Messaging Architects and PostX Announce Partnership to Provide the Industry's First eDirectory Enabled, Cross-Platform Encryption and Email Compliance Solution
Messaging Architects' Adaptive Guardian Email Firewall will include the PostX PXMail encryption technology for secure content delivery for Novell GroupWise, Lotus Notes & Microsoft Exchange.
Cupertino, Calif. & BrainShare, Salt Lake City – March 21, 2006 – PostX, the leader in the delivery of encrypted email communications for businesses and consumers, and Messaging Architects, a leading developer of directory-based solutions which address the need for policy, security and compliance in the corporate messaging infrastructure announced a global partnership to provide an added layer of policy-based security to its Adaptive Guardian Email Firewall.
Organizations in the health care, education, government and financial sectors all need to ensure the integrity and privacy of their email communications as these often involve confidential information. This partnership dramatically simplifies the end-to-end process of providing a secure conduit for email by integrating it into Guardian’s comprehensive SMTP security framework. Guardian already leverages the power of Novell’s eDirectory platform and now enables System Administrators to seamlessly define and manage usage and encryption policies and profiles within existing management applications directly from within Novell’s eDirectory.
"The ever-increasing number of email users at health care institutions and government agencies has always been a massive challenge for IT Administrators. They have a constant flow of new users that need to be provisioned and managed within the framework of regulatory compliance,” said Chief Executive Officer of Messaging Architects, Pierre Chamberland. “Adding PostX’s SecureEmail for encrypted and secure messaging to Guardian delivers a scalable and secure solution for secure email policy creation, deployment and enforcement – it’s what we call Identity-Based Messaging.”
PostX's SecureEmail, enabled by the PostX Messaging Application Platform (MAP), provides customers an easy-to-use, intuitive and cost-effective solution for enterprise-class security and policy enforcement. SecureEmail offers the most powerful encryption solution and is the the only solution to support all the principal forms of secure delivery, including PostX Envelopes (Secure push), PostX WebSafe (Secure Web-based messaging), OpenPGP, S/MIME and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
All of the content scanning and encryption functions are handled directly by Guardian Server at the edge of the network, ensuring that all of the messages that are sent or received by the messaging server are stored in clear text. This is a requirement of all compliance regulations and is far more effective than deploying client based plug-ins that are expensive and difficult to own or manage.
"Using layered email security solutions from multiple vendors becomes complex and the possibility of creating conflicting policies is a very real problem,” said Scott Olechowski, Vice President of Business Development for PostX. “The eDirectory integration developed by Messaging Architects virtually eliminates these issues while also providing a far more effective way to deploy PostX enabled encrypted messaging to organizations with thousands of users.”
