BorderWare Security Platform Introduces New Standard For Consolidated Security Across Email, IM and Web

Integrated solution provides stronger security and up to 50% reduction in costs

Toronto, Canada – May 14, 2007 – BorderWare Technologies today announced the immediate availability of the BorderWare Web Security Gateway and BorderWare IM Security Gateway, as well as the evolution of MXtreme into the BorderWare Email Security Gateway, with the launch of the BorderWare Security Platform. The BorderWare Security Platform is the first solution to consolidate Email, IM and Web security in a single platform, removing the need for companies to deploy individual devices to protect different messaging applications. The BorderWare Security Platform is available today, further enhancing the strength of the company’s Email, IM and Web Security Gateways, by providing a single integrated policy to protect inbound and outbound traffic for all communication channels, delivering stronger security, simplified management and high performance while reducing up to 50% of the cost of ownership over point solutions.

“Business communications are converging. It’s not just email. We now have instant messaging, Web, collaborative interaction and blogs,” said Brian Burke, Research Manager, Security Products, IDC. “Organizations need to have consolidated security solutions and integrated products that examine threats, control content and address regulatory compliance needs across all communication channels.”

With the growth of IM and Web traffic, the sophistication of threats has increased, opening the door to a whole new set of security concerns that go beyond email. Each messaging application represents an entry point for blended threats such as malware, viruses, worms, SPIM, phishing, botnets and zombies used for spam campaigns, while exposing organizations to compliance violations, loss of intellectual property, inappropriate web use and more.

"The growing complexity and cost of securing email, IM, and web communications are facts of business that need a strategic response," said Tim Leisman, CEO of BorderWare. "Our proposition is simple: Companies can cobble together various unrelated quick fixes that increase cost of ownership and don’t provide comprehensive security, or they can invest in our integrated, simplified solution for half the price."

With the BorderWare Security Platform, customers no longer have to purchase disparate security products or create multiple policies to secure their networks. Key benefits of the BorderWare Security Platform include the following:

Integrated by design

• Best-of-breed security integration for Email, IM and Web delivering consistent security enforcement and ease of use.

Better security for inbound protection:

• Comprehensive security for Email, IM and Web with integrated protection services including anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware, anti-phishing, zero-day protection and attachment control, consistently applied and updated ensuring solid front line defenses.
• Tight integration with BorderWare Security Network (http://bsn.borderware.com/) providing up to the minute reputation services and threat protection.

Strong outbound content control

• Consolidated content monitoring and filtering providing data leakage protection for sensitive and proprietary information, reduction of financial penalties through adherence to government compliance requirements, and reduced legal and financial risk by enforcing corporate acceptable use policies.

Easy to set up and manage

• Reduced time, effort and costs with a set-and-forget policy management approach, allowing companies to focus on higher value business opportunities within their IT environment than dedicating time to defending their borders from the latest malware or spam attacks.

High performance to meet increasing demands

• On-demand scalability is delivered via advanced clustering ensuring security availability and performance as demands change over time.
• Redundancy and flexible deployment is assured as application-specific security gateways can be run on-demand, on any member of clustered BorderWare security appliances in the network.

Low cost of ownership

• Modular approach enables enterprises to buy what they need now and add on later. Developed as a purpose-built single platform to secure Email, IM and Web, customers can deploy one or all of the BorderWare Security Platform’s suite of security products – Email, IM and Web Security Gateways.
• Total cost of ownership is reduced by as much as 50%.

“Email, IM and Web are mission critical applications for us,” said customer SAAB Group. “BorderWare's strong history of network security and technology innovation, such as the BorderWare Security Platform, will enable us to build a truly integrated messaging security environment that eliminates any risk of system downtime and loss of productivity."

”We have been working with BorderWare for years now and thrilled to be able to provide our customers with the solution they’ve been asking for,” said Thomas Kretzberg, CEO of Networkers AG. “Our customers want a one-stop-shop approach to security, which is why they’re choosing the BorderWare Security Platform as their preferred messaging security solution. There isn’t another solution like it that can ensure a truly resilient security environment across Email, IM and Web as easily and cost effectively as BorderWare has delivered.”
