Helping users of social networking services to protect, deliver, track, control and monetize their valuable documents and media, CertiVox has unveiled what it called “the world’s first and only” Web 2.0 Security Service.

 

Although the number of people who use social networking facilities to share digital content is on the rise, the fears about possible security breach is holding many of them back. Many users fear the safety of the information they post on these sites, and hence, the social networks have not reached their potential as yet.

 

To bring ease of use to the content protection and secured content delivery markets, CertiVox makes use of its innovative folding key encryption technology. It takes less than 60 seconds to sign up and start protecting your documents and media, according to the company. CertiVox adds much needed data protection controls to the social networks so that all information is kept confidential using innovative and advanced encryption technologies.

 

Said CertiVox CEO Brian Spector, “I’ve spent my entire career in information security. The problem has always been making data protection easy enough and affordable so that the average computer user could have some control over their information for all situations. CertiVox is the answer to this problem. We envision a wide range of business professionals taking advantage of what CertiVox offers.”

 

CertiVox also allows post-delivery control, branding, tracking and audit capabilities. It also facilitates targeted branding campaigns to be run on top of the distributed protected content. It can be used by lawyers who need to protect the information they send to clients, accountants who are worried about protecting information in accordance with SOX, engineers worried about protecting their intellectual property, and so on. The company is currently offering both a free and premium version.

 

Recently, the company started selling a personal distribution network service not to businesses, but end users themselves. CertiVox, with either the free version or commercial plan at $19.99 USD a month, officially went public on their security service that offers users their own distribution network, enabling them to deliver, track, audit and totally control the usage of their content.
