Share:
CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 15 // -- PostX, the leader in the delivery of encrypted email communications for businesses and consumers, today announced that its HIPAA and Privacy Lexicons and Content Scanning Engine will be powering McAfee's Email Compliance module, included in McAfee® Secure Messaging Gateway and McAfee® Secure Internet Gateway appliances. McAfee's embedding of PostX technology into its products enables McAfee to scan all outbound email traffic to determine the appropriate action to comply with regulations such as HIPAA, GLBA and the EU Directive.
"One of the biggest challenges facing companies today from a security perspective is choice," said Cayce Ullman, CEO, PostX. "There are an overwhelming number of security products on the market today promising to solve compliance and security needs in a variety of ways. Our solution is to ensure PostX's offerings can be obtained through leading security vendors, such as McAfee."
The new Email Compliance module from McAfee scans email headers, body and attachments for a wide variety of personal information and/or financial information. When sensitive information is detected within an email, the technology identifies the content and takes the appropriate action, including routing the message for encryption with PostX and/or blocking it.
"PostX has a proven reputation in the email security space and the endorsement from the American Hospital Association (AHA)," said Jack Marsal, group product marketing manager at McAfee, Inc. "To help our customers address the vital issue of data privacy, we have integrated PostX's content scanning technologies into our messaging security appliances."
PostX has been involved in secure email for more than a decade, providing complete turnkey solutions for customers of any size and industry. The pairing of PostX and McAfee is a clear indication of increasing marketplace acceptance for policy enforcement, and the trend for customers to achieve compliance in a single appliance solution. The integrated, interoperable PostX products are available as an SDK (software development kit) that is easy for independent software vendors to embed and deploy for inclusion into their solutions.
