Let's say you have an important document, something you want to keep utterly confidential. Yet, you need to show it to someone outside your organization. Well, you can use any of the various service providers that claim to be able to store and share your documents safely online, letting only those you permit to see your precious files.
But let's just say this document is ultra important, intended only for the eyes of the recipient. This doc is so vital you fear that someone (even the recipient) might use a cell phone or digital camera to photograph it while it's on the screen of the recipient.
Well, there is a service that has thought through that problem and offers something called Watchdox Spotlight.
Moti Rafalin, CEO of Confidela Inc. in Mountain View, Calif., which offers Watchdox, calls Spotlight " a service for extreme security."
Indeed, the online demo of Spotlight is very cool. It shows how the service obscures the file from view except for the portions that you hover over with the mouse. You can change the amount of viewable area of the document by tapping the space bar while moving the mouse. There's never enough of a file revealed to be seen by a passerby with prying eyes or camera.
Rafalin acknowledges that few users of his Watchdox secure document service, now in beta, use the Spotlight capability. But it might just be the nifty feature that distinguishes his service from the herd.
