MXSweep enhances Email security as a service

SUNNYVALE,USA: Commtouch and MXSweep today announced that MXSweep has further enhanced its email security as a service (SaaS) platform with the addition of Commtouch's GlobalView Mail Reputation Service and Outbound Spam Protection solutions.

This move complements and completes MXSweep's adoption of the full suite of Commtouch email security products, which already includes Commtouch Anti-Spam and Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection.

"We selected Commtouch because its real-time security technologies give us an even greater edge in our market space," said Edward Grant, CEO of MXSweep. "We tested various messaging security solutions, and Commtouch was by far the most robust. The company is also easy to do business with and provides fantastic marketing support, creating a true partnership."

MXSweep is using GlobalView Mail Reputation Service and Outbound Spam Protection as integral parts of its managed services for email. MXSweep provides reseller partners with the flexibility to offer their customers full email security protection, based on Commtouch's complete solution.

With Commtouch, MXSweep's email protection combines effective anti-spam, anti-virus and anti-phishing coverage with uniquely low false positives while it protects against external email threats.

Together, these services help end-customers achieve a smoothly working IT infrastructure that drives efficiency and productivity. In addition, MXSweep's vision is built around its SaaS model and the company will continually be enhancing and adding services for its customers.

"We have tested MXSweep for a number of weeks and are very satisfied. The service, enhanced by Commtouch technologies, is exactly what we were looking for -- a perfect solution to handle spam and other threats from the Internet," said Olli Rikala, CEO of Deferon OY, a customer of MXSweep's.

"We have been working with MXSweep since 2006, and its addition of GlobalView Mail Reputation Service and Outbound Spam Protection to its full email security offering further validates our technology as the ideal solution for service providers looking to strengthen their email protection and reduce operational costs," stated Ofer Tal, VP, international sales and business development at Commtouch. "With Commtouch's technology, MXSweep's customers ensure their end-users are protected against spam, phishing and malware outbreaks."
