Citadon to Extend its Online Security Offerings with Technology from Bharosa
Exclusive Agreement Will Make Industry-Leading Web Security Platform Available to Citadon Clients Worldwide
Santa Clara & San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 16, 2005 -- Bharosa, a
provider of Web-based security solutions to combat online identity theft, and
Citadon®, a provider of integrated Web-based collaboration, document management
and business process management solutions, today announced an agreement to
expand the range of security options available to worldwide users of Citadon’s
Web-based collaboration solutions.
Under the terms of this agreement,
Citadon will integrate Bharosa's v.Crypt™ platform into the Citadon CW
(Collaboration Workspace) platform. As a result, Citadon clients will have even
greater flexibility to authenticate use at the document, task, user, and event
level and will have additional tools to satisfy digital signature requirements,
which are very important in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceutical
trials and financial services.
Named one of the top 100 Fastest Growing
Companies Private Companies by the San Francisco Business Times, Citadon has a
rapidly growing clientele that includes some of the largest enterprises in the
world — companies with business-critical projects and stringent and rising
concerns regarding information security. "Our clients require the ability to
securely exchange information with their external business partners and want the
ability to tailor the level of security access to meet their business needs”
said Howard Koenig, President and CEO for Citadon. “In this climate of growing
risk, we’re committed to delivering the most rigorous security available. By
making Bharosa’s v.Crypt solution available as an option for Citadon CW, we’re
able to provide industry-leading protection against all known forms of online
fraud as well as future threats.”
The Bharosa v.Crypt™ platform is the
first complete enterprise defense against Internet-based fraud, offering
advanced user authentication and fraud monitoring, detection and alerting
capabilities. Bharosa secures applications without needing hardware, software or
devices, which is critical to businesses like Citadon, who host services on the
Web. "Bharosa has found an effective way to guard businesses and their consumers
against phishing, Trojans and other online frauds without use of any devices or
downloads," said Paul Saunders, information security analyst for WR Hambrecht +
Co.
Bharosa CEO Jon Fisher states businesses can be much more confident
working with solution providers like Citadon who “are taking action on behalf of
their customers’ interests, not waiting for the solutions of the past to catch
up to today’s risks. Smart businesses know what having high standards for
service means in today’s world,” says Fisher. “It means you can’t implement new
software systems, a process which can take months, at every turn, in response to
every new risk. Systems need to be fluid enough to adapt to what in six months
might be a whole new set of threats associated with doing business online. At
Bharosa, which means trust, we’re creating confidence in a solution that will
help our clients rise to tomorrow’s challenges.”
