Orchestria is one of a relatively new breed of products designed to prevent leaks of sensitive information via network communication
channels. Unlike the network-based leakproofers we reviewed in June, Orchestria uses a client-side agent to monitor e-mail, IM, and Webmail communications at the desktop
and to block noncompliant e-mail messages in real time.
In addition to improving scalability, performance, and ease-of-use, the newly released Version 4.0 adds real-time enforcement
for Bloomberg messaging and Weblog postings, as well as the ability to import and analyze mail journals from IBM Lotus Notes
and Microsoft Exchange and IM archives from FaceTime and Iron Mountain.
In a recent demo, company reps showed how Orchestria 4.0 could enforce e-mail policies without disrupting a user's workflow.
For example, Orchestria blocked a message sent to an inappropriate recipient and a message sent to an external address without
the proper disclaimer. In both cases, the sender was immediately alerted to the violation and was allowed to repair the message
and resend it.
The demo also showcased Orchestria's new SmartQuarantining feature. SmartQuarantining identifies messages that need approval
before delivery, alerts the sender that approval is in the works, and takes advantage of Orchestria's workflow and escalation
capabilities to ensure that approval (or denial) is provided without delay.
Orchestria doesn't provide a GUI for configuring policies, but works with customers to identify their requirements and configures
the rules for them. A library of predefined policies includes sets for identifying price fixing and bid rigging, defamation
of competitors, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley violations.
