IDC created this report for CIOs, CISCOs and other IT executives to stay current with information security vendors that are positively disrupting existing security approaches and are proactively addressing security concerns with revolutionary methods previously unseen. In the report, IDC labels Covertix as a “cool” information security vendor and acknowledges the company for its extremely innovative approach for protecting confidential documents and information assets.

“What’s cool about Covertix is its robust ability to control and secure files anywhere, even beyond the network perimeter in the cloud and with third parties,” explained Kevin Bailey, Research Director for Security Software at IDC. “It is always difficult to get a 360-degree view of protection on files, both when they are visible and also in archival and offline situations. Architecting keys to stay with files not only ensures correct accessibility but also addresses some of the concerns with retaining key management availability in the future.”

Covertix answers the growing need for information leakage prevention and sensitive data security by providing enterprise organizations with independent file-level security, surveillance and protection. The company’s flagship product, SmartCipher, is a file-level loss prevention and rights management application that secures and monitors confidential documents and sensitive data by traveling with the file inside and outside the organization. By doing so, Covertix provides enterprise organizations with the business agility to confidently share confidential information without being exposed to the risks of information abuse.
