Foreshore announces a strategic alliance with Hush Communications to provide a new product called "Privacy Professional", an extremely secure electronic messaging and document signature service.
Privacy Professional has been designed to meet the growing needs of professional services organisations worldwide, which require secure customer communications and for whom the integrity and privacy of privileged information, reliable authentication and the elimination of fraud are of the utmost importance.
The alliance between Foreshore (www.foreshore.net) and Hush (www.foreshore.net) and Hush (www.hush.com), combines Hush Communications’ reputation as the leading global provider of managed security solutions and encryption key-serving technology, with Foreshore’s Jersey based, secure web-hosting facilities.
By virtue of being a totally managed service, secure communication is effected through a web browser only, and as such, is available from almost anywhere in the world. The technology is easy to use and removes the complicated burden of having to manage encryption key pairs, while still maintaining a robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) allowing for true end-to-end security.
Andrew Jarrett, sales director of Foreshore, said: "The identification process coupled with Jersey’s digital signature legislation enables contracts to be sealed instantly without the need to courier documentation. This not only saves valuable time but removes the additional insecurity measures that couriering can entail; and so is ideally suited to local trust companies, banks and law firms."
Ben Cutler, CEO of Hush Communications, said: "Combining Foreshore’s state of the art secure data hosting facilities and Hush’s proven technology, results in the provision of an excellent suite of services dedicated to compliance, record archiving, dispute resolution, structured communication and fraud prevention."
