Perspective(TM) a Finalist for Government Computer News'
Best New Technology Award
WASHINGTON, April 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Plethora Technology(TM)
(http://www.plethoratech.com) will launch a new remote computing product at FOSE 2003
in Washington, DC. Plethora's Perspective(TM) software product is ideal for
telework and telecommuting initiatives and implementation of disaster recovery
and business continuity programs. Perspective is a finalist for Government
Computer News' Best New Technology at FOSE award in the Security Software
category.
Perspective enables secure anytime, anywhere access to any corporate
asset. Coworkers, server-based data and resources, and PC-based files and
applications are all available with a single click. Instant messaging, text
conferencing, file access and exchange, VPN, and remote control of other PCs
are among the specific product features that allow business users to
manipulate and interact with accessed resources. Everything in Perspective
happens within its secure, FIPS-validated encryption architecture. In case of
natural or man-made disaster, businesses can maintain productivity and users
can have real-time access to the same resources that they have available at
the office.
The uniquely powerful security characteristics of Perspective led to its
adoption by the Department of Energy nearly a year ago. Other federal
agencies and Fortune 1000 companies are moving quickly to adopt Perspective
based on new functionality available in Release 3.0.
All the features are available in a single desktop application, which is
automatically downloaded and installed on a user's personal computer. It does
not require investment in expensive network infrastructure or hardware, so it
is cost effective even for small businesses.
"Our firm has offices in four different cities, and expert consultants
throughout the US and overseas," said Richard Hubner, managing principal with
The Sapphire Group, a consulting firm that provides strategic management of
risk to human health and the environment. "We are able to share sensitive
information securely and collaborate with colleagues anywhere, anytime, and we
have noticed a real boost in employee productivity. We were not aware that
secure, common web-based connectivity was possible for a small firm."
Perspective contains Plethora's embedded patent-pending technology,
SecureChannel(TM), which authenticates users and establishes a secure
connection without having to pre-install keys on the client or server
computers. No security-relevant data such as passwords or encryption keys are
ever stored on client PC hard drives or sent across the network. All network
traffic is fully encrypted using a FIPS 140-1 validated encryption algorithm.
All permissions and settings are defined by authorized IT staff on the
Perspective server located at the central office, so the organization controls
which users may connect to the network and what they may do, regardless of
their location. In addition, users have a fully integrated view of local and
server-side files without user setup or the need to map drives, so they can
upload, download, and transfer files to other users simply and securely. With
the remote control feature, collaboration among users in different locations
has never been easier -- or more secure.
