WebShare is qualified for use in environments requiring the highest security.
Garbsen, Germany (PRWEB) May 3, 2004 -- HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading
provider of file, print and prepress server solutions has announced the
integration of the HTTPS protocol into HELIOS WebShare, the highest-performance
server for real time remote file access. This new feature encrypts file content
during transfers, and prevents documents from being spied upon while data
packets are in transit. In addition to the already existing password encryption
for secure log-ins to WebShare volumes, the software now also supports security
certificates. For this reason, WebShare is qualified for use in environments
requiring the highest security.
HELIOS WebShare makes remote use of file
servers via the Internet as easy as if working on a local workstation. WebShare
users can securely access a file server via Internet or Intranet, browse files
and their content, download or upload files, create folders and manage files as
if they were working on a local file server. WebShare runs as a standalone
application on all major UNIX platforms, as well as Linux and Mac OS X. Windows
2000/2003 Server support is forthcoming.
The HELIOS WebShare HTTPS
support has been completely developed in Java, which replaces the previous
Apache/SSL tunnel solution. Enabling this feature is as simple as setting a
preference, with no additional installation or integration efforts.
Also
included is a dummy security certificate with documentation on how to create
your own certificates, as well as how to have them validated by internationally
acknowledged verification agencies. The user obtains all necessary information
to secure data transfer between their customers and the internal file server in
three different security standards, according to their needs. See the
documentation at http://www.helios.de/support/manuals/WS-e/HTTPS-add.html
The
HTTPS feature for HELIOS WebShare is provided as a free downloadable update for
all HELIOS customers with WebShare Software Upgrade Service Agreements. More
information about HELIOS WebShare and the security standards it offers is
