Barbedwire Technologies Adds Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection Technology to Its Anti-Spam Arsenal
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 2004--Commtouch(R) (Nasdaq:CTCH), the innovator of industrial-strength anti-spam solutions featuring Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) (TM) technology, and Barbedwire Technologies, the emerging value leader in high performance security solutions for medium and enterprise class networks, today jointly announced at INBOX in San Jose that the Commtouch Anti-Spam engine is now available in the recently launched Barbedwire Technologies DP Inspector series of security appliances, which feature anti-virus and anti-spam protection. DP Inspector won the recommended award in SC Magazine for Firewall products.
The Recurrent Pattern Detection technology from Commtouch is an added available layer of spam protection, in addition to the SpamAssassin Antispam engine. The double dose of anti-spam protection offered by DP Inspector features text analysis, Bayesian filtering algorithms, black listing capability, user level white listing management, enhanced SSL connectivity and access to quarantined messages and the availability of quarantine alerts and quarantine mailbox graphical user interface.
Said Rocky Aroda, vice president of marketing at Barbedwire Technologies: "Our DP inspector appliances now offer the Commtouch Anti-Spam engine featuring Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) Technology, the best anti-spam protection available in the market. Our strength in security technology and integration enabled us to efficiently enhance DP Inspector with RPD. The payoff to enterprises is high as no additional IT and networking infrastructure is needed to reap the benefits of RPD. RPD was recently described in an IDC white paper titled `Choosing the Best Technology to Fight Spam' as having two distinctive and key advantages: first, its proactive, real-time analysis of Internet email traffic and responses to queries from spam detection engines minimizes delays; second, its reliance on detecting spam outbreaks, rather than individual spam characteristics, means that spam and nothing but spam associated with bulk mailings is blocked. With Commtouch's RPD embedded, our customers will see detection of nearly 100% of their spam."
Mark Uicker, vice president of business development at Commtouch, said, "Commtouch is pleased that Barbedwire Technologies is the newest OEM within the security appliances space to recognize Recurrent Pattern Detection technology as the very best in preventing spam from invading email boxes of an enterprise. The integration process was seamless and we're looking forward to providing great value to Barbedwire Technologies customers without any additional IT infrastructure required on their part."
Barbedwire Technologies DP Inspector appliances featuring Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection technology are available from $1,495 and scale up to thousands of users. The DP Inspector includes a firewall, VPN, deep packet filtering technology to automatically prevent threats, antivirus and antispam and may be further upgraded with URL filters, IDS, vulnerability scanner, WiFi security, and a Securtiy Event Management System (SEMS).
