Syneto adds email security suite

SUNNYVALE: Commtouch and Syneto announced that Syneto, a networking security company offering email and web protection and data backup, has added Commtouch's email security suite, including Commtouch Anti-Spam, Zero-HourTM Virus Outbreak Protection, and GlobalViewTM Mail Reputation Service technologies to its Total Email Security Solution, a new unified threat management (UTM) service.

“Commtouch was our clear choice after having carefully studied the market,” says Syneto chief executive officer Marco Lorenzi. “Integrating the Commtouch technologies is a key strategic choice for Syneto in developing our email market segment. We are confident we raised the bar with Total Email Security, our premium, feature-rich email protection service that comes with an unbeatable price. The Commtouch solutions boosted the performance of our UTM to heights we are very proud of.”

Syneto’s Total Email Security Solution is a subscription-based enterprise-level email security solution for medium and large businesses, combining advanced protection against spam, phishing and malware with powerful logging and reporting options and an easy-to-use configuration. The web-based and command-line interfaces are designed to be user friendly to enable a rapid learning curve.

A press release tells that the Commtouch technologies replaced an array of homegrown grey listing methodologies coupled with SpamAssassin and are now helping Syneto improve spam detection rates and reduce the delivery delays inherent in their self-developed setup. Now, Commtouch’s cloud-based technology detects and blocks spam, phishing and email-borne malware in real-time, protecting Syneto’s clients.

“Our accumulated experience and expertise as market leaders in the security vendor space in general and in unified threat management solutions specifically ensures that we are providing Syneto with a complete solution supporting their unique set of requirements,” said Ofer Tal, vice president, international sales and business development at Commtouch. “Furthermore, because our technology is language-agnostic, we are able to continue to provide quality comprehensive solutions to the Italian and other European markets in which Syneto operates.”

"We are managing an email server with more than 1,500 accounts and 350,000 emails per day, so naturally spam is a great challenge for us,” says Sergio Rossi, IT manager, Netribe Group. “We tried many solutions, but they all turned out to be ineffective or had performance problems. Syneto's new Total Email service reduced the spam to nearly zero; it is by far the most efficient system I have ever used."
