Protect Your Data with Enterprise-Ready Security and Compliance


Theres a core challenge facing enterprises today. In order to stay competitive, companies must share information and collaborate freely on business content while simultaneously meeting stringent security and regulatory compliance. Traditional means of collaborationemail, FTP, and couriersare vulnerable to security breaches. Email is susceptible to viruses, and when users send files as attachments, you cant track or regulate them. FTP is an outdated solution thats confusing to users, so they find compromising workarounds like sharing passwords. And FTP files never expire, so your intellectual property remains exposed. Finally, when you use a courier, you never know who opens the package on the receiving end, or how long it remains lying around their office. Workstream by YouSendIt, on the other hand, is an online collaboration tool that is both efficient and secure, with built-in systems that allow your organization to track and govern all filesharing activity.
