Data Security Software

Save and send files securely from Microsoft Office with SaveSecure®SecureZIP’s integration with Microsoft Office allows you to save zipped and encrypted files directly to your storage media from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. By simply selecting “Save as Secure ZIP File,” your files are compressed and encrypted automatically.

SecureZIP’s integration with Microsoft Office and Outlook also allows users to send zipped and encrypted files as email attachments directly from Office applications.

Maintain control of organizational data*Files that have been encrypted must remain accessible to an organization. When end-users are given the ability to encrypt sensitive data, SecureZIP’s contingency key capabilities ensure that whatever is encrypted is accessible for audit or data recovery purposes.

Contingency key processing ensures SecureZIP customers can meet the need of auditors, compliance officers, or regulators to inspect or recover encrypted data - even if a passphrase is forgotten or a decryption key lost - while still strongly protecting the data.

Extend Security to Mobile DevicesSecureZIP Reader extends the strong security and enterprise benefits of SecureZIP to mobile devices. It enables seamless user workflow on mobile devices while allowing IT Administrators to enforce policy and respond to an audit by having access to encrypted data sent to mobile devices.

Includes easily deployable digital certificate* SecureZIP makes acquiring and using a digital certificate simple, allowing you to exchange files and emails securely. Upon installation, SecureZIP will automatically request and install (if desired) a digital certificate from one of the industry’s leading certificate authorities, Comodo®.

Once a user’s digital certificate is installed, people can send protected files and emails, securing them with the recipient’s public key. Once the secure communication is received, SecureZIP uses the recipient’s private key for decryption. Digital certificates and timestamping are also used for signing, which assures recipients that the communication can be trusted.

Note: SecureZIP Enterprise Edition includes a free digital certificate with a license purchase of up to 200 users.

The SecureZIP Global Directory is a depository of public keys for SecureZIP users, making it easy to send secure files with digital certificates. When a secure email is sent using a digital certificate, SecureZIP checks the Directory for the public key associated with the recipient’s email address. If the recipient doesn’t have a digital certificate, the message can still be secured with a passphrase.

How does a digital certificate work?Digital certificates attest to the identity of a person and are usually associated with an email address and a key pair, referred to as public and private key. A public key is used to encrypt and a private key is used to decrypt. When someone sends a message or file, they use the recipient’s public key to encrypt it.

When the message or file is received, the recipient’s private key automatically decrypts it. A private key is also used to “sign,” or authenticate a message or file to ensure that a recipient knows it came from a trusted sender.

Centrally administer security policies*SecureZIP’s policy manager functionality enables organizations to lock down encryption controls to reflect their data security policies and practices in a manner that users cannot circumvent.

Administrators can create and manage multiple SecureZIP policies via the familiar Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This provides more flexibility with less effort, ensuring organizational encryption policies are adhered to.

Encrypt files using passphrases, PKI, or bothSecureZIP data security software supports both passphrase- and PKI-based encryption, offering flexible security that meets varying requirements within business environments. In comparison to passphrases, PKI offers higher levels of security, is easier to use, and allows secure communication with larger numbers of recipients. Passphrases provide a good alternative when someone doesn’t have PKI.

In addition, when run in “FIPS mode,” SecureZIP allows government agencies and their business partners to meet FIPS 140-2 compliance requirements by protecting sensitive data using crytographic modules.

Automatically compress and secure emails and attachmentsSecureZIP integrates with Microsoft Outlook; emails and attachments sent using this application are secured automatically or on an individual basis. Users can also re-encrypt messages and attachments when forwarding emails to others.

In addition, SecureZIP’s advanced compression reduces file size, eliminating the problems associated with sending large email attachments that exceed mail system size limits. Sending secure emails is simple: write an email, attach files, and with a click of a button users can quickly and efficiently send secure messages.
