Business Travelers Protect Email and Critical Files On the Road with The Bat! Voyager Pro and Dekart Private Disk

(August, 23, 2006) Smart road warriors have a new weapon to protect sensitive client data and guard against malicious virus attacks while retrieving email on the road. The Bat! Voyager PRO combines the award-winning The Bat! portable email client with powerful encryption software Dekart Private Disk and a unique Disk Firewall, all pre-loaded onto a convenient 256MB flash drive. With The Bat! Voyager PRO, business travelers can securely manage personal email from any computer with an Internet connection, while accessing their entire email archive and address book with no extra installation required.

Mobile email users simply insert the The Bat! Voyager PRO flash drive into a USB port and enter a PIN code to safely process emails and protect critical data when working on vulnerable hotel and wi-fi networks or traveling overseas. No information is left on the computer, and email messages can be encrypted to ensure that private information remains private along the entire communications chain. The Disk Firewall feature gives added protection to data and corporate networks against attacks through remote email access points – often the weakest link in the security chain.

With new federal privacy rules and heightened concerns about personal data theft, email security is fast becoming a top priority for companies and mobile business professionals. Fifty-seven percent of U.S.companies reported being hit by viruses over the last year, mostly through email, according to a recent survey by InformationWeek and Accenture. Worms and viruses exploit security vulnerabilities found in many email programs to install harmful trojans that help potential intruders break into computer networks.

The Bat! Voyager PRO is the only mobile email product of its kind on the market, delivering a cost-effective, user-friendly solution with Dekart Private Disk's NIST-certified 256-bit encryption technology to ensure security regulatory compliance.

Dekart Private Disk is a hard disk encryption software with a unique feature set, combining strong, NIST-certified AES 256-bit encryption with the best tools needed to build a protected infrastructure, where information can be processed in a secure way. Private Disk is compatible with virtually any version of Windows, from the discontinued Windows 95, to the latest 64-bit releases of Windows XP and Windows 2003.

The unique Disk Firewall feature is a great addition to encryption that adds extra application-level protection to files, further ensuring privacy. The user defines a list of trusted applications that can access the drive, and all other applications are rejected automatically. Viruses and worms are locked out, and intruders are prevented from using copy programs to capture valuable information.

The Bat! Voyager PRO includes the advanced technology of the popular The Bat! Professional email client, including super fast processing, support for multiple POP3 accounts from all major email clients, spam blockers, built-in backup and restore functions, email templates, and powerful message filtering and automated handling tools to help manage large amounts of email more effectively. With total plug and go mobility, business travelers can even download email to The Bat! Voyager PRO and process it offline, making productive use of those long plane rides.

With literally millions of satisfied users worldwide, The Bat! email client has received numerous editor’s pick awards, including from CNET, ZDNet, PC Magazine, PC Week, and CHIP. The program runs under Windows, and the flash drive is fully USB 2.0 compatible. TheBat! Voyager is a must-have solution for any traveler who needs to work safe no matter where business takes you.

The Bat! Voyager PRO costs $79(US) for a single-user license, and can be purchased online at http://www.dekart.com/store/integrated_solutions/thebat_voyager/
