Cisco Systems Inc., Microsoft Corp. and EMC Corp. will act in alliance to help government agencies share information more securely, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The effort, called the Secure Information Sharing Architecture, or SISA, is a response to problems that 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, according to the report.
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, the report added.
