Investors See Attractive Opportunity as Market Demand for E-Mail Anti-Theft Software Grows
BELLEVUE, Wash. – August 2, 2006 – Essential Security Software, a
leading provider of e-mail anti-theft software for small business,
today announced it has received new funding from angel investors. The
funds will be used to extend Essential Security Software’s e-mail
solution across additional platforms; and further expand sales,
marketing, and services activity.
“The prevalence of data leakage, increasing privacy concerns, and new
regulations are driving demand for stronger measures to protect
confidential information,” said Ray Zambroski, CEO, Essential Security
Software. “This latest round of financing demonstrates continued
investor confidence in the e-mail anti-theft market for SMBs, as well
as their confidence in our ability to maintain leadership in this
rapidly growing market.”
Essential Security Software aims to benefit from new regulations and
guidelines mandating the protection of employee, customer, and consumer
data within government agencies and the healthcare, legal and financial
services industries. Essential Security Software provides a cost
effective solution that can be quickly and efficiently deployed by
small businesses such as The Jacobsen Publishing Company.
Since 1865, The Jacobsen Publishing Company has been recognized as an
insightful and accurate resource for commentary and daily spot market
prices for the agricultural by-products industry. The Jacobsen provides
research and industry reports to nearly 2,000 subscribers within
companies that are impacted by the feed, cattle and agricultural
industry.
The Jacobsen uses Essential Taceo to apply anti-theft controls to its
subscription-based e-mail reports. These reports provide information on
price quotes that can be used as benchmarks for long term contracts on
animal proteins, fats and hides. With Taceo, The Jacobsen can now
prevent forwarding of reports to non-subscribers.
“Taceo has solved a significant business problem for us as we
encountered situations where parties were forwarding our market
reports, which are proprietary information that we make available to
subscribers only,” said Ken Maxfield, managing editor, The Jacobsen
Publishing Company. “Now, with Taceo, we can maintain control of our
e-mail and prevent misdirection and misuse with a simple click of the
button. Taceo has already provided us a return on our time and
investment, as parties who were receiving the reports illegally are now
subscribing to our reports.”
Essential Taceo is designed for small businesses and does not require a
server or network administration. Taceo integrates with Microsoft
Outlook and enables users to encrypt and apply controls such as “do not
print” or “do not forward” to e-mail. Taceo’s persistent security and
control remains for the life-cycle of the e-mail, including while in
storage, transit, and after it has arrived on the recipient’s desktop.
