MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Apr 30, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Copiun Inc. today announced Copiun TrustedShare(TM), the industry's first enterprise-grade mobile collaboration solution that lets workers securely access and manage documents on mobile devices while delivering end-to-end data governance to the corporation. Copiun TrustedShare is also the only solution that provides direct, native access to Microsoft's SharePoint(R) or other File Server-based environments with no VPN, firewall re-configurations or extra stores. Copiun TrustedShare is available today and in use by organizations around the globe, many in highly regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, and government.
"There's a perfect storm brewing in corporations today," said Puneesh Chaudhry, CEO and co-founder of Copiun. "Mobile device proliferation is at an all-time high, the trend toward consumerization of technology is growing, and IT departments are struggling to gain visibility and control over the information flow. Copiun TrustedShare was designed to help enterprises capitalize on this flux by providing a more complete mobile collaboration solution -- one that combines simple, seamless document access with governance and data loss prevention to balance the needs of employees as well as IT departments."
"Our sales team needed simple, direct access to all of their documents on their iPads so they could shed their laptops while on the road, and we weren't willing to sacrifice information security. Copiun TrustedShare is the only way to balance those needs," said Matthew Britt, director of Information Services, Womack Machine Supply Co. "The product is easy to use for our mobile workers and it requires very little from the IS department to set up and support. There are a lot of happy iPad users around here now."
By 2015, IDC expects that the majority of business-use smartphones worldwide will be employee liable (55%) versus corporate liable (45%) (IDC Worldwide Business Use Smartphone 2011--2015 Forecast and Analysis, IDC #230311, September 2011). "Embracing BYOD and mobile collaboration can be a big advantage but only if the enterprise has a complete security strategy, including IT technology management," states IDC senior analyst Stacy Crook. "That means considering all the different activities that mobile workers engage in with their devices and securing not only the device, but the data that's now mobile. A solution like Copiun TrustedShare can play a key role in that process as it enables end-to-end protection without compromise."
Copiun TrustedShare for the Mobile Worker
Copiun TrustedShare offers simple, immediate collaboration that helps mobile workers increase productivity by connecting them to all the information they need to do their jobs -- whether in the office or out. Key benefits for the mobile worker include:
-- More Access -- Mobile workers can access, edit and share all types of business documents natively and securely on their personal mobile devices when and where they need them, ensuring the latest information is always at-hand. They also won't have to be concerned with a slow or unreliable VPN connection or need to remember if they copied a file to a workspace.
-- More Devices -- Copiun TrustedShare works with the most popular smartphones and tablets in the enterprise workplace -- whether corporate-issued or employee-owned, iOS or Android powered.
-- More Document Stores -- Copiun gives mobile workers secure native access to corporate documents stored anywhere -- in file shares or in SharePoint. Users can even check-in, check-out and access their own SharePoint sub-sites.
-- Better Sharing -- Mobile workers can securely exchange documents internally and externally, capture forms and field data and publish RFPs, manuals, collateral and more -- at anytime, from any device, using productivity solutions appropriate to their devices.
Copiun TrustedShare for the IT Team
Copiun TrustedShare lets IT executives say "yes" to BYOD and BYOA (Bring Your Own Apps) by helping secure, isolate and protect documents throughout their lifecycle -- from access request through transfer, editing and publishing. This end-to-end governance also helps ensure complete regulatory and legal compliance. Key features for the IT Team include:
-- Secure VPN-less -- Copiun TrustedShare provides secure VPN-less access and does not require IT to open up ports in the firewall, thereby eliminating the risks associated with hackers using consumer apps to infiltrate the corporate network. Costly and risky duplicate DMZ or cloud stores are not required either.
-- Robust Policy Management -- Copiun TrustedShare offers enterprise controls for enforcing multi-level entitlement policies according to user profiles for storing, emailing, printing and opening documents in other apps. IT administrators can even set expiration policies to limit the life of a document. Copiun provides scalable management through layered Active Directory group policies too.
-- Secure Document Container -- Data in transit or at rest is always protected using AES-256 encryption with the key stored inside the firewall using RSA 4096 encryption. Copiun prevents unauthorized transmission of corporate data by using a multi-factor authentication process with Active Directory credentials.
-- Trusted App Sharing -- Only apps that are authorized by an IT administrator such as Quickoffice or an internal corporate app can access data stored in Copiun's secure document container.
-- Loss Protection -- If a device is lost or stolen, Copiun TrustedShare provides protection layers including passcode, remote corporate data wipe, and access revoke.
-- Auditing & Reporting -- Copiun's policy and document life cycle management comes with full auditing and reporting including keyword search of files or user names.
