Security Label Capabilities in M-Switch
May 10, 2012

Preventing messages from going to systems or users who do not have appropriate Security Clearance (access control) and Security Label conversion (eg between different policies) are important issues for messaging in security sensitive environments, such as cross-domain military operations.

A new whitepaper on the Isode website looks at how Isode’s M-Switch product can make use of Security Labels to perform Access Control and how it can map between a wide range of Security Label formats and message transport mechanisms.

Using Isode Security Label Server for EDRMS
April 23, 2012

A new whitepaper on the Isode website looks at how the Isode Security Label Server product can be used to provide Security Label and Security Label based Access Control services for an external application, via a simple interface which gives good functional separation and low integration cost.

EDRMS (Electronic Document and Records Management System) is used as an example application, to illustrate the benefits of this approach and to consider how best to use Security Labels with EDRMS.

M-Link now on DISA Approved Products List
April 12, 2012

Isode’s M-Link XMPP Instant Messaging and Presence Server and Swift XMPP Client have been approved for inclusion on the US Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Capabilites Approved Product List (UC APL) by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).

M-Link and Swift are the first and only XMPP products to successfully complete the APL certification process and were listed after passing a series of rigorous information assurance (IA) and interoperability (IO) tests performed under real-life conditions by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) at their Ft. Huachuca facility in Arizona, USA. 

Isode also becomes the first UK company to obtain a listing for one of its products.

DISA describes the APL as:

.. the only listing of equipment by DoD to be fielded in DoD networks. DoD components are required to fulfill their system needs by only purchasing APL listed products, providing one of the listed products meets their needs. This means the APL must be consulted prior to purchasing a system or product.

Instant Messaging and Multi-User Chat are an increasingly important communication option for modern armed forces and the APL listing is an important step in expanding M-Link’s use by Military and Government departments in the US and further afield.

Isode at ATC Global, Amsterdam
March 13, 2012

Aviation messaging (using the AMHS standard) is a major market for Isode, which we address through a number of Aviation partners. Many of our partners exhibit at ATC Global, the major European exhibition for the aviation industry, and Isode staff make an effort to attend each year.

This year Isode CEO Steve Kille and Account Manager Susan Patterson spent a day meeting with Isode’s partners.

The feedback we get from ATC Global allows us to keep ahead of the latest trends and developments in the aviation industry so we can be sure we’re providing our customers with the technologies they require.

Our Aviation message solutions page provides an outline of the AMHS Architecture and a link to our partners within the Aviation market.

Isode and Swift
February 16, 2012

Since launching M-Link, our XMPP server, we’ve been asked by many organisations if we can supply and support both server and client components of an XMPP solution.

While Isode remains primarily focused on server software, we’ve teamed up with the developers of the Swift XMPP client to offer commercial support contracts for Swift installations. A lot of Isode staff use Swift as their preferred client (it’s free, open source and is available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) and we’ve been recommending Swift in our evaluation guides for some time.

Swift has been partly developed by one of Isode’s engineering team and as a company we have contributed engineering resources to its development, something we intend to continue. In addition we’re also now offering commercial licences and support for the Swiften XMPP Client Library. Swiften is used as the back-end library for Swift.

For more information please contact Isode.
