London, U.K. and Chicago, IL - March 16, 2009 - Egress Software Technologies, an innovator in secure data exchange, recently announced an innovative and affordable new security service called "Switch" for individuals or businesses which ensures that sensitive or confidential information sent to a third party is only accessed by the intended recipients. Under terms of a special introductory program announced today, Egress Switch will be available to any user free of charge for the first 30 days of operation after its introduction.
Newly introduced Egress Switch is the first solution to deliver secure data exchange. An information owner can use Switch to encrypt the files they share then set access and security controls to determine who can open the information and when it can be opened. The unique architecture of Switch lets the owner stay in control of their information, no matter where it goes or how it gets there. Security settings are managed independent of the encrypted information allowing them to be changed at any time so the information owner can even recall their information after it has been left their possession.
"We have received extremely positive feedback about the Switch service," said Bob Egner, US President of Egress Software Technologies, "and want to get security-minded individuals and businesses to begin working with it as soon as possible. There is no better way to learn how Switch can help you protect the information you share than to try it."
Unlike other encryption solutions or rights management solutions, Egress Switch is easy to use and deploy, and has no complex user procedures to learn. Users can start sharing information immediately yet retain control through the unique architecture of Switch.
The special introductory program begins immediately with the availability of Egress Switch on March 16, 2009. The program runs through the first 30 days of operation and terminates on April 15, 2009.
