Sigaba Announces Strategic Channel Partnership With Network Security Services

Posted on: Monday, 13 February 2006, 09:00 CST

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Sigaba, the leading provider of private information sharing solutions, today announced a strategic channel partnership with Network Security Services. The collaborative agreement will enable the value-added reseller to deliver Sigaba's outbound content control solutions to their financial customers via the SigabaNet(TM) architecture.

In order to fulfill increasing regulatory security requirements for its customers, both at the federal and state level, Network Security Services needed a more robust platform that is easy to use and simple to deploy. The Sigaba Secure Email solution exceeded these requirements, and provided Network Security Services with a comprehensive and scalable private information sharing solution platform, through their SigabaNet(TM) architecture.

"With the ever-tighter regulatory controls over banking and financial institutions, we needed to find a secure messaging solution that could not only be easily implemented today, but could grow with our customers' needs in the future," said Glenn Kramer, president of Network Security Systems. "Hacker attacks have grown more targeted and sophisticated, requiring our financial and banking customers to adopt a stronger, more highly-developed solution to protect their business communications. The SigabaNet(TM) platform provides our customers with a sophisticated messaging solution that keeps them secure and allows them to remain competitive."

Because Sigaba provides a standards-based security platform, customers are assured confidentiality, integrity, auditability and non-repudiation. Its private information sharing solutions are mature and proven and widely-deployed by many of the nation's largest financial and health care institutions. Sigaba also has a dominant presence in the global public sector, aiding in the international war on terrorism.

"Financial institutions have extensive communication systems with demanding security requirements. Large banks are no longer the only targets for hackers, they are now seeking out smaller and potentially more vulnerable institutions," said Rodger Kobayashi, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Sigaba. "Our private information solutions provide Network Security Services' financial and banking customers a low-cost alternative to paper communication that ensures secure and timely delivery of sensitive data."

Sigaba's secure applications are built on the SigabaNet(TM) architecture, which is based on current and emerging standards. With its breakthrough patented key server technology, Sigaba removes the hurdles of other secure messaging approaches like PKI, IBE, or Web linkback. Sigaba Secure Email(TM), Sigaba Secure Statements(TM), Sigaba Secure IM(TM), and Sigaba Secure Messaging for Mobile Devices(TM) all enjoy the baseline secure messaging features of this architecture.
