"Essential Taceo gives us the ability to deliver a valuable new
service to subscribers interested in protecting the confidentiality of
their email and files," said John C. Agathon, vice president of sales
for Net Star Telecommunications. "Taceo is compelling because it not
only delivers encryption, but allows email users to apply specific
controls to their email and files. We particularly like the expiration
feature, where a user can effectively delete an email regardless of
where it has been sent."
Powerful Security, Flexible Control
Taceo provides 1024bit RSA asymmetric encryption, 192bit 3-DES
encryption and digital signatures that can be applied to any file
type. Taceo's persistent security and control remains for the
life-cycle of the email or document including while in storage,
transit, and after it has arrived on the recipient's desktop.
Taceo gives email users the power to determine how recipients may
use their email and documents. For example, Taceo senders can prevent
unauthorized distribution (no forwarding, printing) and prevent
unauthorized editing (no cut, copy, paste) of content. In addition,
users can set expiration times and dates on email and documents, as
well as set usage permissions that evolve with time.
One-click content control and integration with Microsoft Outlook
enables users to quickly send protected email without disrupting
workflow. Controls to prevent forwarding, editing, printing, etc.
apply to more than 30 file types including Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, PowerPoint®, Visio®, Adobe PDF, and Corel WordPerfect®.
