  Asgent Inc. (President & CEO: Takahiro Sugimoto, Tokyo)announces its launch of Votiro Secure File Gateway, a new offer of Votiro Cybersec Ltd. (United States, CEO: Ravi Srinivasan) provided as SaaS, which company’s products Asgent has been selling for years.

Votiro’s CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) solution focuses on the possibility that a file may contain malware and sanitizes any file coming in from outside. Votiro provides safety of sanitizing files with higher accuracy than other products as well as usefulness of recursively sanitizing embedded files. On top of these, its largest market share (*1) has been encouraging many customers to implement this solution. Since Votiro Disarmer, an earlier version of the product has been installed to local governments across 46 prefectures in Japan (*2), the brand is now considered practically de facto.

In recent years, there have been calls for a SaaS version of Votiro solution to meet the needs of users who do not want to be aware of the server resources required to perform the CDR process, or who do not have in-house engineers specializing in this area but want an easy-to-implement solution. Votiro Secure File Gateway is a solution that meets that demand; users do not need to be aware of resources on their premises anymore because in this solution files are processed in Votiro Cloud deployed on the Internet, of which service region can be chosen from within Japan or overseas. Besides, users can securely open any file they receive without worrying about their possible harm by integrating Secure File Gateway to Internet gateways such as web, mail and file servers. In addition to formats including Microsoft Office, PDF, image and compressed files, Votiro Secure File Gateway will support video files in the future.

Votiro Secure File Gateway will be available from August 23 on.
