Original Press Release:
eSoft Email ThreatPak(TM) Protects Hosted Email Accounts from Spam and Viruses
SoftPak Update Provides Complete Protection for Hosted Email
BROOMFIELD, Colo., March 21 / -- eSoft, Inc., a leading vendor of integrated Internet security and content management solutions, announced today a new release of its Email ThreatPak SoftPak for the ThreatWall(TM) Content Security Gateway. The new release protects email downloaded from Internet email (POP3) accounts against viruses and spam, as well as protecting email sent directly to corporate mail servers.
eSoft's Email ThreatPak combines the latest spam-fighting technology with a powerful anti-virus engine and content filtering to provide cost-effective and comprehensive protection from email-borne threats right at the gateway. It uses deep packet inspection to monitor all email traffic on the POP3 protocol (commonly used by mail programs such as Outlook Express and Eudora) for spam, viruses and other malicious content and quarantines or deletes it before it can reach users' computers.
Powerful and intuitive maintenance and end-user features of the Email ThreatPak allow IT managers to implement an email security solution quickly and easily. Once deployed, users can instruct the SpamFilter to better recognize junk email and prevent false positives, and each week the ThreatWall quarantines fewer emails and requires less administration as it "learns" to differentiate spam from legitimate business communications.
"Small businesses can capitalize on email accounts provided by their ISPs or web hosting companies for little or no additional cost," said Jeff Finn, President and CEO of eSoft. "However, these accounts are often a security risk because they offer limited or cost-prohibitive anti-virus and spam protection. The ThreatWall with Email ThreatPak eliminates this risk and offers additional network security benefits such as Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention."
Availability
eSoft's Email ThreatPak will be available for ThreatWall 200 and ThreatWall 300 on April 10, 2006. More information is available at http://www.esoft.com/products/softpak_emailtp.cfm.
