Critical Path Inc., a provider of
business-to-business Internet messaging solutions, Tuesday unveiled two
products aimed at ensuring secure digital messaging.
Critical Path’s InScribe Secure File
Services and InCase Certified File Service are designed to enable businesses
and consumers to securely send, store and collaborate on files on any
device through any standard Web browser.
The new services include:
- Web Courier, which enables users to send, forward and receive files of
any type or size with a standard Web browser. The feature tracks file from
point to point, receives confirmation reports with any or all deliveries and
eliminates clogged email inboxes, courier costs and barriers to delivery
caused by firewalls. - Virtual Hard Drive, which allows users to safely store documents in
either private or public folders on the Web and instantly access these files
from any Web browser. The feature aims to eliminate the risks and hassles
inherent in transporting critical files via floppies or Zip disks, and
enables file sharing with virtual teams. - Team Workspace, which is a centralized and secure site for file sharing
and collaboration. Team Workspace is designed to facilitate efficient team
communication and eases project management with built-in version controls,
access privileges, public storage and threaded discussion areas.
Critical Path’s intent is to provide the same level of protection to
digital assets as
paper-based communication, according to Mike Serbinis, chief security
officer.
“Messaging companies need to evolve to the institutional level of a bank
or
post office and take a comprehensive approach to providing secure
messaging,” he said.” Our approach to security involves people, processes
and technology, ensuring the security of electronic communication and
providing the highest standard of care in the world of messaging today.”
