SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Workshare today announced that Workshare Protect 5.0, the leading outbound content security solution, continues to receive praise as the first endpoint and network-level solution reducing leakage of privacy, financial and confidential information, according to recent reviews in CRN and GCN Magazines. The reviews emphasize Workshare Protect's ability to secure confidential information by providing an end user safety net, reducing risk of information leaks while allowing IT administrators to define a comprehensive data-protection policy based on individual enterprise needs.

In the recent GCN review, John Breeden writes, "The Workshare Protect Enterprise Suite is network security that looks at what's going on inside a network to help stop both purposeful and accidental information leaks. In addition, it can educate users when they're violating policy so they learn from their mistakes and don't send sensitive data outside the (organization)."

Throughout both reviews, the editors note that Workshare Protect provides network administrators with a flexible policy creation platform that allows them to define what information leaves the company. The user interface and accompanying alerts are recognized by the reviewers as critical elements in educating end users as to what is acceptable content policy for their respective firms. Additionally, Workshare Protect's exceptional ability to cleanse metadata from documents is emphasized.

"These reviews recognize Workshare Protect as the industry's only integrated approach reducing complexity for end-users and network security professionals," said Ken Rutsky, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Products & Marketing. "We remain highly committed to continued innovation of comprehensive security solutions that empower end users and IT administrators in the ongoing battle to secure data flowing in and out of the enterprise. GCN and CRN are each highly-read and respected publications within our industry and Workshare is honored to receive accolades from each magazine."
