Covata and NSC Global Launch Safe Share Into the T-Systems Deutsche Telekom Global Marketplace at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany

Data security company Covata (ASX: CVT), industry partner NSC Global and leading telecommunications company T-Systems (News - Alert) today teamed up at CeBIT Germany to launch Safe Share™ to the European market.

At a time when cloud computing and data security is of the utmost importance in Europe, Covata's Safe Share enables businesses to safely share their data with confidence by encrypting it at the source, before it is stored in any cloud.

Safe Share provides adaptive control over who can access the data and how it can be used; as well as delivers visibility into whom, when and how many times data has been accessed. Securing data at its source provides ultimate flexibility over how data is shared inside an organization and even across untrusted networks and devices.

The launch of Safe Share as a service is targeted at T-Systems clients, including the top 400 enterprise companies and a further 7000 medium-to-large sized companies that sit within Deutsche Telekom's (News - Alert) customer base. These companies together employ more than 6 million staff who will be able to subscribe to Safe Share to protect, control and secure their data in the cloud.

Safe Share is anticipated to be available for purchase by April 2015.

Head of ISV IaaS GTM at T-Systems Ralf Hülsmann, said, "Our focus is on providing cutting edge cloud solutions and we believe Safe Share is a product which will give our customers peace of mind that their data is protected.

"There is high demand for a European hosted, controlled and regulated encrypted file sharing solution amongst our enterprise customers. Today at CeBIT (News - Alert) we are excited to talk about how we are making data security more affordable and accessible with Covata Safe Share."

Yaseen Khan, CEO NSC Global, said, "Safe Share is one of the top secure file sharing products available on the market and the T-Systems sales force are leading the way in Europe by bringing data security to the forefront of their discussions with clients."

Covata CEO Trent Telfor echoed these sentiments: "Leading Managed Service Providers (MSPs) across the globe are offering holistic IT solutions to their customers as they guide them into cloud adoption. T-Systems have chosen Safe Share to add security to and enhance their current stellar suite of business offerings.

"European companies, understandably, have become increasingly wary of US domiciled technology and cloud companies due to the geopolitical business fallout resulting from the PRISM program. Covata, an Australian licensed product being provided through a European-hosted MSP means these businesses have complete ownership of their data.

"Safe Share is what many European companies have been waiting for to shift to cloud file sharing."
