Egress Announces Technology Partnership with Global SaaS Provider MXSweep

Egress Software Technologies, an innovator in secure collaboration, announced today a technology partnership with SaaS provider MXSweep to incorporate email encryption into their service portfolio. With over 3,000 customers in 16 countries across the globe, MXSweep provides an extensive range of on-demand security services that includes email security, email content control & compliance, email disaster recovery, email & file archiving, and web and mobile security.

“Customer requirements are constantly evolving to meet the demands of modern day business. To satisfy these demands we remain committed to forming new partnerships that expand our capacity to offer integrated best practice internet security & compliance services,” said Ed Grant, CEO for MXSweep. “Now that we are in a position to offer email encryption, MXSweep remains well placed to help clients comply with privacy legislation and reduce unnecessary data loss.”

Leveraging an extensive network of certified partners, MXSweep offers this market leading subscription service to its SME, corporate, and public sector customers.

“We are excited to have established a strategic partnership with MXSweep and are confident that our award winning secure collaboration service will be well received alongside the additional security services on offer,” said Tony Pepper, CEO for Egress Software Technologies. “By working together, we can help customers prevent third parties from mishandling confidential data and preserve business reputations.”

Offered as a managed service to guarantee rapid deployment and low cost of ownership, Egress Switch enables users to encrypt information with a single click, protecting data wherever it resides. Pepper continues, “Our rapidly growing customer base pays tribute to the innovation behind our patent protected software. Operating in a market defined by compliance yet driven by convenience, Switch continues to prove that security can be embedded into day-to-day business communication without the need to install costly infrastructure.”

Egress Switch offers complete protection of outbound data regardless of file size or transport mechanism. Using AES 256-bit encryption, Switch secures confidential information sent by email, copied to USB removable media, burnt to CD/DVD, or uploaded to FTP/Cloud Servers. Access privileges can then be modified or revoked in real-time, even after the information is sent or shared. This allows users to instantly ‘pull information back’ should there be evidence that data has been lost or mishandled.

Egress Switch also offers data classification and customisable disclaimer notifications, making email encryption, media encryption, and large file transfer more secure and easier than ever. This next generation level of control, combined with integrated workflow features, mitigates the risk of unintentional data loss and enforces recipient responsibility when handling confidential information.
