Egress Switch Hosted Infrastructure available on Microsoft Azure

June 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Egress Software Technologies Inc., a leader in encryption services, today announces the launch of its hosted infrastructure services on Microsoft Azure: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partners/egress/egress-switch-gateway-shsg-azu-0001/

Whether a government department or multinational enterprise, organisations face the same challenge: How do you share sensitive electronic information internally and externally (http://www.egress.com/us-email-encryption) while maintaining compliance, security and control? For organizations working in highly regulated sectors – including government, financial and insurance services, and private healthcare (where the sensitivity of data is of particular importance) – this challenge sits high on the agenda.

Egress (http://www.egress.com/) provides hosted and on-premises encryption services, designed to secure all forms of electronic information and delivered to customers in the public and private sectors using a single platform: Egress Switch. The award-winning Switch portfolio of encryption services includes email (http://www.egress.com/solutions-secure-email/index.html), file transfer (http://www.egress.com/solutions-large-file-transfer/index...), web form (http://www.egress.com/secure-web-form/index.html), and the latest online collaboration offering, Egress Switch Secure Workspace (http://www.egress.com/secure-workspace/index.html).

Egress CTO John Goodyear comments: “Increasingly, we need to be able to offer our customers (http://www.egress.com/customer-testimonials/index.html) a truly flexible and scalable solution that can be cloud-based, hosted on-premise or hybrid and can cater to a variety of complex data-sharing and infrastructure needs.”

“As a result, we have utilized the Azure-hosted platform to help customers encrypt data and files using a combination of services designed to seamlessly integrate with on-premise Exchange or hosted Office 365 (https://store.office.com/egress-switch-secure-email-WA104379309.aspx?assetid=WA104379309) environments, enabling end-users to share confidential information with improved security using desktop, mobile or web-based applications (http://www.egress.com/downloads/). Azure lets us quickly and easily deliver our award-winning encryption services so that end-users can benefit from enhanced information security when sharing sensitive data.”

Venkat Gattamneni, Group Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Azure stated: “We are delighted to be able to introduce Egress Switch’s encryption services as a part of Azure. Our focus on collaborations with innovative software technology providers, gives customers the choice of services they demand. Egress already has a proven track record in delivering encryption that protects organizations and their end users from data breaches, plus their continued integration with Office 365 makes the Azure offering a natural fit for us.”
