A new security solution designed to enable organizations of all sizes to block the full realm of malicious code, has been announced recently by IBM. The solution is based on the existing Proventia(R) Network Mail Security System from its Internet Security Systems (ISS) division.
Scott Paisley, Business Line Manager for E-mail & Content Security at IBM Internet Security Systems, said: "With so many organizations falling victim to data leakage and the loss of confidential information in today’s computing environment, a powerful e-mail security product that has the ability to inspect both inbound and outbound communication is a necessary piece of any network infrastructure. Without an e-mail security solution featuring fully automated inspection, that can understand the intent and content of each message, many organizations are left more vulnerable. As more organizations are realizing the benefits of virtualized environments for cutting costs and removing IT complexities, IBM ISS remains at the forefront of the industry by supporting these virtualization initiatives with the cutting-edge security we’ve been delivering to customers for nearly 13 years."
This new appliance offers the same important functions as the original Proventia Network Mail Security System. Unlike many e-mail security products that tend to center solely on anti-spam technology, the IBM ISS solution brings more comprehensive, preemptive protection against messaging threats through one of the industry’s leading intrusion prevention system (IPS) technologies. Even more, in addition to featuring this key technology, IBM ISS’ Proventia Network Mail Security System is created to effectively block both traditional and image-based spam, offering customers a layered solution to guard their messaging infrastructure.
IBM can also add value through a lower total cost of hardware by offering a virtual security solution to verify the integrity of messaging technology deployments. Companies that want to use virtual solutions for key pieces of messaging and collaboration recognize that virtualization can particularly minimize costs and the burden of management for IT organizations.
The new solution is highly scalable and is priced on a tiered basis, making it possible to obtain enterprise class security at prices affordable for businesses of all sizes. The virtual version of the Proventia Network Mail Security System is scheduled to be ready this month. Now, the product supports the VMware virtualization platform, with plans to extend to other platforms in the future.
