Forsta: Augmenting Cross-Enterprise Collaboration with Encryption

The Massive influx of mobile, digital and cloud-based realities into operational necessities of businesses ubiquitously challenges their data security. Lack of consciousness amongst employees about the way data is created and shared; and the presence of a number of communication channels increases the chances of data falling in the wrong hands or worse, being misused. Legacy methods ousted by the tremendous upswing of digital innovations fail to protect crucial and sensitive information in vulnerable environments. Forsta, established in 2016 helps companies make a massive leap towards ensuring data security with its advanced encryption solutions. With more than 25 years of experience in telecommunication systems, wireless software, internet services, and embedded electronics, Pat Sewall, CEO of Forsta helps the company bring in high levels of security to enterprise data mobility with its encrypted and extensible cross-enterprise collaboration solutions.

Forsta provides complete control of data including on-premise chat, voice, and video to its clients. “We believe that information related to the workflow of enterprises should be owned entirely by them and not to be stored in the cloud of third parties,” says Sewall. Enterprises can use Forsta right out of the box, or integrate its collaboration capabilities into their critical business workflows. “We also offer one of the best solutions in the market for developers wishing to add full-featured collaboration to their existing applications,” adds Sewall.

Enterprise mobility is one of the prime components in business workflows today, and consequently, the privacy and security of data are of utmost importance, especially in regulated industries. Endpoint security systems can never ensure complete security over the increasing threats in the digital world. For instance, while email is still the status quo for cross-enterprise communication, the tools that make it more secure are inconvenient and often bypassed. Unfortunately, leakage of private information is more pronounced in email than any other communication channel.
