SIGABA SECURE EMAIL FOR BLACKBERRY®

As the popular BlackBerry devices have become essential tools for businesses, governmental agencies, financial institutions and health care providers, the need to ensure that sensitive data is shared securely across any network has grown increasingly urgent. To meet this critical need, Sigaba has extended its unique messaging architecture to the BlackBerry

Now organizations can extend secure messaging to wireless devices to communicate easily with customers, partners, patients and affiliates while complying with regulatory requirements such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

Wireless devices such as BlackBerry have become a mission critical tool for government agencies that require reliable, streamlined communications and information access for mobile users. This need extends from the CIO to emergency operations centers and first responders requiring 100 percent availability in times of crisis. The new Sigaba Secure Email for BlackBerry enables end-to-end protection of sensitive messages sent and received on BlackBerry devices, including messages sent between BlackBerry devices and between BlackBerry devices and email clients such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes.

Sigaba Secure Email for BlackBerry combines proven security with ease of use. While Sigaba meets the strongest requirements for confidentiality and data integrity with standards-based encryption, key distribution and strong authentication, the Sigaba application is comprised of a plug-in that users download and install on their BlackBerry devices. System administrators can enable new users quickly and easily, while maintaining control over messages-even after they have been sent.

The "thin" Sigaba plug-in allows messages to be marked for encryption by the Sigaba Gateway Service. Combined with the encryption capability of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, this assures security for mobile email.

The "thick" plug-in provides unparalleled security by encrypting messages at the handheld device, providing over-the-air encryption between the wireless BlackBerry and the network based BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
