Zen Software: New Email Security Gateway launched for Exchange / SMTP Servers; Simple, powerful, and accurate software protection for SMEs against Spam, viruses and other malware

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:02062008

Zen Software today announces the UKlaunch of Alt-N Technologies' newly
developed software product in the fight against spam, viruses,
phishing, spoofing, and other forms of malware that present an ongoing
threat to legitimate email communications. SecurityGateway for
Exchange/SMTP Servers incorporates 12 years of proven email security
expertise and provides affordable email security firewall protection
for businesses around the world.

Designed for both local installation and operation in a hosted
environment, SecurityGateway is a flexible Windows based software
application that for the first time delivers genuinely simple
administration, powerful filtering, and accurate results to Exchange
users.

James Steel, Product Manager at Zen Software, the UK&
Irelanddistributor for Alt-N products, says: "We're excited to add a
security product to our portfolio that addresses the real world
requirements of Exchange administrators. In addition to a plethora of
cutting edge security tools to provide peace of mind, features such as
the ability to enable end users to manage their own quarantine folders,
will appeal to already overworked administrators looking to increase
efficiency."

SecurityGateway for Exchange/SMTP incorporates the powerful SIEVE email
filtering language with proven security technologies into a product
that delivers simple, easy-to-use features to protect, analyse, manage,
and report on the inbound and outbound email traffic patterns of
Microsoft's Exchange Server or any SMTP email server. Alt-N
Technologies' product development team has worked closely with
customers and channel partners from around the world to build an email
security product that offers quick installation, simple administration,
and independent domain management to achieve the strongest security
protection based upon a user's unique email traffic patterns.

"Our focus has always been to do everything possible to keep the junk
messages and other threats out of the user's inbox,"said Arvel
Hathcock, Founder and CEO of Alt-N Technologies. "The need for a cost
effective edge role security gateway filter to protect mail servers
from spam and other forms of Malware has never been greater. However,
without a clear understanding of email technology, many products still
deliver high false positive rates and users remain frustrated with the
performance of their solution. So we have combined our expertise in
email delivery technology with our award-winning email security
features to develop an entirely new product that meets the needs of any
customer using an Exchange or other SMTP email server."

The SecurityGateway for Exchange/SMTP Servers offers many advantages:

--Comprehensive Security Layers- Developed using a complete arsenal of
anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spoofing, and anti-abuse tools,
SecurityGateway incorporates multiple testing methods to deliver
maximum protection for mail servers.

--Simple Administration - Intuitive, task oriented interface allows
already overworked administrators to perform common actions with
minimal effort. Administrative responsibilities may be delegated to a
domain administrator. End users are empowered to determine the fate of
a message without the need to contact the administrator.

--Comprehensive Reporting - Identifying email traffic patterns and
potential problems is simple using SecurityGateway's comprehensive,
real-time reporting features. All reports support point-and-click
drill-down targeting allowing further analysis to be performed quickly
and easily through color coded diagnostics.

--Accurate Detection -Multiple analysis tools for separating threats
from legitimate email leverages the best proven anti-spam, anti-virus,
anti-phishing, and anti-spoofing technologies to produce a 99% spam
blocking rate and achieve nearly zero false-positive results.

--Data Loss Prevention - In addition to inbound mail traffic
filtering, SecurityGateway for Exchange/SMTP also filters outbound
email. An easy-to-use interface allows policies to be created which
detect and prevent the unauthorized transmission of sensitive



information outside of a customer's network.

--Powerful Filtering Engine - SecurityGateway's powerful filtering
engine is based upon the industry standard SIEVE mail filtering
language. This design provides an administrator with an unlimited
ability to extend SecurityGateway's functionality by using new SIEVE
scripts for custom control and policy enforcement of email traffic.


--Defense Layer Customization - A unique control feature that allows
email administrators the flexibility to prioritize the order of
operations a specific security rule will execute when analyzing
incoming or outgoing email traffic. This technique can result in faster
processing of email by allowing the rejection or quarantine of messages
at the earliest stage of analysis.

SecurityGateway for Exchange/SMTP Servers starts at GBP300 and supports
small business as well as Enterpriseinstallations. It will be initially
released as a software product. An appliance form factor is scheduled
to be offered later in the year.
