Axway Fights Accidental Employee Data Leaks with New Hosted Messaging Encryption Solution Including True Message Recall

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Axway, leading global provider of multi-enterprise solutions and infrastructure, has launched a hosted offering of its leading Secure Messenger messaging encryption platform, now including true message recall functionality. Customers now have access to hosted encryption for data in motion, driven by robust, policy-based content filtering, running in a dedicated environment at a secure hosting facility.

According to a recent Information Week and Dark Reading report, "Understanding the Insider Threat," some 52 percent of business technology and security professionals are more concerned about the possibility of internal data leaks – both accidental and malicious – than they are about external threats.

Axway’s Hosted Secure Messenger offering guards against accidental employee data leaks via encrypted email, which Axway also offers in software and hardware versions of Secure Messenger (formerly Tumbleweed Secure Messenger). The solution incorporates true message recall into the end-user interface that allows the immediate recall of undelivered sent messages.

"Accidental employee data leaks continue to plague companies around the world and accidental or not, these leaks now signify fines for the companies responsible," said Joe Fisher, vice president of product and solution marketing, Axway. "We have incorporated a true "oops button" into our encryption offerings, integrated with our policy-based filtering, so companies can protect well-meaning employees when they make honest mistakes."

Hosted Secure Messenger offers streamlined central policies to enforce message filtering based on content, sender, or recipient, and will take effective action according to policy such as block, report, notify managers, or automatically encrypt sensitive messages. Most content monitoring and filtering products require complex categorization of all data within an organization and are limited to reporting on violations or blocking traffic – interrupting legitimate business. Secure Messenger’s streamlined policies have made content filtering and encryption processes for data like credit card and social security numbers and CUSIP (banking/trading) numbers into an easy-to-use "checkbox" process.

Data protection mandates are being enacted around the world, exposing companies to fines and legal liability for data breaches due to lax security around individuals’ personal information. With these fines and requirements, the need to deploy outbound policy-based encryption for sensitive data is vital, as encryption will ensure adherence with these mandates. Hosted Secure Messenger enables companies to address these requirements with lower upfront and ongoing costs.
