Kiteworks, the leading email encryption gateway supplier, regulates and secures vital digital content traveling within and out of global corporations, and used by hundreds of the largest multinational organizations in the German, Austrian, and Swiss markets. Kiteworks enables businesses to effectively manage risk and assure compliance with all the sensitive content sent, shared, received, and saved.
This is accomplished using the Kiteworks platform, which unifies, tracks, controls, and secures all sensitive digital content communications sent through the platform via email, file share, managed file transfer, web forms, and application programming interfaces (APIs).
The totemo purchase expands the Kiteworks platform's email functionality beyond user or plug-in activation within the platform to the native mail client, offering automatic coverage of any sensitive digital content sent and received via email.
Email content metadata on individuals, apps, devices, networks, protocols, and files will be centrally digested and normalized as totemo's technology will be integrated into the Kiteworks platform in the coming months. To limit the danger of private information being exposed and to meet regulatory compliance requirements, companies can establish centralized and comprehensive tracking and controls.
Businesses that use this integrated intelligence will strengthen and expand the total cyber-defense strategy, extending privacy protection and compliance beyond the data center, cloud, and wide-area network (WAN) perimeters to third-party sensitive content communications.
"Acquisition of totemo automates and extends the platform's email encryption with S/MIME, OpenPGP, and TLS protocols," explains Jonathan Yaron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kiteworks. The acquisition will have a major impact on the governance, compliance, and security industries. Customers may manage and regulate critical information that is distributed both internally and internationally using a mix of technologies from two industry leaders in content communications.
Kiteworks' ability to allow customers to manage risk and meet regulatory requirements throughout their sensitive content communications infrastructure is strengthened by the synergy between the two businesses' product offerings.
Enterprise-ready, end-to-end encryption and automatic conversion across a wide range of encryption protocols are added to the Kiteworks platform by totemo. No other provider can match this set of skills, much alone the associated business benefits like compliance, risk mitigation, and operational efficiency.
The conclusion is that businesses must do more to safeguard their sensitive data. CIOs, CISOs, and risk and compliance managers are under increasing pressure to secure sensitive data and demonstrate regulatory compliance while reducing friction in employees' day-to-day procedures. It must safeguard content when it is at rest, in transit, and in use.
It also needs to safeguard content during file transfers and file sharing, within APIs, and on web forms, in addition to email. Totemo's email encryption gateway technology will be integrated into the Kiteworks platform, resulting in the most comprehensive private content communications governance, compliance, and risk protection available in the market.
