NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 16, 2009) - IntraLinks®, the leading provider of critical
information exchange solutions, is seeing businesses worldwide quickly
adopt Document Locking & Protection, IntraLinks' comprehensive tool to
securely share most commonly used business files including Microsoft
Office word documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The newly expanded
feature augments IntraLinks' current locking capabilities, making it the
only software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform to secure both native Office
files and PDF formats.
"Data protection, especially anti-leakage, is the most important
consideration for regulated and proprietary data," reports Gartner, a global information technology
research and advisory company. "High-trust SaaS providers... need to
provide sophisticated and comprehensive levels of security technology."*
More than 3,000 organizations worldwide have been protecting their files
with IntraLinks' Document Locking & Protection since early 2009, allowing
nearly 15,000 users to securely and easily access almost 50,000 protected
Microsoft documents.
"Usability and security are no longer at odds. IntraLinks' Document Locking
& Protection uniquely and automatically controls all types of files so that
professionals can focus on being productive instead of potential security
breaches," said Fahim Siddiqui, executive vice president of product
development and operations for IntraLinks. "Businesses can be confident
they are protected against information exposure because IntraLinks enables
them to control file access even after documents are distributed and
downloaded."
