Original Press Release:
Acuity Solutions Offers Customers BorderWare Security Platform; New Standard for Consolidated Security Across Email, IM and Web
LAS VEGAS, NV, May 15 -- Acuity Solutions, a leading technology consulting firm, 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 Acuity Solutions customers to deploy individual devices to protect different messaging applications.
The BorderWare Security Platform is available today from Acuity Solutions, providing a single integrated policy for customers to protect both inbound and outbound traffic for all communication channels. The BorderWare Security Platform will deliver stronger security, simplified management and high performance while reducing up to 50% of the cost of ownership over point solutions.
"Our partnership with BorderWare helps us provide solutions for our clients that are secure and scalable," said Gary Alu, Acuity Solutions. "BorderWare's innovations are based on consolidated platforms for Email, IM and Web. This allows our customers to incorporate new technologies easily and cost-effectively".
Over the past several months, Acuity Solutions has seen the growth of IM and Web traffic, as well as the sophistication of threats increase, 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.
"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 BorderWare Security Platform, Acuity Solutions 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
o Best-of-breed security integration for Email, IM and Web delivering
consistent security enforcement and ease of use.
Better security for inbound protection:
o 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.
o Tight integration with BorderWare Security Network
(http://bsn.borderware.com/) providing up to the minute reputation
services and threat protection.
Strong outbound content control
o 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
o 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
o On-demand scalability is delivered via advanced clustering ensuring
security availability and performance as demands change over time.
o 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
o 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.
o Total cost of ownership is reduced by as much as 50%.
"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 BorderWare's integrated, simplified solution for half the price."
