An array of advanced security features provides businesses with a robust defense against modern cyber threats IceWarp, a true alternative to MS 365, Google Workspace, and maker of unified collaboration and messaging solutions for organizations has unveiled an array of advanced security features designed to safeguard your business from potential threats. Pramod Sharda CEO, IceWarp India and Middle East In a developing country like India, enterprises and small scale businesses plays an important role in developing and sustaining our economy. So it is of prime importance for these enterprises to secure their business from various cyber attacks which can lead to theft of important data. In the year 2022, a report titled ‘Cost of a Data Breach’ prepared by IBM and Ponemon Research Institute stated that India alone saw a massive 29,500 data breaches during the March 2021 and March 2022 period, with the average per record cost of a data breach hitting an eleven-year high costing $176 million loss to Indian firms. To solve this problem, IceWarp’s advanced security features comes into play. IceWarp’s advanced security features provide businesses with a robust defense against modern cyber threats emerging from Email systems. IceWarp equips organizations with the necessary tools to safeguard their communication and data. By leveraging SSL and TLS encryption, DLP, 2FA, and MDM, you can enhance your business’s security posture and protect your sensitive information from unauthorized access. In today’s evolving threat landscape, investing in advanced security features is crucial to ensuring the long-term success and resilience for any kind of business. Comprehensive Anti-Spam and Anti-Malware Protection IceWarp provides a comprehensive defense against spam emails and malware attacks. Its advanced filtering mechanisms effectively identify and block unsolicited messages, reducing the risk of phishing attempts and malicious software infiltrating your organization’s systems. By implementing IceWarp’s anti-spam and anti-malware features, you can significantly enhance your business’s email security and protect sensitive information from being compromised. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) Encryption IceWarp prioritizes the privacy of your communications by offering SSL and TLS encryption protocols. These encryption technologies establish secure connections between email servers, ensuring that your data remains encrypted and protected during transit. By leveraging SSL and TLS encryption, IceWarp safeguards your business’s sensitive information from unauthorized access, enhancing confidentiality and maintaining compliance with data protection regulations. Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) IceWarp’s Advanced Threat Protection goes beyond traditional security measures. This feature employs intelligent algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify and neutralize advanced threats such as zero-day exploits, ransomware, and targeted attacks. By actively monitoring and analyzing incoming and outgoing emails, IceWarp’s ATP detects suspicious patterns and potential security breaches, mitigating risks before they can cause significant harm to your organization. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Email Archiving I ceWarp’s DLP capabilities enable you to define policies and rules to prevent accidental or intentional data leaks. It scans outgoing emails, attachments, and internal communication to detect and block sensitive information from being transmitted outside your organization. Additionally, IceWarp’s email archiving feature ensures compliance and facilitates easy retrieval of past communications, aiding in legal and regulatory requirements. Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) One of the key security features provided with IceWarp is Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC). DMARC provides an extra layer of protection against email spoofing and phishing attacks by enabling domain owners to specify which email servers are authorized to send messages on their behalf. By implementing DMARC, businesses can significantly reduce the risk of email-based threats and maintain the integrity of their brand reputation. Zero-trust IceWarp also offers powerful zero-trust features, including device binding and conditional access, which enhances the security of your business environment. Device binding ensures that only authorized devices can access your organization’s resources, preventing unauthorized access from compromised or unknown devices. With conditional access, you can define specific access rules based on various parameters such as user location, device type, or time of access, ensuring that only trusted users can access sensitive data and applications. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) I ceWarp reinforces user authentication with its two-factor authentication mechanism. By implementing 2FA, businesses can add an extra layer of security to their user accounts. This feature requires users to provide a second authentication factor, such as a temporary code or a biometric identifier, along with their regular login credentials. Two-factor authentication significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised. Mobile Device Management (MDM) Mobile Device management with IceWarp enables organizations to securely manage and monitor mobile devices accessing their corporate email and data. It allows administrators to enforce security policies, remotely wipe data from lost or stolen devices, and ensure compliance with organizational standards. MDM helps protect sensitive information on mobile devices, reducing the chances of data breaches caused by compromised smartphones or tablets. IceWarp is a global leader in developing business email communication and collaboration solutions serving more than 50 million paid users and 50,000 customers worldwide across 50+ countries and has already acquired more than 1200+ customers in India within a span of 8 years.

These new features and enhancements come at a time when industrial data is doubling roughly every two years, and organizations are challenged with how best to turn data into insights and profitable outcomes. “It’s critical that companies learn how to harness this data at an enterprise level to drive intelligent, sustainable, safe and secure operations. Without it, they will continually be playing catch-up in operational efficiency and productivity,” said Kevin Dehoff, President and Chief Executive Officer, Honeywell Connected Enterprise, “Honeywell Forge, which is purpose-built SaaS for vertical markets, is designed to deliver better insights to help address these problems and improve performance.” For Honeywell’s industrial and supply chain customers, new and enhanced applications to the Honeywell Forge Performance+ suite are now available or will be available soon. These include: Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Industrials | Production Intelligence, an advanced analytics and insights solution for industrial end-users, offers key customer benefits, including up to 30% improved worker productivity and up to 3% improved plant throughput. These benefits underscore the fact that business is now entering a new industrial revolution powered by digital innovation. Through outcome-based insights and persona-driven dashboards, Honeywell’s new digital insights solution empowers industrial users by allowing them to spend less time sorting through operational data and more time optimizing performance. Within supply chain, Honeywell is introducing several enhancements to Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Distribution Centers to better enable intelligent operations. Enhanced analytics capabilities include new visualizations of operational KPIs and the introduction of trends for operational KPIs, to help users to see changes over time so they can make productivity adjustments. A new mobile incident response feature allows workers to manage incidents on the go from a mobile device. “Honeywell Forge has helped with recognizing where there are opportunities to either improve productivity and efficiency or prevent any sort of breakdowns with some of our machinery,” said Shawn Keena, Director of Operations at Gordon Food Service, the largest family-owned food service business in North America, “Honeywell Forge has empowered us to ensure that our systems are running properly. That type of consistency has been very important, and our customers feel that.” According to the Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) Consortium and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. process plants may lose more than $20 billion a year from process deviations, 50% which are directly attributable to human errors.2 To further help industrial personnel expand their skills and capabilities, Honeywell Connected Workforce Competency – a new cloud-deployed operations training tool – provides easy access to comprehensive experiential training content, anywhere and anytime, with the addition of new enterprise-wide competency KPI aggregation and reporting. Organizations can now train their personnel to help them prevent abnormal events and human errors, creating the opportunity to decrease training time and to enhance employee effectiveness. “More than ever, the industrial workplace and employees require new technology and training to meet challenges with process modeling and technical knowledge gaps,” Dehoff said, “Our solutions not only help upskill and support the training of industrial workers, but also provide enhanced analytical features to enable organizations to achieve their best performance.” With new and enhanced ready-now solutions across industrials, life sciences, and supply chain, Honeywell continues to drive digitalization and sustainability outcomes for its customers.
