach to create a practical messaging security solution, recognising that the key to a scalable, extensible, expandable and consequently usable solution is to create a robust security infrastructure,” says Nieboer. “This infrastructure serves as the operating system for baseline authentication and data encryption resources.”
Sigaba's secure messaging platform, SigabaNet enables organisations to authenticate users and separately encrypt sensitive data, secure e-mail, instant messaging, document delivery and mobile device messaging.
“The Sigaba secure messaging platform is built on patented key management and authentication services, certified cryptographic libraries and an application set that comprises a broad product family. These include secure e-mail products, secure electronic statements, secure messaging products for mobile devices, secure instant messaging products and secure paging products,” he elaborates.
Sigaba also offers Secure Vault, a secure e-mail product comprising pull technology, where recipients are directed to a Web-based e-mail inbox to view their secure messages, adds Nieboer. Mail recipients receive company-branded clear-text messages in their existing inbox that contains a URL to the Sigaba Secure Vault. On successful authentication, the recipient is presented with their vault inbox for access to the secure messages.
Other secure products include SendAnywhere, which is designed to deliver secured messages to any e-mail inbox, Secure BlackBerry, a secure e-mail product for mobile devices, and Secure Vault Mobile, a secure Web mail application targeted for mobile devices when used in conjunction with Secure Vault.
“Sigaba's patented Key Server technology is the basis for this security operating system. The main differentiator of Key Server from other approaches is that it de-couples authentication and encryption. This results in an impenetrable messaging security solution, which meets today's demanding communications security requirements,” concludes Nieboer.
