Homeland Security highlights Infraworks InTether Server.

InTether Server Part Of The Security Demonstration With Federal, State And Local Agencies

Infraworks has announced that the Homeland Security C2 Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) is using Infraworks' InTether Server to protect sensitive digital files when communicating between multiple agencies as part of its critical infrastructure demonstration. The need to secure digital files in their native format has never been greater. As a result, protecting unclassified, yet sensitive, digital file information is a priority in military and intelligence circles globally.

"Both traditional and non-traditional means of communications are in immense need of protection from hostile threats. As part of The HLS C2 ACTD demonstration, the InTether Server performed very well and appears to offer a secure, cost effective, and reliable solution today, in protecting sensitive files," states Glenn Cooper, Assistant Technical Manager with the Homeland Security C2 ACTD. "We intend to use and appraise the InTether Server in future demonstrations," Cooper went on to state.

The InTether Server provides control over the access, distribution and use of sensitive information based on assigned permissions. "We are delighted to be part of the Homeland Security demonstration and believe it's a great way to highlight to a multitude of agencies, how InTether Server can be part of the mission-critical need for securing sensitive digital files," states Joyce Durst, CEO of Infraworks. InTether Server is being used in the demonstration to facilitate protecting and sharing sensitive digital information within a group of Federal, State and Local agencies, as well as commercial enterprises.

The InTether File Security series contains a robust set of security attributes that permit intelligence and security organizations to distribute and share their information with a partner organization on a limited time and use basis. InTether Server gives the file owner the ability to secure, distribute and delete digital files, even while the files are in use by other applications. Additional permissions such as the prevention of printing, using the Windows clipboard, forwarding in e-mail and saving changes to the file can be applied as well. InTether Server is a commercially available solution today for both Federal and Enterprise organizations, and is available in corporate and small business editions.
