Titus Labs, a leading provider of email and document classification software, today announced the release of Titus Labs Message Classification (TMC) 3.0. TMC 3.0 is an easy to use e-mail labelling solution that ensures Microsoft Outlook e-mail is classified before it is sent. Large enterprise customers, government, and military agencies can easily classify, protect, search and retrieve e-mails with data classification labels and metadata.
Says Sean Glansbeek, MD of Seven Days Technologies: “With numerous high-profile incidents of e-mails accidentally being sent to the wrong recipient or sensitive e-mail being leaked inadvertently, organisations require practical solutions that educate end-users while enforcing security policy.”
A recent survey conducted by Storage Expo indicates that managing and discovery data could be costing organisations up to $2 000 000 per terabyte. The survey also concluded that of those companies classifying information, 67% were classifying in order to better control access to sensitive information.
The Titus Labs Message Classification solution classifies and labels e-mail at the desktop based on the organisation's policies. Labels help raise awareness to the sensitivity of the information and metadata can be used to check recipient clearance and ensure e-mails and documents are sent to the right individuals both inside and outside the enterprise.
Carefully designed and tested for deployment across large enterprise, government and military agencies, TMC is utilised by nearly one million users worldwide to help prevent inadvertent data loss.
“The pervasive nature of e-mail makes inadvertent information leakage a reality for most organisations, said Tim Bloechl, Managing Director, Worldwide Public Safety and National Security at Microsoft. “TMC offers seamless integration with Outlook so all e-mail communications can be quickly and easily labelled, and if required, another level of security can be added using Microsoft Rights Management Services. The end result is a complete solution to address the security and information protection needs of organisations handling sensitive information.”
Classification is vital to ensure that data does not fall into the wrong hands, security protocols are met and to facilitate enterprise-wide search, retrieval and discovery. By using TMC 3.0, organisations have the power to:
* Raise user awareness and accountability
* Reduce inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information
* Comply with internal and regulatory classification policies
* Ensure adoption of security technologies
* Improve eDiscovery and archiving
TMC 3.0 new product features, benefits
The latest version of TMC is designed to reduce the complexity of labelling and classifying e-mails. It helps add structure to data and helps meet the stringent security policies for information life cycle management. Features in TMC 3.0 include:
* Classification Selector: Prompts users to classify all e-mails, meeting requests, and tasks, enabling organisations to enforce their classification policies in a simple, non-intrusive way.
* Label Marker: Applies visual markings in the e-mail subject line and message body to clearly identify and raise awareness to the sensitivity of the information.
* Metadata Generator: Creates metadata that can be used to enhance archiving, data loss prevention (DLP), and perimeter security solutions.
* Policy Verifier: Inspects the e-mail for policy violations before the message leaves the desktop, and provides instant feedback so that the sender can correct any problems.
* Security Enabler: Adds an extra layer of security by automatically encrypting, signing, or RMS-protecting sensitive e-mails. (This optional feature requires S/MIME certificates or Microsoft Rights Management Services.)
* Administration Tool: Enables organisations to centrally configure and deploy their classification labels and policies, including support for government classification guidelines such as CAPCO, CUI, ITAR, UK GPMS and the Australian E-Protective Marking Standard.
“Several high-profile cases of e-mail breaches have been in the news lately,” said Charlie Pulfer, Vice-President of Marketing and Product Management at Titus Labs. “The current regulatory and security climate holds organisations of all sizes to a higher standard than ever before. Titus Labs Message Classification 3.0 enables organisations to create a culture where the value of information in e-mail is clearly understood, and where automated policy will help prevent data loss.”
