Secure Information Sharing Architecture (SISA) Alliance

SISA combines products from Cisco, EMC, and Microsoft with best-of-breed innovations from Liquid Machines, Swan Island Networks, and Titus Labs to address the urgent need for sharing sensitive materials across organizational, IT, and jurisdictional boundaries.

The Secure Information Sharing Architecture (SISA) breaks through information-sharing barriers with a COTS solution that allows agencies to communicate and collaborate while protecting sensitive internal content. It enables government to consolidate disparate systems and networks into a cost-effective infrastructure to help secure, govern, and accelerate the distribution of mission-critical knowledge.

With SISA, organizations can participate with confidence in communities of trust because they have the controls they need to precisely govern how their information is accessed and used. SISA lets them determine how, when, where, and with whom they will share their information – according only to the requirements of the mission, not the constraints of technology or resources.

Liquid Machines enhances the security services component of SISA with persistent protection of content while it is in use. Liquid Machines also brings detailed auditing of user actions within encrypted files and adds streamlined policy administration tools to Microsoft Rights Management Services (RMS).
