Webroot Platform Offers New Integrations and HIPAA Compliance
In terms of file sharing, the Webroot platform works very much like the previous Zix version did. It can be added as an extension to an Outlook installation for users, or a dedicated web portal can also be set up.
Once in place, the platform lets healthcare workers send files or groups of files up to 100 gigabytes in size. The platform handles the transfer outside of normal email channels, so although users can easily send files using their email clients, they won’t actually bog down email servers.
With HIPAA compliance in mind, the platform also offers strong digital rights management options. This includes filters for specific regulations and the ability to add restrictions based on file type or the kind of information the files contain. Advanced options even let administrators restrict mail forwarding, limit viewing time or recall documents after they have been shared.
