"Real-time communications place enterprises at greater risk if not managed proactively and in a timely manner. Most enterprises have realised this danger and understand they need formal policies to keep their digital resources protected. Sigaba has a wealth of solutions to keep such enterprises secured."

What makes Sigaba an Info Security "Hot Company" 2006

Products & Technologies

There are a myriad of technologies available in the secure messaging industry; however, customers have found these solutions to be non-deployable for various reasons. Sigaba’s award-winning and patented technology has been field-proven for over five years and is easily deployable and usable for real-world business communications. In addition, Sigaba addresses all the required elements of message security, and goes further by building in enterprise scalability and manageability. The true value of Sigaba's technology lies in the ease with which an organization can implement, manage, and control secure messaging, both internally and externally.

Sigaba's secure messaging solutions provide rock-solid security for receipt of messages, flexible end-to-end encryption, mutual authentication, message management, anti-virus options and the best anti-spam solution available. Robust enterprise control includes strong content filtering, auditing, centralized policy management, message archiving and control over messages, and workflow management. In addition, Sigaba is the only secure messaging solution provider to support Federated Authentication —delivery of secure messaging to dynamic communities of trust-- which is increasingly important to both our enterprise and government customers.

Some other benefits of Sigaba’s unique technology include:

• Accommodates Heterogeneous Authentication Environments - Sigaba solutions are authentication-agnostic, allowing enterprises to use the appropriate level of security for a given application. Sigaba is the only solution available that can seamlessly integrate PKI and non-PKI environments, for an easy-to-deploy and manage security infrastructure.

• Scales to Enterprise Level - Sigaba’s architecture is designed to manage authentication separately from security. This provides that ability to easily scale security to everyone in the organization, without impacts to identity management systems or policies.

• Enables Secure Collaboration - Whether it’s collaborating with business partners on a new product, sending privacy information covered by regulatory constraints, synchronizing military strategies between allied countries, or negotiating a merger, Sigaba’s secure applications and platform provide the strongest, most reliable, and easiest to manage and use solution available today.

• Provides Exacting Audit Trails - Sigaba’s unique architecture requires each recipient to come back to the Key Service to obtain the decryption key, enabling exact, accurate and up-to-the-moment audit trails of every activity for every message.

• Enables Granular Key Control - For the first time, users can control the encryption keys down to individual recipients. If a message was inadvertently sent to the wrong person, the key for just that recipient can be revoked, without impacting any other recipients or any future exchanges. Sigaba audit trai ls can even prove that the recipient was unable to open the message, satisfying regulatory and corporate-governance rules.

• Provides Stronger Security - Because each message is provided with its own unique set of keys, there is no “master key” that represents a high-value target for attackers. In the unlikely event that a key was compromised, only that one message is at risk.

Potential & Strategies

Sigaba is the only provider of secure messaging solutions that is able to separate the authentication and encryption mechanisms in its secure architecture. By doing so, the Sigaba solution allows for all security policies and procedures to be handled at the enterprise level, requiring no action on the part of email users, which enables usable federated authentication, secure document delivery, and a comprehensive audit trail of email messages.
