E-SOLUTIONS AND EQUIFAX WORK TOGETHER TO HELP BUSINESSES COMBAT FRAUD
New email service to be showcased at InfoSecurity Europe
London 24th April 2007 – Leading digital certificate provider, Equifax, has entered an agreement with technology consultants, e-Solutions, to provide digital certificates for its secure email service. The threat of fraud in electronic transactions has deterred many businesses from using this technology, Equifax’s SecureMark digital certificates provide an unparalleled level of security, enabling businesses to confidently transact online, and minimise fraud risk.
e-Solutions offer a range of intelligent email management solutions, which enable businesses to improve their operational efficiency, comply with regulatory requirements and keep valuable data and information secure and confidential. Equifax’s SecureMark electronic identity authentication and digital certification service will be integrated into e-Solutions’ Secure Email Service to provide its customers with a highly secure and efficient email communication process.
Accredited by tScheme, the independent trusted accreditation body, Equifax SecureMark is the only solution recognised as meeting the requirements for authenticating an individual online and providing a certificate under the Electronic Signatures Regulations. It was therefore the obvious choice for e-Solutions to use in its Secure Email Solution service.
Angus Stewart, CEO of e-Solutions, comments: “As a provider of innovative email solutions, we understand that businesses need services that address both efficiency and security. We needed an identification and authentication solution that would offer our customers the best protection from online fraud. Equifax SecureMark offers us just that, as it is the only tScheme accredited solution that authenticates individuals online.”
Neil Munroe, External Affairs Director, Equifax confirmed: “We are delighted to be working with e-Solutions to bring the benefits of SecureMark to customers using its Secure Email Solution. SecureMark demonstrates Equifax’s commitment to helping businesses minimise the risks of fraud without comprising their level of service. It offers a fast effective means of authentication, which has been seamlessly incorporated into e-Solutions’ secure email system.”
As Europe’s leading data security conference, InfoSecurity Europe will showcase the most innovative products and services on 24-26 April 2007 at London Olympia. e-Solutions will be featured on Stand Number E251.
