Waltham, MA

Authentica, Inc., a leading provider of secure messaging and secure document sharing  solutions for protecting valuable intellectual property and confidential  business information, today announced that it has been selected by In-Q-Tel, a  private venture group funded by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), to study  enhancements for its content security solutions.

Authentica's  content security solutions, such as its PageRecall‚ and SafeRoute products  are already deployed at U.S. government agencies to protect sensitive documents  that are shared electronically with a wide range of audiences.

PageRecall  enables organizations to share sensitive and valuable content without giving up  control: it ensures that the content is always secure no matter where it is  distributed or stored. SafeRoute gives organizations a simple and flexible  solution to centrally manage and control e-mail in accordance with established  e-mail security and retention policies, without disrupting their existing  messaging infrastructure or requiring cumbersome steps for users.

"We  selected Authentica because of its experience and track record in providing  proven content security solutions to U.S. government customers," said  Gilman Louie, CEO of In-Q-Tel. "The ability to persistently protect e-mail  and attachments after they are downloaded continues to be incredibly valuable  to this market."

"We're  looking forward to working with In-Q-Tel to provide effective content security  that meets the needs of both government and commercial users," said Lance  Urbas, president and CEO at Authentica. "National security organizations  are under increasing pressure to share data at a faster rate across many  different platforms and devices. By extending our rights management  capabilities, it will allow the sharing of sensitive data and enable faster  communication across all platforms, even those outside of the traditional  environment."
