“The emergence of cloud services as core components of business
infrastructure is changing the way organisations need to approach security. WatchDox
protects the new borderless enterprise by delivering not only the most secure
EFSS File Sync and Share solutions but enhanced integration with Salesforce.com
and the new BlackBerry Email Protector,” said Billy Ho, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Product and Value Added Solutions,
BlackBerry. “The risk of data loss is significantly minimised by encrypting and
enforcing DRM protection at the file-level when users are viewing, editing and
annotating synced documents, no matter on which side of the firewall those
documents travel.”

Email Protector leverages the highly regarded WatchDox platform to
automatically apply DRM protection to email attachments sent through an organisation’s
email gateway based on controllable policies such as recipient or file type.
Administrators can protect or exempt specific file types, users or entire
domains. In addition, Email Protector places attached files into an
IT-controlled WatchDox repository and replaces the file with a download link in
the original email. This provides unmatched security with a seamless user
experience. Email Protector also integrates with email Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
solutions to enforce file-level security based on DLP security policies. If the
DLP system identifies an email with sensitive business information, WatchDox
will embed DRM security into the attachment before it leaves the firewall.

As one of the most used SaaS (Software as a Service) applications and a
system of record, increasing amounts of data are now contained within
Salesforce. This includes very sensitive information about the company’s
business, including leads, contacts, and sales opportunities as well as other
insights into the operations. Companies working with Salesforce can take full
advantage of WatchDox storage, sharing, collaboration and customisable document
security features, directly from within Salesforce.com. By using WatchDox to
store and share files specific to Salesforce records, organisations can apply
policies to avoid costly data loss. Access controls are completely customisable
and intuitive and files can be set to expire, or be revoked at any time.

- Introducing Custom Application Workspaces –
Third-party application developers benefit from this private storage space
that is not exposed through the native WatchDox interface. Combined with a
rich SDK and APIs, web and application developers can leverage the
WatchDox platform’s security, mobility, sharing and synchronisation
capabilities directly through their custom app interface. - New Online Viewer in WatchDox for Web –
The online viewer for WatchDox has been rebuilt in HTML5 to the same
security standards as the original Flash viewer, and introduces new user
experiences and design. Users can now create, review and share annotations
with other contributors who can then correspond on any device. - Role Builder – WatchDox
system administrators can create customised permission profiles for unique
user workflows, making them available to end-users when they’re sharing
files. It’s a capability that gives organisations the flexibility to
control how the users in a workspace are engaging with files. It also
gives the organisation confidence that the right security settings are
being applied across a range of scenarios. - Authentication Enhancements –
System administrators can now customise timeout periods for specific
users, user groups, or by application. For example, a large private equity
firm uses WatchDox to share documents to both internal employees and
external partners, vendors and customers. To enhance security, external
parties are required to re-authenticate daily, while internal employees
are only required to re-authenticate once a week. - WatchDox for Microsoft Windows, now with Easy
Upload – Users on a Windows PC (Windows 7, 8 and 10)
can select any file on internal or external storage and upload it directly
to a WatchDox workspace (or sub-folder). This way, you can start an upload
of a large file now, and if you have to close your computer and resume
later, you can. WatchDox remembers where the upload was before you closed
your computer.
