Reconnex Open API With Enterprise Encryption Capabilities From BitArmor

Reconnex, in information
monitoring and protection appliances, announced a partnership agreement with BitArmor Systems, in data
control software that helps companies protect and manage data on an
enterprise scale.

The agreement leverages the Reconnex Open API and
BitArmor’s enterprise encryption capabilities to find and protect
sensitive

data anywhere on the network. The agreement will enable an
enterprise-class solution that defines and enforces policies for the
protection of sensitive information. The integrated solution will enable
users to monitor adherence to policies at the edge of the network and on
endpoints in a consistent and unified manner. Through its policy-based
security features, BitArmor helps Reconnex safeguard data for the Microsoft
Windows operating system throughout the organization, both while data is in
flight and while it is stored.

"BitArmor DataControl and
Reconnex’s technologies complement each other amazingly well," said
BitArmor CEO Patrick McGregor. "Our customers can combine BitArmor’s
encryption expertise, data tracking capabilities, and simple, central
management with Reconnex’s endpoint data monitoring to go beyond data
leakage prevention. They will be able to protect their information more
effectively than they can with any other solution on the market."

Under the terms of the agreement, BitArmor will integrate and support the
Reconnex Open Endpoint API through its direct sales force and channel
partners. Users will be able to set endpoint policies through the Reconnex
DLP console and
propagate them seamlessly to BitArmor’s agent endpoints. The Reconnex iGuard system
monitors data in use at the endpoint for security violations, which are
reported — along with data-in-motion violations in the network — through
the Reconnex console. BitArmor’s intelligent endpoint agents enhance the
data-at-rest capabilities of the Reconnex solution by enabling users to
control sensitive data based on endpoint policies.

"The Reconnex inSight
Centralized Management Console will be able to leverage BitArmor’s
enterprise endpoint lifecycle technology, addressing the highly distributed
and mobile corporate environments commonly found today," said John K.
Peters, CEO of Reconnex. "BitArmor’s customers are offered a central
management system that controls data-in-motion and data-at-rest scanning,
while Reconnex customers receive a market-leading solution for protecting
and managing data on an enterprise scale."

BitArmor DataControl software protects and manages data that may be stored
anywhere in the organization, including laptop and desktop computers,
servers, and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. The software also controls data
on tapes, removable media such as USB drives, and FireWire devices such as
digital cameras. DataControl layers persistent file encryption with full
disk encryption to protect against a wide range of threat scenarios.
