AppRiver Teams With Voltage Security to Add On-Demand Encryption to its
Cloud Offerings

Comprehensive Messaging Security Solution Allows Businesses to Communicate Sensitive Information with Built-In Encryption; Aids Compliance Efforts with Data Privacy Regulations

GULF BREEZE, FL—April 07, 2009—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 email 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 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.  Voltage manages all the hardware and software necessary to encrypt message content within its Voltage Security Network using Identity-Based Encryption (IBE).  

“The Voltage Security and AppRiver partnership provides the ideal combination of online services and privacy solutions to address today’s data protection demands,” said Ingrum Putz, director of online products and services, 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.”
