SIGABA SECURE IM™ (Instant Messaging)
Key FeaturesBuilt for the Enterprise
Once used mainly for personal chat, corporate use of “instant messaging” is growing rapidly. As IM is increasingly relied upon in the workplace, the need to secure confidential information must be addressed. Sigaba Secure IM is the first truly secure instant messaging and presence solution built for the enterprise. Sigaba Secure IM allows corporate users to conduct one-to one and secure multi-user conversations from their desktops and other platforms, enabling easy real-time collaboration within and among workgroups, within and beyond the enterprise.
Provides Strongest Security Available for IM
Most IM security products rely on SSL and/or PKI to secure the conversation from origination to destination over the Internet. SSL tunnels leave messages “in the clear” and PKI certificates are so difficult to use that any practical implementation will leave messages vulnerable in at least a few points while en route from originator to recipient. Sigaba Secure IM leverages Sigaba’s ® breakthrough Key Server technology and Sigaba’s Authentication Server.
- IM messages encrypted the entire time they are in transit
- Authentication at both ends of the conversation
- Digital signatures
- Integrity checking
- Secure transcripts
- Anti-virus scanning
- Auditing, archival, indexing and rapid retrieval.
Secure Instant Collaboration
Maintain real-time visibility of people in your “watch list” with
activity monitors. Users can log into the system from several locations.
Sigaba Secure IM’s “Message Following” will utilize
the activity monitor to route messages to the appropriate place, or follow
you from device to device, making sure messages are received.
Secure IM Applet Extends Reach
A unique feature of Sigaba Secure IM is its embeddable Secure IM applet,
which enables organizations to transform a static communication into
a dynamic one. For example, a business might send secure statements with
an embeddable Secure IM applet that links customers to the business’s
customer care center – and enables them to communicate “live” if
they have any questions about a statement.
Digital Signatures
Digitally sign all or portions of conversations for added auditability.
FIPS-Certified
The entire line of Sigaba’s secure solutions is powered by a FIPS
140-2 certified cryptographic library.
KEY BENEFITS
Easy Deployment Leveraging Current InvestmentsSigaba solutions easily integrate into your existing environment. All Sigaba Secure Email components are built on a single integrated platform, our SigabaNet Architecture. Sigaba Secure IM can easily interoperate with Sigaba Secure Email and Sigaba Secure Statements. In addition, we easily interoperate with all legacy authentication mechanisms (not just LDAP), as well as any PKI system you have in place, both at the server and at the desktop. As a result, there’s no need for costly professional services.
Unmatched Flexibility
Only Sigaba gives you the option to secure messages where you want – desktop-to-desktop, gateway-to-gateway, or to virtually anyone, anywhere.
Easy to Manage
Sigaba Secure IM is easy to install and because we integrate with existing authentication mechanisms, there is no need for your administrators to synchronize multiple authentication databases. Administrators can centrally manage the system from a single point, enabling full enterprise control. In addition, Sigaba Secure IM can be deployed in a hosted model or as a completely owned premise-based system – an absolute requirement for enterprise secure messaging systems.
Easy to Use
Sigaba Secure IM is easy to use and the interface is intuitive, ensuring quick adoption. End users can group contacts hierarchically with meaningful names for efficient management.
Assures Compliance
Sigaba Secure IM offers full auditing, logging and archiving capabilities. This ability to record and search conversations acts as an important vehicle for compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
