Business to Support Slack, Zoom and Workplace by Facebook
Bellevue, WA - As communication
and collaboration platforms become an increasingly essential element of the digital workplace, so too has the need to manage the variety, health and scale of these platforms. To simplify the chaos, Unify SquareTM has unveiled a new suite of cross-platform collaboration management and security tools available as part of an expanded version of its PowerSuiteTM software. Moving beyond the company’s established Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business focus, Unify Square will begin launching dedicated offerings for Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Slack, and Workplace by Facebook in the coming months. With
this announcement, PowerSuite becomes
the first enterprise IT management solution
to comprehensively address meetings, chats, videos, and calls with a single, cross-platform tool.
According to IDC, the global market for enterprise messaging and collaboration is expected to reach $3.2 billion by 2021. Slack has emerged as the early driver of much of that growth within the collaboration-specific sector, while Zoom drives huge growth for video communications, and Microsoft bridges its voice legacy with new collaboration functionality in Microsoft Teams. Yet the market category remains fragmented and
will likely continue so for some time, with pockets of multiple platforms operating
inside organizations. This fragmentation, driven in part by shadow IT alternatives, leaves businesses at risk for security breaches while forcing enterprise IT to make trade-
offs between the needs of the employee and larger business considerations. With this expansion of its PowerSuite software, Unify Square is taking an integrated approach to platform monitoring, troubleshooting, end- user experience issues, and governance to give enterprise IT teams the tools they need to effectively, efficiently, and holistically manage collaboration.
“The digital workplaces of today have
been forced to take a platform-by-platform approach to collaboration. Our PowerSuite software is already known for its innovation in
collaboration and communications strategy,” said John Case, CEO of Unify Square. “This new product expansion represents both an evolution of the Unify Square corporate vision, as well as a notable step forward for the broader enterprise collaboration market. We look forward to working with Zoom, Slack, and Workplace by Facebook as we create this new category of cross-platform IT management solutions.”

AGAT Software Is Extending SphereShield to Assure Security and Compliance for Microsoft Teams
JERUSALEM - AGAT Software has released SphereShield for Microsoft Teams, a solution that addresses security and compliance threats faced by users of the platform. The new solution extends AGAT’s existing product suite, which secures Skype for Business.
SphereShield is offered as SaaS with minimal setup effort, or as an on-premise installation on the customer’s DMZ or cloud servers (such as Amazon or Azure).
Microsoft offers a number of static, user- based policies over messages and meetings which fail to meet common compliance needs that require dynamic content policies based on group and participant type (e.g., federated, guest and internal).
SphereShield’s key features can be implemented with basic Microsoft licenses and include the following:
A granular Ethical Wall engine that applies dynamic, context-based policies depending on domains, groups or users. Policies can be applied to chat, teams and meetings.
Real-time, outbound-only, or full DLP inspection that integrates with leading vendors such as McAfee, Symantec and Forcepoint.
An eDiscovery module that can be implemented on-site or be integrated with leading eDiscovery vendors.
A Risk Engine to monitor all login attempts, showing them on a live map with geo-fencing rules based on domains, group or users.
An antivirus module to inspect files in real time, which can be integrated with leading antivirus vendors such as Kaspersky, Symantec and McAfee.
In addition, AGAT Software is developing conditional access to the cloud with MDM vendors (including MobileIron, AirWatch and BlackBerry) in order to verify that only managed devices can access Teams.
“Unified Communication platforms such as Microsoft Teams allow a plethora of collaboration capabilities any time, from
