Voltage SecureFile for IBM Lotus Quickr

Voltage SecureFile now integrates with Lotus Quickr to provide automatic policy-based persistent encryption of sensitive files as they are published onto Lotus Quickr, ensuring their protection when they leave the Quickr environment.

Highlights:
 

	Encrypts any type of file to the access control list of the Quickr location
	Custom encryption rules to secure files based on location, publisher, file type and file name
	Ensures optimum security with minimal end user impact

The Need for Security in Collaboration
Business today is increasingly global, with documents traveling between partners, sales channels, supply chains, outsourcers, and contractors. Having a trusted means for exchanging sensitive files with parties outside the protected network is essential to ongoing business. Lotus Quickr team collaboration software helps organizations share content, collaborate, and work faster online across teams of employees, partners, consultants, and other designated users. Voltage SecureFile for Lotus Quickr extends the security provided within the Quickr Place by protecting individual files wherever they go and however they get there – ensuring sensitive information is viewed only by intended users.

While Lotus Quickr provides secure access to sensitive files, there is a clear business risk when files leave the protected environment of a Quickr Place. Providing persistent protection to files even after they leave the Quickr environment ensures the safeguarding of intellectual property in order to solidify consumer confidence, competitive advantage, and brand integrity.

Voltage SecureFile for Lotus Quickr addresses this security need by integrating rules-based encryption with Lotus Quickr for files published on Quickr Places. Moreover, Voltage Identity-Based Encryption™ (IBE) extends the security and privacy provided within the Quickr Place to external environments such as laptops and USB devices. Voltage, together with Lotus Quickr, enables organizations to minimize the risk of sharing sensitive information with outside parties – enabling business productivity without the risk of data loss.

Security That Stays with Your Files
Voltage SecureFile leverages Voltage IBE to protect files to the access control list of the Quickr location, ensuring that only intended users of the documents have access, even when files are downloaded from the portal. Files uploaded to Quickr can be automatically encrypted based on the Quickr Place location, file name, file type or publisher. Unlike information security offerings that use complex keys or can only protect certain file types, transport mechanisms, or storage locations, Voltage SecureFile encrypts the file itself. By securing the information rather than the location or means of transport, Voltage SecureFile persistently protects files no matter what the file type, enabling secure business information workflows without the risk of data loss or policy violations.

Intuitive, Simple File Encryption
Powered by Voltage IBE, Voltage SecureFile is easy to use with any file, making it possible to encrypt to individuals and groups without the need to exchange certificates or memorize passwords. Voltage IBE technology has been adopted by industry leading companies in healthcare, financial services, retail, media and government. As information rights relationships change, Voltage SecureFile eliminates usability and management barriers to secure file sharing by dynamically enforcing group policies through automated key management.

Voltage SecureFile scans all files published to Quickr and encrypts based on policy

Automated Policy Based Encryption
Voltage SecureFile for IBM Lotus Quickr allows a Quickr Place Administrator to set policies by which files will be automatically encrypted. Such policies assure Quickr administrators and information security teams that specific files are handled and secured appropriately. Automated encryption policies are triggered by identification settings such as file type, title and owner. Policies secure the files to those individuals or groups in the access control list of the published location. In addition, the Quickr administrator can set policy to encrypt to additional users, which can be helpful for audit purposes and e-discovery.

Encryption That Just Works
Conventional approaches to encryption rely on cumbersome key management and password schemes that make them unworkable in fast-moving business environments. Voltage SecureFile is superior to these historical offerings because it secures critical information with patented Voltage IBE technology, ensuring that the right people always have access to the right set of files and documents at the right time.
