Clearswift agrees partnership with US assurance provider
Lyceum Capital-backed Clearswift has agreed a new partnership with US-based Blue Coat Systems, a market leader in business assurance technology.
The agreement, which was announced alongside the launch of Clearswift’s new gateway solution SECURE ICAP, will enable the two businesses to unify their respective technologies to provide a robust information security solution to customers.
Clearswift’s ICAP protocol automatically identifies and removes sensitive data without the requirement for human intervention, and has standard content filtering and data loss prevention features. Blue Coat Proxy SG appliances act as a secure web gateway and provide threat protection and policy enforcement.
Connecting the SECURE ICAP Gateway to the ProxySG appliances provides a gateway approach that protects inbound and outbound communications from web threats and data leaks.
Heath Davies, Chief Executive at Clearswift, said: “It is Clearswift’s focus to protect the critical information of our customers. Partnering with Blue Coat ensures that the new SECURE ICAP Gateway’s innovative and unique adaptive redaction capabilities can work in concert with anti-malware and data loss prevention to provide our mutual customers with an integrated gateway solution offering.”
Jeremy Hand, Partner at Lyceum Capital and Clearswift board member, commented: “Not only will this partnership enhance Clearswift’s technology offering, but represents an opportunity to reach a wider global customer base.”
