Geotest, a providers of PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI) and PC-based test products, recently chose PineApp's Mail-SeCure to secure its networks from spam attacks.
The announcement was made after Geotest considered several other alternatives and found PineApp to be the best security provider, with superior levels of protection, usability and value.
Several weeks after installing MailSeCure, Geotest reported a marked decrease in the number of spam messages received, and a complete absence of malicious threats.
“With our previous installed email solution, it became evident that not only regular spam, but most important, malicious spam was getting through the system,” said Ron Yazma, vice president of software engineering at Geotest, in a statement.
Yazma continued: “As we provide testing equipment and solutions, we consider it imperative that the solutions we use are top tier. Once we installed Mail-SeCure, we saw the number of Spam email that got inside our organization practically drop to none, with absolutely zero malicious emails getting through.”
PineApp supplies e-mail and content security systems for corporations and organizations. The company’s Mail-SeCure is an anti-spam solution that combats e-mail threats by integrating five anti-virus engines and 11 anti-spam engines. This effectively stops mail-bombing, backscatter, and denial of service (DoS

) attacks, and blocks viral threats, worms, and Trojan-horses.
“Obviously not all spam solutions in the market are the same,” said Jacob Fox, president and CEO of PineApp, in a statement. “Geotest choosing Mail-SeCure over a leading vendor truly speaks to the power of our solution. With the morphing of email attacks, the ability to protect against Spam that contains malicious code in real time is a necessity. PineApp offers a layered approach to Spam security that provides all the necessary levels of defense for unsurpassed protection and accuracy.”
