Authentica, Inc. has expanded its product line with the introduction of the Authentica Content Security Server, an enterprise application for securely delivering or persistently protecting e-mail and documents whether they are shared internally or between companies. The Authentica Content Security Server enables enterprises to apply the appropriate level of content security using two protection levels on a case-by-case basis: Secure Delivery for point-to-point information security, and Secure Content for continuous protection and lifecycle control of content after delivery. Secure Content incorporates Authentica’s Active Rights Management technology for after delivery security and lifecycle control of messages and documents. The sender always retains control over the recipient’s ability to forward, print and copy, and can recall or expire that information at anytime after delivery. Authentica Content Security Server is available immediately. Pricing is based on concurrent users and server configuration and starts at $32,500. www.authentica.com
