SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 9 / -- The following is being issued by O-yA!:
Google has raised privacy concerns with the newest update of their desktop search tool while O-yA!(TM) continues to provide secure, private and office- wide search with their O-yA! Private Search Device (PSD).
With the latest release of their desktop search product, Google validates the need for sharing information among multiple PCs in an office. Google Vice President Marisa Mayer states in the February 9, 2006 USA Today article, Google's Newest Search Tool Raises Privacy Concern, that too many people are working across multiple computers now.
Google Desktop 3 requires user data to be uploaded to Google servers and shared from Google. With the Desktop 3 for PC information sharing, personal business information will now be stored on Google servers for 30-days. Online privacy advocacy group, Electronic Frontier Foundation, raise concern about Google extending its reach because of the privacy risk for users.
"We would never take the risk of putting our corporate data on an outside network," said Greg Mayfield, President of Comrisk Insurance. "With the O-yA! PSD our employees can quickly and securely search all of our information and we know the data stays behind our firewall."
The O-yA! PSD provides a secure, private and easy to use office-wide search capability. It indexes all of the content on office PCs, shared drives and the company intranet. O-yA! provides a unique auto-discovery feature that will go out on the network and find every place data is stored and automatically makes it available to be indexed.
Because it is a secure device that sits inside your network, it keeps your proprietary business information safe from search, hacking and unwanted intrusion from any outside agency.
The O-yA! PSD allows you to create search groups within the office that limit search access to sensitive data based upon group and user permissions. As demonstrated by the recent requests by the Federal Government to every major search company to view search information, placing even more proprietary data on public or third party servers can create additional risks.
"With the O-yA! Private Search Device, any government agency that wanted to view your search information or data would have to request it directly from you. On a public or third party server, you may never even know you are being investigated," says Alan Steinberg, CEO of O-yA!. "Businesses need to be sure that where they search and their proprietary data stays secure."
The O-yA! PSD is easy to install and easy to use and provides a familiar browser interface that will provide everyone in the office the ability to search for information across the network with little or no training.
