CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, August 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Verdasys,
Inc., a leading supplier of enterprise information protection (EIP)
solutions, has renewed its OEM agreement with Autonomy to extend their
strategic partnership. Verdasys leverages Autonomy's core infrastructure
software, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), to power Verdasys
Digital Guardian, a content inspection and data classification solution used
by leading financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology
companies.
Verdasys first integrated the Autonomy technology into its Digital
Guardian product in November 2006, offering content inspection, discovery and
classification of sensitive data on networks, email, host machines and
servers across the extended enterprise for data at rest, in use, and in
motion. Over that time, this integrated technology has been successfully
deployed by over 100 customers and to more than 300,000 users worldwide,
including several very large implementations with government institutions in
both the US and abroad.
"We have designed the Verdasys Digital Guardian solution to benefit from
the rich capabilities of the Autonomy IDOL engine, which include powerful
language support and highly accurate detection capabilities," said Seth
Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Verdasys. "These technologies have
combined to create the most differentiated and comprehensive solution in the
EIP market, and have allowed us to accelerate the momentum of our business
across multiple industry verticals and geographies."
"We are proud to help Verdasys deliver such a strong and comprehensive
product to the EIP market," said Stouffer Egan, Chief Executive Officer,
Autonomy Inc. U.S. "The rapid uptake of the product is a result of the
innovative design of the Verdasys Digital Guardian architecture and the power
of IDOL's Meaning Based Computing technology. We look forward to continuing
our very successful relationship with Verdasys as we deliver innovations that
meet the evolving needs of the data loss prevention market."
