Airlock Digital is excited to announce the general availability of Airlock v5.3.3 and v5.2.7 (Long Term Support). These releases are maintenance releases that improve the products overall security, reliability and add a number of usability improvements, key highlights of v5.3.3 include:

In this Risky Business News interview, Tom Uren talks to Daniel Schell, CTO and David Cottingham CEO of Airlock Digital. They discuss the security standard that drove innovation and the genesis of Airlock Digital and also how to make sure that standards don’t become box-checking exercises.
