VeriSign Enhances Email Security Service; Introduces Multilingual Support
Service Now Available for French, German, Italian, Spanish and Canadian
French Markets
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. and LONDON, ENGLAND – INFOSEC 2005 – April 25,
2005 – VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN), the leading provider of
intelligent infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications
networks, today announced further enhancements to its Email Security
Service, including support for French, German, Italian, Spanish, and
Canadian French. With this expanded language support and capabilities,
VeriSign® Email Security Service can help businesses of all sizes combat
the threat of spam and email-borne viruses. VeriSign Email Security
Service was introduced into the European market in February 2005.
VeriSign Email Security Service uses a cost-effective,
service-oriented strategy that delivers a measurable, immediate return
on investment by improving IT and employee productivity, reducing bandwidth
and storage costs and increasing email reliability. The service
is easy to deploy and provides high levels of availability and accuracy,
providing automatic, rapid updates of heuristics and signatures to reduce
the burden on IT staff. In addition, VeriSign Email Security Service
leverages the VeriSign distributed, scalable infrastructure to provide
99.999% network uptime.
VeriSign has also announced a program which allows
customers to upgrade to VeriSign Email Security Service from other anti-spam
and anti-virus products. Qualified customers receive significant discounts
and a free trial. For more information, please visit: http://www.verisign.co.uk/products-services/security-services/email-security/index.html
In addition to multi-lingual support, new capabilities
in the VeriSign Email Security Service announced today include:
- Search Support
in the Spam Quarantine Interface - End users can now search messages
in their quarantine account by sender’s full or partial email address
and full or partial text in the subject line.
- Improved Policy
Filter Options - Administrators can now redirect (and block) or BCC
(and deliver) inbound and/or outbound email messages which meet the
filter criteria. This feature allows administrators to perform trace
or audit functions on email messages that violate corporate email content
policies.
- New Report
Options - The Spam Report feature now includes spam messages blocked
by the service, submissions to the ‘Abuse and the False Positive’ aliases
by the customers, and a count of the messages recovered from the Spam
Quarantine. This gives administrators a more accurate picture of the
spam filter’s effectiveness.
“With support for international languages, organisations
can now leverage VeriSign Email Security Services to preserve the productivity
gains of email communications while gaining better control of the service
through native language control,” said Chad Kinzelberg, Vice President,
VeriSign Security Services. “Working with our technology partner FrontBridge
Technologies, Inc., we can provide businesses with further enhancements,
including searchable spam quarantine and easier policy implementation,
addressing customer demands for more intuitive, easy-to-deploy
anti-spam and content filtering options.”
Email has become a critical component of day-to-day
business communications. However, spam, email-borne viruses and worms
threaten to reduce the benefits of conducting business via the Internet.
VeriSign Email Security Service provides numerous capabilities to help
eliminate email-based threats and help enterprises achieve high levels
of productivity, including triple-layer spam filtering, multi-engine
virus scanning, policy enforcement, disaster recovery and quarantine
access.
