Consortium of Multinational Oil Companies Secure their Extranet with advanced security products from SSE SSE - A Siemens Company, specialising in secure e-business solutions, has partnered with Fellesdata, a leading Nordic IT solution provider, to address the security needs of a multinational oil consortium. The consortium consists of Norway's largest oil companies; Norske Hydro, Saga Petroleum and major global players such as Statoil, Shell, British Petroleum and Amoco. By using SSE's award winning Secure e-mail plug-in, TrustedMIME� for Lotus Notes and MS-Outlook, and Fellesdata Trust Centre as a Trusted Third Party Service, they have created a highly secure Extranet. These dynamic companies maintain their competitive-edge by investing in innovative technology. Industry-wide oil exploration projects involve combining the unique skills, research and development expertise and exploration efforts of leading oil companies. By pooling resources for specific exploration projects "virtual" lines of communication and communication networks are established via an Extranet, called "Secure Oil Information Link" (SOIL). This allows flexible and timely sharing of highly sensitive information relating to the oil exploration project for all project members, in a secure manner. The Secure Oil Information Link (SOIL) Extranet has benefited these companies enormously. SOIL has simplified business communication and enhances co-operation initiatives. By using SSE's Secure Internet mail plug-in TrustedMIME, a sound foundation for SECURE electronic co-operation is provided. Moreover, SOIL acts as a new virtual market place for new services to the Petroleum industry. TrustedMIME� offers an extremely cost-effective means of establishing a highly secure channel for internal and external business communications. It is a user-friendly, e-mail security solution that guarantees complete confidentiality and integrity of e-mail messages and file attachments, by providing strong 128-bit encryption technology. The strength of the cryptography is essential when sending sensitive corporate data over the Internet. TrustedMIME is compliant with S/MIME, the industry de facto standard for secure mail over the Internet. The solution allows users to encrypt and digitally sign messages, protecting sensitive data, while also ensuring complete message integrity and authentication. Furthermore, the flexible design of TrustedMIME ensures that it supports a variety of Trust Model configurations, e.g. SSE's highly scalable TrustedCA�. TrustedMIME, can be seamlessly integrated with standard e-mail packages, Microsoft Outlook (97/98), Microsoft Exchange (V4/V5), Lotus-Notes (V4.6). TrustedMIME has been optimised for use with Outlook 98 and in addition, offers automatic certificate expiry handling, support for non-standard X.509 certificate extensions and a range of new TrustedMIME/Corporate features. TrustedMIME/Corporate allows an organisation to customise TrustedMIME to implement its security policy. Using TrustedMIME/Corporate, an organisation can define and enforce an enterprise-wide policy for secure email, reducing administration costs and offering user-friendly, pre-configured secure email to employees. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, SSE, a Siemens company, is a leading provider of state-of-the-art security solutions for e-business environments. Acknowledged globally as leaders in military messaging, SSE's expertise in advanced software solutions for Secure E-Business Communications is unparalleled. In addition to TrustedMIME�, SSE's portfolio of products include TrustedWeb�, an advanced Intranet/Extranet security solution, TrustedWeb Lite, providing strong Web Security, TrustedDoc allowing for documents to be digitally signed and time stamped, TrustedCA�, a Certification Authority product, TrustedEDI, a security toolkit for EDI applications and X.400-MIL, a market-leading Military Messaging product to NATO standards.
