Comprehensive Messaging Security Solution Allows Businesses to Communicate
Sensitive Information with Built-In Encryption; Aids Compliance Efforts with
Data Privacy Regulations
GULF BREEZE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
AppRiver LLC, a leading provider of e-mail messaging solutions, today announced
the company has partnered with Voltage Security, Inc., a global leader in
information encryption. By adding the Voltage Security Network, a
software-as-a-service (SaaS) proprietary e-mail encryption technology solution,
to AppRiver`s line of managed e-mail services, AppRiver now equips businesses of
all sizes with powerful data protection for internal and external electronic
communication. 

Given the mounting pressures organizations today are facing to better safeguard
the transmission and storage of sensitive data, from government-issued data
privacy regulations to mandatory state encryption laws, companies need to look
closely at how they implement data protection methods across their extended
business partner network. 

Together, AppRiver and Voltage Security effectively address these demands.
AppRiver offers a comprehensive, yet affordable, subscription-based line of SaaS
offerings that incorporate the latest anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-phishing,
anti-spyware and anti-malware Web services to protect networks from multi-vector
security threats. Integrated with the existing AppRiver infrastructure, and
delivered through AppRiver`s seasoned SaaS delivery platform, the Voltage
SecureMail encryption system enables end-to-end, content level encryption of
e-mail, mobile messages, files and documents. 

"The Voltage Security and AppRiver partnership provides the ideal combination of
online services and privacy solutions to address today`s data protection
demands," said Wasim Ahmad, vice president of marketing, Voltage Security. "We
are excited to work with AppRiver because of their knowledge and expertise at
delivering SaaS solutions to the small and medium enterprise market." 

From the end user perspective, organizations need to make secure business e-mail
communication as easy as traditional e-mail, without a lot of additional steps.
Non-technical users need to easily send secure messages with the click of a
single button. AppRiver`s hosted application delivery and Voltage`s patented
e-mail encryption technology removes complexity to the point where sending a
secure message is as easy as pressing the "Send" button. In addition,
organizations avoid costly start-up and equipment fees, can use the encryption
service "on-demand," and enjoy a pay-as-you-go experience, which is an important
advantage of the SaaS model. 

The combined solution includes the following capabilities:

* Ensures protection of confidential information and regulatory compliance while
enabling the efficient continuation of business processes 
* Enables easy-to-use protection of e-mail traffic to any user, with no client
software required 
* Requires minimal operational overhead, eliminates message or key storage 
* Scales to the largest enterprise and integrates with existing technology
investments, including content filtering and identity management solutions 
* Eases administration through centralized management and reporting, even across
multiple datacenters

"Internet headaches are growing in number and complexity," said Michael Murdoch,
CEO, AppRiver. "Voltage brings to the table impressive cryptography innovations,
and by partnering with them, AppRiver is continuing to offer our clients an
elite method for securely sending and receiving confidential information without
breaking the bank. All messages, files and documents moving through the e-mail
channel are secured end-to-end, remaining private both in transit and on the
mail server." 

AppRiver`s e-mail encryption services are offered at $5.95 per user per month.
