Under the agreement, Samsung SDS will integrate Surety’s AbsoluteProof digital time-stamping service into third-party electronic record archive systems to Seal electronic documents sent to them by its Samsung subsidiaries. The time-stamping and content authentication of AbsoluteProof helps Samsung and its operating companies comply with a 2006 Korean regulation aimed at reducing the amount of paper used in the country while saving Korea’s limited natural resources. The regulation, called the Certified e-Document Authority (CeDA), sets out parameters for the protection of electronic records in order to promote the use of electronic documents and simplify business processes by going paperless. Samsung SDS, Korea’s third appointed largest operator for CeDA, is working to convert large-scale archives into electronic records to preserve natural resources and streamline processes for Korean organizations. Using Surety’s AbsoluteProof, Samsung SDS will be able to prove that electronic documents have not been altered or tampered at any point during their lifecycle, thus ensuring content authenticity and providing enhanced peace of mind. As a subsidiary of Samsung Group, the world’s second-largest conglomerate, Samsung SDS holds the largest market share of Korea’s IT service providers and aims to be the world’s premier integrated IT service provider by 2010. Through the partnership, Samsung SDS and Surety will work together to co-market, integrate and implement Surety’s AbsoluteProof data integrity service to end users and CeDA providers in South Korea and to Samsung SDS affiliates worldwide, including Samsung and Samsung Electronics. “The partnership between Surety and Samsung SDS is indicative of a significant global trend. As more organizations around the world take advantage of the benefits of the paperless office, the need for data-level integrity controls continues to increase,” said Tom Klaff, CEO, Surety, LLC. “By partnering with an IT services industry leader like Samsung SDS, we are enabling a broad range of organizations to protect electronic records with the most stringent content authentication method available. The combination of Samsung SDS’s IT services experience and offerings with Surety’s AbsoluteProof protection will make the transition from paper to electronic records an easy and secure one for customers.

Under the terms of the agreement, LG CNS will integrate Surety’s AbsoluteProof service into third-party electronic record archive systems to Seal electronic documents sent to them by its LG operating companies. As the Korean government increases its focus on e-business and the realization of paperless and simplified business processes, AbsoluteProof will enable users to ensure the security and litigation-readiness of their electronic documents. In 2006, the Korean government refined the regulations and revised laws on certified e-document authority (CeDA) to promote the use of electronic documents. As Korea’s number two operator for CeDA, LG CNS is transforming large-scale archives into electronic documents to help Korea realize cost savings and simplified business processes associated with the paperless office. Surety’s AbsoluteProof will enable LG CNS to ensure that electronic documents have not been altered or tampered in any way at any point during their lifecycles. As an affiliate company of LG Corporation, LG CNS is Korea’s largest IT service provider and has implemented a number of large-scale public IT infrastructure projects and played a major role in the Korean government’s e-Korea initiative. Through the partnership, LG CNS and Surety will work together to co-market, integrate and implement Surety’s AbsoluteProof data integrity service to end users and CeDA providers in South Korea and to LG CNS’ affiliates worldwide, including LG, GS and LS. “The partnership with LG CNS underscores an important worldwide trend. As more governments and organizations move to electronic archiving in support of green initiatives and to save costs and improve efficiencies, data integrity controls become paramount," said Tom Klaff, CEO, Surety, LLC. "LG CNS holds a leadership position in this market, having well established relationships with the LG Group companies as well as with a broad range of public and private companies. The combination of AbsoluteProof with LG CNS's expertise will constitute a powerful one-stop-shop as e-business initiatives such as CeDA gain momentum and increase the need for content security." Press Release 2008-06-17T15:02:00-05:00 http://www.surety.com/news/article/20080520_absoluteproof_for_microsoft_exchange/ http://www.surety.com/news/article/20080520_absoluteproof_for_microsoft_exchange/#When:09:47:00Z RESTON, Va. – May 20, 2008 – Surety, LLC, the leading provider of data integrity solutions, today announced the release of AbsoluteProof® for Microsoft Exchange, a lightweight, automated solution that seamlessly integrates into the Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 to prove time, date and content integrity of email records. AbsoluteProof for Microsoft Exchange is based on Surety’s AbsoluteProof service, the standard for electronic data authentication, which provides customers with the ability to prove the authenticity of their electronic records. Surety’s recent Email Security and Authentication Survey of more than 800 IT security, email security and compliance professionals revealed significant corporate demand for email authentication solutions. More than 65 percent of respondents expressed doubt that their organization’s emails would be authenticated and admitted as evidence in legal, regulatory or patent disputes, and more than 80 percent of respondents doubted their organization’s ability to authenticate email records and attachments. AbsoluteProof for Microsoft Exchange is designed to provide third-party validation of the time, date and content integrity of electronic records, enabling organizations to authenticate all email records. AbsoluteProof for Microsoft Exchange automatically affixes a cryptographic timestamp or Surety Integrity Seal™ (Seal) to all sent and received emails stored in the Microsoft Exchange Server Message Archive. Once an email is sealed, the Seal can be used to prove the authenticity of the e-mail at any time in the future. Seals are associated with stored email in such a way that, if email messages are migrated to a separate email archive, or sent to a third party, the Seals automatically accompany them. The result is a litigation-ready solution to the problem of defending the integrity of email evidence. “As the most widely-deployed solution for business-class email and collaboration, Microsoft Exchange Server is actively used by more than 100 million professionals,” said Tom Klaff, CEO of Surety, LLC. “Not surprisingly, this year’s Email Security and Authentication Survey revealed that organizations are extensively using email to collaborate and share business-critical data, and an increasing number of organizations are being called upon to produce email records to meet e-discovery requests. The survey also revealed serious doubt in the ability to authenticate email records in order to ensure their admittance as evidence in court. AbsoluteProof for Microsoft Exchange provides Microsoft Exchange customers with a way to ensure that they will be able to authenticate those critical email records should the need arise for legal or regulatory disputes.” AbsoluteProof for Microsoft Exchange is $25 per seat for unlimited use and is available immediately.

Press Release 2008-05-20T09:47:00-05:00 http://www.surety.com/news/article/051308_surety_email_security_survey/ http://www.surety.com/news/article/051308_surety_email_security_survey/#When:09:31:00Z Lack of Understanding of E-Discovery and Regulatory Requirements Exposes Businesses to Legal and Compliance Risks Reston, VA – May 13, 2008 — Surety, LLC, the leading provider of data integrity solutions, today announced the results of the 2008 Email Security and Authentication Survey. The survey of more than 800 IT security, email security and compliance professionals revealed that 65 percent of respondents lack confidence that their organization's email records would be admitted as authenticated evidence in legal, regulatory or patent disputes. The survey further revealed that more than 80 percent of respondents are concerned about their ability to authenticate email records and attachments and more than 50 percent of respondents remain unclear on new regulations and legal expectations related to email authentication. “During a time when courts have set forth clear expectations for the authentication of electronically stored information (ESI), including email, it is troubling to learn that nearly half of IT professionals responsible for preserving email records are not fully aware of these requirements,” said Timothy Carroll, Partner, Vedder Price P.C. “These findings underscore why so many organizations are turning to content security solutions such as trusted time-stamping to preserve the integrity of their electronic records throughout the chain of custody.” “Courts are wise to the ease with which electronic records can be manipulated,” said Tom Klaff, CEO of Surety, LLC. “High profile cases such as In re Vin Vinhnee and Lorraine v. Markel relate the expectation that electronic records be retained in their original state without alteration. The inability to irrefutably establish that your electronic records and its associated metadata have not been deleted or altered can be costly. These survey findings relate the necessity for IT professionals and legal teams to work together to deploy solutions that ensure litigation-readiness.” Other findings in Surety's the 2008 Email Security and Authentication Survey include: Email retains its position as the most critical enterprise application. Seventy-one percent of respondents indicated that their organization's use email to share information on a wide range of business-critical data, including documents related to company financial information, human resources and Intellectual Property (IP) and contracts with external parties. Email takes center stage during e-discovery and during litigation. Nearly one-third of respondents indicate that their companies have been required to produce email during e-discovery requests and their email records have been used during litigation. Many organizations have been slow to implement appropriate email storage and content security solutions. According to the survey, 48 percent of respondents do not have tools in place to store emails in their original form in a manner that does not leave them susceptible to tampering. Wide-variety of corporate initiatives drive adoption of email authentication solutions. Regulatory compliance, e-discovery concerns, risk avoidance and internal policies mandating improved security represent the top drivers for the adoption of authentication solutions. Full findings for Surety's 2008 Email Security and Authentication Survey are available at: http://www.surety.com/images/whitepapers/Surety_EmailSecuritySurvey_2008.pdf. Survey Methodology The survey was conducted by eMedia USA on behalf of Surety between April 8 and April 23, 2008, and included 808 IT security, email security and compliance professionals.
