  PALO ALTO, CA, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 It's one small step for Voltage Security Inc., and one giant leap for the
encryption market. In a breakthrough development, Voltage has launched Voltage
SecureFile(TM) -- the first security software that protects information by
encrypting any file format, wherever it goes and however it is transported.
Powered by Voltage Encryption(TM) (Voltage IBE(TM)), Voltage SecureFile is
theeasiest to use, fastest to deploy, simplest to administer encryption product
available today.

    "Until now, businesses have been caught in a complexity paradox," said Wasim
Ahmad, vice president of marketing at Voltage. "They need to protect customer
confidentiality, secure their business assets, and mitigate the risk of
information breaches and data loss. But traditional encryption products are too
complex for everyday use. Voltage SecureFile changes the rules of the game,
protecting files anywhere, anytime -- regardless of their location."

    Specifically, Voltage SecureFile offers:


--  Persistent information encryption for desktop files, batch files and
    documents -- regardless of where they're located
--  Encryption of files within Web collaboration portals, and continued
    protection of those files even when they exit the portal
--  Integration with collaboration group policies -- ensuring dynamic
    access rights remain fully enforced
--  Integration with Microsoft Office 2007 -- providing in-place document
    encryption leveraging Microsoft IRM (Information Rights Management),
    enabling you to create a persistent set of access controls that live with
    the content, rather than a specific network location
    

    
With these capabilities in mind, Voltage SecureFile protects sensitive company
information -- such as roadmaps, financial documents, forecasts, HR
information and other intellectual property. Voltage SecureFile also
safeguards documents as they travel between business partners such as
saleschannels, supply chains, outsourcers, contractors and partners.

    Voltage SecureFile is the rare solution that offers user simplicity
coupledwith an unmatched breadth of capabilities. It protects information for
the
individual desktop user and via a command line for applications, but also
scales to safeguard documents inside collaborative environments such as
IBMLotus Quickr and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Moreover, Voltage
SecureFile
can be deployed either on premise or as a managed service -- offering
flexibility to businesses of all sizes.

    Said Michael Clarage, CTO of Waltham, MA-based Concentrica, a company
specializing in clinical document delivery: "Voltage SecureFile gives us
confidence that our customer's information is safe and secure, no matter where
it goes or how it gets there. The risk and danger of information falling into
the
wrong hands is mitigated. Encryption is a non-negotiable 'must have' for
electronic
health data, and Voltage SecureFile enables us to meet HIPAA compliance
requirements."

    "Companies have an implicit contract to protect the private information of
their customers," said Mike Rothman, president, Security Incite. "Regardless of
regulatory mandates, protecting customer data is the right thing to do. The
easiest way to make happy customers into former customers is to violate their
trust. So the impetus is on security professionals to control customer data
in a transparent and secure fashion, especially as new file types,
collaboration environments, and application architectures like SOA take root."

    Unlike competitive offerings that have complex key management or password
management schemes, or are limited to securing certain file types, transport
mechanisms or file locations, Voltage SecureFile is easy to use with any
file, no matter where it goes or how it gets there.

    SECURITY AS A SERVICE

    Voltage SecureFile is the first and only file encryption solution powered by
a
managed security service, the Voltage Security Network (VSN). Voltage's
commitment to managed services and security as a service (SaaS) comes at a
critical time. According to The Wall Street Journal Online, "a whopping 39%
of companies with 500 to 999 employees said [software as a service] was
their preferred model for buying software-by far the largest of any model."
Together, Voltage SecureFile and the Voltage Security Network fulfill heightened
customer demand for security solutions delivered through managed services and
SaaS.

    The comprehensive yet easy-to-deploy Voltage SecureFile product
family
includes:


--  Voltage SecureFile Client, for file encryption at the desktop
--  Voltage SecureFile for IBM(R) Lotus(R) Quickr(TM), bringing
    information encryption to documents within the Lotus collaboration
    environment
--  Voltage SecureFile CL, for batch encryption of files
--  Voltage SecureFile for Voltage Security Network, for file encryption
    through managed services
