SAN FRANCISCO, April 9, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA CONFERENCE --
BitArmor(TM), a leader in data control software that helps corporate
executives protect and manage sensitive data throughout their
organizations, today announced that it has become a member of Microsoft's
SecureIT Alliance. As a member of the Alliance, BitArmor joins with
information security industry leaders in working together to improve the
protection of business-critical and sensitive data.
Microsoft's SecureIT Alliance is designed to provide members with the
latest Microsoft platform information to assist in the development of
innovative new security solutions. The Alliance supports these objectives:
-- Increase customer awareness of available security products, solutions,
and strategic partnerships;
-- Promote industry partner collaboration to develop new enhanced security
solutions;
-- Provide a private forum for members to receive platform disclosure
information from Microsoft; and
-- Enable a collaborative way to address secure-code best practices,
interoperability, and integration.
BitArmor has taken a leading role in helping companies protect their
corporate-critical data from unauthorized access, both on and off the
network. BitArmor DataControl(TM) provides defense-in-depth data protection
and policy-based data management capabilities for sensitive data on
Windows-based systems, enabling companies to control their data at rest or
in-flight. DataControl, which includes advanced full disk encryption (FDE),
persistent file encryption (PFE), removable media protection as well as
data management capabilities, is designed from the ground up with a focus
on layered security. This has enabled BitArmor to stay ahead of potential
security threats, such as the recently discovered "Cold Boot Attack," as
reported by researchers at Princeton University.
"The entire realm of information security is an industry-wide
challenge, so it makes sense for us to work together," said Gerry Albert,
Managing Director of SecureIT Alliance from Microsoft. "Microsoft continues
to reach out to industry partners such as BitArmor, through the Alliance
and other means, so that we can promote interoperable and secure products
through improved collaboration. We welcome BitArmor's participation in the
Alliance, further expanding the Microsoft security ecosystem."
"Microsoft is to be commended for bringing the industry's top vendors
together to address common security challenges. Emerging threats like Cold
Boot Attacks point out how important it is to remain vigilant and develop
solutions that are secure by design," said McGregor. "We are pleased to be
part of the SecureIT Alliance, and we look forward to collaborating with
this elite group of security companies, and bringing thought leadership and
tangible solutions to pressing security issues."
About BitArmor
BitArmor offers DataControl(TM), powerful new software that provides a
faster, easier, more cost-effective way to protect and manage sensitive
data throughout any organization. Unlike traditional solutions that only
deal with information at specific points in the system, BitArmor
DataControl software takes a defense-in-depth approach, attaching a Smart
Tag(TM) directly to the data itself - a tag that travels with the data and
allows you to secure, track, and control it regardless of where it is
stored or sent. BitArmor helps companies protect valuable data assets,
achieve regulatory compliance, and manage data throughout its functional
lifecycle. More information is available at http://www.bitarmor.com, or by calling
412.682.2200.
