CCNet Presents Innovative Zero Trust Extension for Rocket.Chat in Combination with Forcepoint

CCNet, a pioneer in cybersecurity and data protection, presents a revolutionary extension that leverages its in-depth knowledge of IT market trends and expertise in IT security. This extension is based on Zero Trust technology and integrates the solutions of its partners Rocket.Chat and Forcepoint. The combination of these technologies is specifically designed for Rocket.Chat, aiming to promote secure communication and data transmission by preventing data leaks and potential virus infiltrations through received and sent documents, providing an ideal alternative to Skype for Business.

Partnerships and Technological Background

CCNet has built strong partnerships with leading technology companies such as Rocket.Chat and Forcepoint. By combining the solutions of these partners, the idea arose to develop an extension that establishes a direct connection to the Rocket.Chat communication platform. The main goal was to ensure that the data flow—whether through shared, received, or sent files, including images, Excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, and other file types—does not become a vulnerability for the entire corporate network. This means that data attachments are completely neutralized by a security policy before delivery, regardless of whether they are infected or not. This is the Zero Trust approach and the next generation of anti-malware technology.

Challenges in Modern Communication

Today, communication systems are the backbone of every company. Employees communicate, exchange documents, photos, and other files through online solutions. A significant risk is that an apparently harmless file could contain a virus or manipulative content that, once downloaded, could spread throughout the corporate network. Employees often trust internal communication and assume that a file shared by a colleague or supervisor is safe. This sense of security can lead to major infiltrations. Additionally, there is the question of how to protect sensitive information, such as financial reports, that are accidentally sent to the wrong recipients. This is where the CCNet-developed extension, based on Zero Trust technology, comes into play.

Features of the New Extension

The new CCNet extension integrates two main functions of Forcepoint's Zero Trust technology: Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR): Every sent or received document is reconstructed to ensure it is free from malicious code. Unlike a traditional antivirus program, CDR ensures that all files exchanged via Rocket.Chat contain no harmful content. Upon detecting and cleaning a document, an automatic message "File has been cleaned" is displayed on the sender's screen, and a log is created that records the user, the time, and the cleaned document, providing additional transparency for the organization's security administrator.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP): This function allows companies to implement and customize their policies based on international guidelines such as GDPR. This enables companies to control who can send, receive, forward, or only read documents. This protects sensitive information from unauthorized access and loss. For instance, it can regulate who can send what, when, and where. This is particularly important in the current AI technology generation to prevent operationally relevant information, such as development code, from being sent to public AI platforms.

Publication and Future Prospects

This unique extension will be released in the Rocket.Chat Marketplace in the coming days, further strengthening Rocket.Chat's position as a secure communication platform. For CCNet, this is another testament to their commitment to delivering high-quality and secure solutions based on their expertise in cybersecurity, data protection audits, and software development. This extension offers customers who value security and quality a tailored solution. Compared to other online communication solutions currently available on the market, no other solution offers communication and data flow that is 100% based on Zero Trust technology—the future of cybersecurity—as well as robust document classification (DLP) based not only on internal but also on international guidelines such as GDPR or ISO27001 and other national regulations.

With this new Zero Trust extension, CCNet once again demonstrates its leadership in developing innovative and secure communication solutions. Customers can trust that their data is secure and that all communication processes within the company meet the highest security standards.
