Sigaba Unveils Secure Email for BlackBerry Publication date: Tuesday, 17 May 2005 Sigaba Extends its Unique Architecture to Mobile Applications Providing Compliance and Message Control across any Network or Email Client SAN MATEO, Calif. May 16, 2005 Sigaba, the leading provider of secure messaging solutions, today announced its first wireless application, Sigaba Secure Email for BlackBerry®. As the popular BlackBerry devices have become essential tools for businesses, governmental agencies, financial institutions and health care providers, the need to ensure that sensitive data is shared securely across any network has grown increasingly urgent. To meet this critical need, Sigaba has extended its unique messaging architecture to the BlackBerry and launched its first wireless application, Sigaba Secure Email for BlackBerry. Now organizations can extend secure messaging to wireless devices to communicate easily with customers, partners, patients and affiliates while complying with regulatory requirements such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). Wireless devices such as BlackBerry have become a mission critical tool for government agencies that require reliable, streamlined communications and information access for mobile users. This need extends from the CIO to emergency operations centers and first responders requiring 100 percent availability in times of crisis. The new Sigaba Secure Email for BlackBerry enables end-to-end protection of sensitive messages sent and received on BlackBerry devices running RIM OS 3.7 or later, including messages sent between BlackBerry devices and between BlackBerry devices and email clients such as Microsoft* Outlook* and Lotus* Domino*. Sigaba Secure Email for BlackBerry combines proven security with ease of use. While Sigaba meets the strongest requirements for confidentiality and data integrity with standards-based encryption, key distribution and strong authentication, the Sigaba application is comprised of a simple library that users download and install on their BlackBerry devices. System administrators can enable new users quickly and easily, while maintaining control over messages—even after they have been sent. “To meet our customers’ expanding needs, Sigaba is committed to delivering secure messaging solutions across all preferred methods of business communication,” said Nancy Chou, senior vice president of marketing, Sigaba. “Our first wireless application, Sigaba Secure Email for BlackBerry, is a natural addition to our expanding line of secure messaging solution applications. As an organization’s needs grow, the same powerful Sigaba authentication and encryption services also can be leveraged across a wide variety of information-sharing applications, including email, instant messaging and document delivery.” In a report published this month, Stamford, Connecticut-based market research firm Gartner announced that worldwide personal digital assistant (PDA) shipments totaled 3.4 million units in the first quarter of 2005 and that Research in Motion's BlackBerry is now the Number One ranked vendor in worldwide PDA shipments.
