Original Press Release:
eSoft's Newest SpamFilter SoftPak(TM) Adds Advanced Technology for Comprehensive Anti-Spam in a UTM Appliance
eSoft Also Debuts New Email ThreatMonitor(TM) Interface
BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 17 -- eSoft, Inc., a leading vendor of integrated Internet security and content management solutions, announced today a new release of its SpamFilter SoftPak for the InstaGate(TM) Integrated Security Gateway. This release brings advanced Anti-Spam technologies to eSoft customers, including administrative and user quarantine tools to simplify and automate maintenance, and integrated tools that automatically learn to differentiate spam from good email.
eSoft SpamFilter helps prevent spam from reaching end users by filtering messages delivered from questionable sources, thereby helping streamline network bandwidth, saving server disk space and improving employee productivity. In addition to existing RBL, rule-based scoring and custom white and black list capabilities already available in SpamFilter, the new release includes the following features: Bayesian filtering, heuristic analysis, sender policy framework (SPF), address verification, historical averaging, Outlook plug-in, user quarantine notification, and automated quarantine maintenance. The new features automatically train SpamFilter to recognize and filter spam with fewer false positives before they get to users' mailboxes.
"Frankly, I am just speechless about eSoft's new SpamFilter," said Myke Creager, Systems Administrator with Receivables Management Solutions. "It has resolved a major issue with spam emails we have been receiving for months. [With] the Bayesian Filters, we just don't see spam emails anymore."
"The features added to this release are not available in other UTM devices," said Scott Lukes, eSoft's Vice President of Marketing and Product Management. "The UTM players almost all began as firewall/VPN vendors and are now adding more security services on their existing platforms. However, some of these services, such as anti-spam, have requirements that cannot be accomplished on traditional hardware platforms used to make firewall/VPN devices. We've developed our hardware to support the most comprehensive set of security services available on a UTM device. With the new SpamFilter, our customers can focus on their core business rather than spending time, money and resources fighting spam. The entire solution truly helps companies to improve their bottom line from the very first day it's used."
Email ThreatMonitor
eSoft is also introducing its new Email ThreatMonitor Interface for both InstaGate and Threatwall(TM) gateways, which displays graphs, statistics and reports on email filtering for Spam, Virus, Phishing, and Spyware threats so that network security professionals have the most comprehensive information available for fighting spam and other malware. This interface also provides a quick status and link to the Spam quarantine and links to detailed, searchable reports on all email activity.
Availability
eSoft's latest Anti-Spam ThreatPak for Instagate(TM) and the new Email ThreatMonitor Interface for InstaGate and Threatwall(TM) are available immediately. More information is available at http://www.esoft.com/
