Physical and
electronic document management specialist,
Cave Tab Ltd is helping UK
organisations meet their environmental
targets and commitments with the launch of
tabZEROfile, the UK’s first carbon neutral
file folder.
Whilst many of today’s office products are
manufactured using recycled materials,
tabZEROfile is the only completely carbon
neutral file folder currently on the market.
By taking a holistic view of the product
manufacturing lifecycle – including
packaging, transportation and disposal –
Cave Tab has developed a 100% recycled, acid
free product with recyclable and reusable
packaging.
And whilst it is impossible to manufacture
products without generating CO2, Cave Tab
has partnered with US-based Zerofootprint
Group to calculate and offset these
emissions by contributing to the Garcia
River Forest in Northern Carolina,
California’s first large nonprofit-owned
working forest. The forest is primarily
planted with redwoods which store more
carbon per acre than any other forest type.
Sustainable management of the Garcia River
Forest enables the storage of more than
77,000 tons of carbon emissions annually,
equivalent to taking more than 14,000 cars
off the road every year.

gateway products and the provider of unified
web security solutions for the enterprise
market, is proud to announce that the US
District Court in Delaware has ruled in
favor of Finjan, affirming a jury verdict
against Secure Computing Corporation
currently owned by McAfee. The Court
issued a permanent injunction against the
sale of the WebWasher and TSP Products for
infringement of Finjan’s U.S. Patent Nos.
6,092,194 / 6,804,780 / 7,058,822. The Court
also affirmed the jury’s damages award and
determination that the infringement was
willful and enhanced the damages’ award for
the wilful infringement of Finjan’s patents.
The Court also agreed with the jury’s
determination that Finjan does not infringe
any of the patents asserted by Secure
Computing.
“It is an important day for Finjan and a
great win for Finjan’s web security
technology,” said Gadi Maier, Chief
Executive Officer at Finjan. “We are pleased
with the Court’s ruling regarding our
ownership rights to this technology and
Finjan will enforce the injunction we
obtained. Cybercrime continues to soar as
was evidenced in the recent case of 130
million credit card details being
successfully stolen by cyber criminals who
designed their attacks to overcome
traditional anti-virus protection. Finjan’s
real-time web security technology via
on-site appliances and cloud-based security
is designed specifically to provide
real-time protection against these types of
advanced web threats and cyber crime

ARX
and Cap Gemini have implemented the
CoSign digital signature solution at the
Hoge Raad der Nederlanden, the Dutch
Supreme Court. By deploying CoSign, the
Dutch Supreme Court eliminated the need to
reintroduce paper into their workflow for
signing purposes, completing the final step
in their paperless processes.
The Dutch Supreme
Court reviews thousands of lower court
decisions each year. This responsibility
results in an enormous archive of official
documents. In order to better handle and
access their documentation, the court
decided to migrate their workflow process to
an Open Text Document Management System,
requesting Cap Gemini to coordinate and
advise on the project. However, even with a
document management system, court documents
that required signatures needed to be
printed, reintroducing paper into the
workflow together with the associated costs
and delays. A digital signature solution for
Open Text was an ideal resolution, as it
removed the court’s need to print
documentation for signing purposes and
allowed it to fully leverage the benefits of
its document management system.

Canon UK, world
leader in digital imaging technology, has
today announced the launch of a Software
Development Kit (SDK) for its market-leading
ScanFront 220/220P network scanners. Two
levels of the development package are
available to independent software vendors
(ISVs) through this SDK, a User Interface
Customisation Tool and an Add-in SDK.
With the User Interface Customisation Tool,
developers can quickly and easily create
branded or customised skins on the display
of the ScanFront, such as adding end-users’
company logo or corporate colours. The
ability to provide this level of
personalisation gives developers an
opportunity to create unique customer
propositions when selling Canon’s
market-leading network scanners, allowing
greater differentiation in the market.
The new Add-in SDK enables ISVs to develop
their own unique document capturing
solutions that enhance the existing
functionality of the ScanFront 220/220P
scanners. These might include creating
customised and unique device logon
processes, or adding the ability to capture
vital meta-data information for easy
integration with Enterprise Content
Management (ECM) systems.

Ipswitch, Inc. File Transfer
division, the leading developer of
comprehensive secure and managed
file transfer solutions, has
announced its sponsorship of a new
benchmark report called File
Transfer is Not What it Used to Be:
It's Secure, Reliable and
Well-Managed, published by
Aberdeen Group, a
Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HHS).
This report explains why the time
has come for file transfer to come
out of the basement and gain
recognition for what it is: as a
mission-critical, enterprise-class
application.
 "Managing
the surprising degree of complexity
that can be involved in the simple
notion of transferring files from
point A to point B cannot be the
best allocation of any
organization's limited IT resources,
or end-user time and effort," said
Derek E. Brink, vice president and
research fellow for IT Security,
Aberdeen Group. "Aberdeen's research
has shown that persisting in the
digital do-it-yourself approach to
file transfer is not secure, not
convenient, not compliant, and
definitely not 'free.'"
Five key findings from the
research:
1. Best-in-Class companies (top 20%
of surveyed companies) experienced
10 times fewer data loss or data
exposure incidents related to file
transfer in the past 12 months
compared to Laggards (bottom 30%).
2. Based on an average cost per
security incident of $640,000,
Best-in-Class companies avoided more
than $6M in expenses in the last 12
months compared to Laggard
organizations.
3. Best-in-Class companies save
$150,000 in net present value for
every full-time equivalent help desk
staff assigned primarily to file
transfer-related issues.
4. On an annualised basis,
Best-in-Class companies reduced
simple human error (e.g., policy
violations) related to file transfer
by 6.5% compared to Laggards.
5. In comparison to Laggards,
Best-in-Class companies reduced the
number of audit deficiencies related
to file transfer by 6.3% over the
past 12 months.
Today’s file transfer solutions have
quietly transformed themselves into
full-featured, enterprise-class
solutions that enable secure,
reliable and well-managed webs of
critical connections for
person-to-person collaboration and
process-to-process integration. As a
prime example of the modern
"plumbing" that enables
collaboration and integrates
business processes, secure and
managed file transfer solutions have
specifically been designed to
liberate overburdened administrators
and end-users from the cost and
complexity of managing file
transfers in the typical
heterogeneous IT computing
infrastructure. Secure, managed file
transfer also addresses many of the
security and cost shortcomings of
physical "copy and carry" delivery
mechanisms and legacy "digital
do-it-yourself" file transfer
approaches.
A complimentary copy of the
File Transfer is Not What it Used to
Be report is made available
in part by the support of Ipswitch
File Transfer.

 Large
format scanner users expect fast and
effective devices that are easy to operate.
A large format scanner meeting today’s
expectations might look something like this:
ready for use in a few minutes without
installation work; a scanner that is
operating system independent, a scanner that
reaches an unrivalled scan speed and an
uncompromising scan quality, a scanner that
scans very long documents and processes
large volumes of data quickly and safely.
Large format scanners outfitted with the
patented Scan2Net® technology meet all of
these demands for a state-of-the-art
scanner.
WT36-USBThe HTML based Scan2Net® technology
is the platform for operating the scanner.
Scanners outfitted with this technology
require only a network connection and can be
used with every operating system. For more
than ten years, this intelligent platform
has provided users of not only Windows based
PCs but all operating systems including
Linux and MacOS to quickly and conveniently
digitalize with Scan2Net® scanners.
With only few steps, the user configures the
device for operation: unpack the scanner,
set it up, connect the power cord and the
network cable and switch on the device. The
installation work is minimal. Scan software
or special drivers are not required. The
only prerequisite: a network connection and
a browser.
