Wall Street Journal
July 10, 2007 - 
Cisco Systems Inc., Microsoft Corp. and EMC Corp. announced an alliance to help government agencies share information more securely. The effort, called the Secure Information Sharing Architecture, or SISA, is a response to problems agencies have in exchanging data because of different security systems. SISA is designed to build on existing software applications, networked storage and networking technologies, including Microsoft's digital-rights-management technology. The three companies, aided by vendors such as Liquid Machines Corp. and Swan Island Networks Inc., plan to lay out a framework for combining the components in ways that will let agencies share information while keeping it confidential.
