EVEN YEHUDA, Israel, October 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Information leakage prevention is one of Vente-privee.com priorities. The company needed a security solution that provides control of business data traveling outside the organization's perimeter by email, USB or other mobile device.

Covertix SmartCipher is an independent data-centric security system that protects and monitors sensitive data by traveling with the files inside and outside the organization. The system automatically tags digital assets according to file location, content and/or context, without any involvement of the user, and attaches a patented 'smart policy' to each file, which continuously tracks and secures it. If sensitive information is copied, printed, burned to a CD or downloaded to a USB, the system can either issue an alert or block the activity.

"As opposed to most available security solutions that require the document owner to activate security policies, SmartCipher provides automatic protection transparent to users" said Covertix CEO Doron Zinger, "thus it provides the best available solution to security threats resulting from authorized users accidentally or maliciously sharing sensitive documents. SmartCipher combines the advantages of a Rights Management system with the discovery features of a DLP system."

Mr. Nicolas Pellegrin Information Security Officer at Vente-privee.com said: "Covertix fulfilled all of our expectations. We managed to protect our business-critical information with minimal interruption to operations."
