SAN JOSE, CALIF. (RSA CONFERENCE - Booth 2037) -
February 15, 2006 - FaceTime Communications, the leading
provider of solutions for securing IM, P2P and spyware Greynets,
today announced new partnerships with Tablus and PortAuthority
Technologies to add increased security against content leakage to
its flagship FaceTime Enterprise Edition™ solution. The two
companies join FaceTime's Greynet Security Partners (GSP) Program
as charter members with an information and content leakage focus,
and will provide joint FaceTime customers with essential
fingerprinting technologies needed to identify and prevent
confidential information from inappropriately leaving the
organization. "Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer networks, Skype,
Spyware and other Greynets represent the largest, uncontrolled
avenues for the loss of sensitive corporate information," said
Srini Gurrapu, Senior Director of Security Products for FaceTime
Communications. "Without the visibility, management and control of
Greynets, organizations are at risk of information and intellectual
property being easily leaked over these networks." Sensitive
information such as personal credit information as specified by the
PCI payment card industry standard, personal health information
(PHI), corporate intellectual property, customer data, and login
credentials can easily expose the organization to business risks
and non-compliance. The new relationships with PortAuthority
Technologies and Tablus will provide customers with integrated
solutions for complete visibility and prevention of information
leaks over all popular Internet channels including Web, IM, P2P,
and email. FaceTime will actively collaborate with the program
participants for a deeper level integration of their respective
technologies utilizing standards-based methods such the Internet
Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) to bring integrated solutions to
market. "Enterprises and government agencies are using
PortAuthority to prevent leaks of private data and confidential
information across multiple communication channels," said Raj
Dhingra, vice president of Product Management and Marketing at
PortAuthority Technologies. "By aligning with FaceTime
Communications, our joint customers can now reduce their data
security risk by accurately stopping sensitive information leaks
across instant messaging channels. With PortAuthority 4.0 and
FaceTime Enterprise Edition, companies can confidently use
enterprise-wide instant messaging while keeping the bad stuff out
and the good stuff in." "Tablus participation in FaceTime's Greynet
Security Partners program is a direct response to customer
requests," said Vince Barboni, Tablus' vice president of Business
Development. "When considering the direct correlation between the
growing risk of sensitive information loss - for data at rest, in
use and in motion - and the increased use of Greynet communication
channels, the relationship between Tablus and FaceTime became a
natural fit." IM, P2P and spyware applications are part of a
category of networked applications that FaceTime calls 'Greynets.'
Greynets are network-enabled applications that are installed on an
end user's system without permission from IT and are highly evasive
to existing security infrastructure. FaceTime Enterprise Edition
provides customers with comprehensive visibility & control,
unified threat management, information leak prevention, and
compliance for growing Greynet channels in the enterprise. FaceTime
has built the industry's most comprehensive ecosystem of partners
to provide customers with the best solutions available for securing
and managing Greynets in the enterprise. FaceTime solutions now
integrate with products from more than (30) leading vendors, giving
customers unprecedented security, flexibility, and management of
IM, P2P and other real-time applications. FaceTime is committed to
adding value to our products and services through strategic
partners with other leading vendors. For more information on
