Absio Launches Dispatch® Secure Email Application
-Secure and control email messages and attachments all the time, everywhere-
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo., April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Absio Corporation (Absio), a cybersecurity and data control software development company, announced today that it has released a secure email application called Absio Dispatch. Absio Dispatch is an easy-to-use application, or plug-in to Microsoft Outlook®, that automatically encrypts every email message and attachment, and maintains that encryption everywhere without changing the way people use email today.
"We carry on private conversations and exchange information every day that we simply don't want to become widely available. Before email, we had those conversations over the phone, or in a quiet place where no one else was listening. Today, we must face the reality that most of those conversations, and most file sharing takes place via email," said Rob Kilgore, President and CEO of Absio Corporation. "Since email is the primary way we digitally communicate private and sensitive information, it is now the most fertile ground for hackers and a treasure trove of information in litigation."
Absio Dispatch makes it easy to protect sensitive email communications by automatically encrypting every message and attachment, and maintaining that encryption everywhere—on the sender's device, in transit, in the cloud, and on the recipient's device—without any user effort. In addition, the sender can determine what recipients can do with each message and related attachments, including allowing or preventing saving, printing, copying/pasting, forwarding and replying to all recipients. The sender can also set a date and time when an email will expire (can no longer be accessed by recipients), and recall previously sent messages if the sender no longer wants the recipients to have access to the content, or when a message is sent by mistake.
Unlike other secure email providers, Absio does not have any centralized access to passwords, encryption keys or metadata related to its users' email communications. Each message and attachment is individually encrypted with a different key on the user's device before it is sent over an internet connection to the Absio servers. Absio does not have access to its customers' encryption keys, and does not have an alternate decryption key. This means that Absio does not have the ability to decrypt messages or attachments—not even a subject line—and therefore, cannot be the source of a breach or hack.
Dispatch is as simple to use as email and operates seamlessly within Microsoft Outlook® or as a stand-alone Windows® application. Administration tools are available for organizations that want to centrally manage users and settings.
"Email is the biggest information control problem in most organizations, but many companies have been unwilling to sacrifice productivity and convenience for control. With Absio Dispatch, you no longer have to make that sacrifice," adds Rob Kilgore.
Absio Dispatch can be downloaded for free from the Absio website. Multiple service plans are available for individuals and organizations based on their storage and administration needs. Absio Dispatch is available for computers running Windows® 7.0 or higher, and Microsoft Outlook® 2010 or higher. Absio plans to release versions of Absio Dispatch for Android™ and iOS® devices this summer.
