Next IT & Systems, Leonard McDowell, and XQ Message announced their collaboration on a new international partnership to bring zero trust data to protect high value applications.
While the concept of zero trust is over 40 years old, XQ has developed the first Zero Trust Data solution to serve enterprise, government, and emerging Smart City applications. This innovative security offering enables data portability between sensors, mobile devices, and cloud infrastructure.
The XQ framework integrates VPN and file encryption into a single solution that governs who, when, and where email, file, and application data is accessed. Access is restricted within geofencing boundaries or other limitations to prevent lateral movement. XQ ensures that file access does not equate to data access, by allowing for encryption, geotagging at the point of capture, and data locking. XQ also offers software integrations that enable email encryption and file encryption on mobile devices. Additionally, XQ Secure Vault, a cloud storage product, provides a transparent data protection solution for cloud applications.
