BELLEVUE, Wash. – March 7, 2006 – Essential Security Software, a
provider of outbound email and document security solutions, and Net Star
Telecommunications, today announced the availability of Essential Taceo™

one of Houston’s fastest growing private companies, provides nationwide

Taceo is an email and document security rights management solution that
integrates with Microsoft® Outlook® to provide one-click email content
protection and rights management control, enabling email users to easily
and securely distribute sensitive email messages and documents. With Taceo,
ISPs of all sizes can operate and deliver a branded encryption and rights

“Offerings such as Taceo address a clear need in the market for increased
protection and control of outbound email,” said Ray Zambroski, CEO,
Essential Security Software. “We’re very pleased to partner with Net Star,
a company committed to providing new and innovative services to its
customers.”
“Essential Taceo gives us the ability to deliver a valuable new service to
subscribers interested in protecting the confidentiality of their email
and files,” said John C. Agathon, vice president of sales for Net Star
Telecommunications. “Taceo is compelling because it not only delivers
encryption, but allows email users to apply specific controls to their
email and files. We particularly like the expiration feature, where a user
can effectively delete an email regardless of where it has been sent.”
Powerful Security, Flexible Control
Taceo provides 1024bit RSA asymmetric encryption, 192bit 3-DES encryption
and digital signatures that can be applied to any file type. Taceo’s
persistent security and control remains for the life-cycle of the email or
document including while in storage, transit, and after it has arrived on
the recipient’s desktop.
Taceo gives email users the power to determine how recipients may use
their email and documents. For example, Taceo senders can prevent
unauthorized distribution (no forwarding, printing) and prevent
unauthorized editing (no cut, copy, paste) of content. In addition, users
can set expiration times and dates on email and documents, as well as set
usage permissions that evolve with time.
One-click content control and integration with Microsoft Outlook enables
users to quickly send protected email without disrupting workflow.
Controls to prevent forwarding, editing, printing etc. apply to more than
30 file types including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint®,
Visio®, Adobe PDF, and Corel WordPerfect®.
