Highlights:

The entire suite consists of Workshare’s award winning Protect client, already installed at more than 1,000 organizations worldwide, the Workshare Policy Manager, and the new Workshare Network Protect gateways—all of which work independently and together to deliver the right cure, at the right time, and in the right place without crippling existing business processes.  

• Workshare Protect client: Workshare’s market leading and award winning client educates users as it enforces content security policy. Working both online and offline, the Protect client removes risky content, converts information to appropriate formats, and applies content rights. Rather than simply stopping business, Protect’s rich client warns and educates users in real-time about sensitive information and, if authorized, lets them decide how to treat the content.

• Workshare Policy Manager: The new Workshare Policy Manager delivers complete visibility into activity at both endpoints and network egress points and offers pre-packaged, customized policy packs delivering out of the box enforcement for a wide variety of security and compliance concerns.

• Workshare Network Protect: Workshare’s new network channel gateways provides IT security staff with visibility and policy enforcement into content leaving the organization via network channels such as HTTP and SMTP. By deploying Network Protect, organizations can audit and control outbound network traffic.

The Workshare Protect Enterprise Suite’s Identity-based Routing monitors all business documents, checking content, context and sender, recipient, channel and device identities as they are moved across corporate networks and onto the Internet. Protect then automatically cures content by cleansing metadata, removing violations, enforcing Office RMS rights, and converting to secure PDF—even delivering instant, real-time alerts to users as they work that signal potentially dangerous data or actions that could violate policy or regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and CASB 1386.  

End-Users: Large, medium and small global enterprises, SMB market, individuals.
