OverviewThere
are many things that ZSentry does very well, and some that no other product does, while offering more integration and
more choices for secure communication than any other product. However, we find that the main value for our
customers, partners, and users is that ZSentry security fits in without any changes to their systems, or how they
use their systems. Ultimately, ZSentry is about people — who have so far been the weakest link in security
processes. The organizations we work with learn this and how to take advantage of ZSentry not just for regulatory
compliance but also to provide better mobility, usability and generate unique advantages. Ed Gerck, Ph.D., CEO
ZSentry* is a U.S.
Certified Health IT EHR Product, ARRA and HIPAA compliant, and was selected in the 10 Enterprise Must-Haves
by CIO Insight.ZSentry meets the needs of both organizations and people, with instant-on regulatory compliance, mobility, usability, and product aggregation. ZSentry Advantages Only ZSentry improves, secures, and aggregates user's services on the desktop, phone, and web browser, providing:
No Installation, Always Current
No more software installation, updates, software that becomes obsolete overnight, or outdated plugins. ZSentry is provided
online and onsite, and is always current, with the latest improvements in security and usability. No installation, no plugins, no plugin
incompatibility. No cost of deployment or update, and no technical support required on your site. Account self-management and on-demand web support
available 24/7.Extends Your Existing IT Investment
Integrate MS Office and Google Docs with non document authoring elements such as Google Apps, Mail, Single-Sign-On, SMS and IM,
with HIPAA and HITECH Safe Harbor compliance. ZSentry provides a secure Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA) located as a middleware (we call it Network Middleware
Application or NMA) between your business processes and the infrastructure needed to execute them. No need to
change your applications or infrastructure. The infrastructure may be customer-hosted and also provided on-demand by means of "cloud
computing" and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service). More than just empower your Mail client to send and read secure email,
ZSentry extends your existing IT investment with added mobility, usability, security, and versatility.Unforgeable Authentication, Adaptive Security
The unforgeable authentication of both name and email address by ZSentry solves some critical usability and security problems
relating to key-signing and certificate distribution in X.509/PKI, and is digitally equivalent to X.509/PKI unforgeable
authentication, but without purchasing a CA certificate and having to safe-keep the private-key. ZSentry also uses Adaptive
Security, which evaluates threats in real-time and quickly isolates potential attacks.Security Beyond The Enterprise
For a number of reasons, including cost and management, it is usually not viable to include customers,
partners, providers, and suppliers in a secure email account provided by an enterprise. However,
there are regulatory and security needs for enterprises to communicate securely beyond the enterprise
borders, with practically anyone and often on first contact.The FREE ZSentry Basic satisfies these needs and is provided to assure regulatory compliance for the enterprise by enabling communication security beyond the enterprise borders at zero cost and with no burden for recipients. ZSentry also offers a number of controls to improve both security and usability, even in a first-contact scenario. For example, the sender can allow a recipient to read securely without registration, while both registration and login can be required for others. Access can be further controlled by requesting a Return Receipt every time the message is opened. In addition, the sender can set a self-destruct control (received message expires and is no longer readable; archive copy does not expire) after a chosen period. This is also provided with a legal copyright use denial affecting any copies (including screenshots) after expiration. This means worry-free federal and state regulatory compliance regarding retention and discovery duties, even at a recipient's end that is beyond the enterprise. No Targets
ZSentry effectively allays access and data security concerns locally,
in the infrastructure, and in the cloud. Each customer's login and data
are protected in separate by the ZSentry Sans Target technology, with configurable, encrypted metadata
(keys are also protected by ZSentry Sans Target) providing a protected, standards-compliant, unique user
experience and feature set for each customer.
This is even more important in the context of "cloud computing" and SaaS, when user data may be stored in the "cloud".
With ZSentry, customer access audit trails and customer data storage can be securely maintained in the "cloud" with
encrypted,
de-identified numbers, which access keys are provided and secured by the ZSentry technology.Customization
