SurfControl E-mail Filter Receives Five Star Stating From CRN
E-mail Filtering and Anti-spam Solution Achieves CRN Test Center Recommended Status From Leading Reseller Publication
SurfControl, the world leader in enterprise Web and e-mail filtering, today announced SurfControl E-mail Filter has received a Five Star Test Center Recommended rating from CRN. The SurfControl e-mail filtering solution, which enables businesses to protect people, systems, and information from spam, spyware, phishing attacks, viruses, and other malicious code, earned the publication's highest rating in the February 21, 2005 issue. CRN lauded SurfControl E-mail Filter for ease of installation and use, its effective filtering environment, and flexibility in allowing administrators to create completely customized filtering policies. According to the CRN review, "The product demonstrates incredible flexibility, allowing administrators to combine rules and actions as needed to create a completely customized filtering solution. The product's reporting and auditing capabilities can help solution providers demonstrate the solution's efficiency and quell customers' ROI concerns. What's more, the reporting capabilities are a powerful ally for investigating policy violations, especially with regard to legislative requirements such as HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley." Among many outstanding features of the solution, the CRN Test Center highlighted how SurfControl E-mail Filter combines several technologies to create an effective environment for filtering spam and phishing attacks, and blocking spyware Web links embedded within e-mail messages. SurfControl's enhanced anti-spam Agent employs e-mail protection techniques including digital fingerprints, heuristics, adaptive reasoning, and lexi-rules. The solution works in conjunction with SurfControl Web Filter to protect businesses against known and emerging Internet threats, by accessing the company's comprehensive Content Database -- which includes more than nine million URLs. "Internet-based attacks come in any form of communication over any type of network from anywhere in the world. This leaves traditional approaches to Internet protection inadequate," said Paris Trudeau, senior product marketing manager at SurfControl. "Solutions focused only on monitoring the Web leave e-mail systems open to attack. Solutions that focus on e-mail only leave doors open for Web-based attacks. SurfControl provides customers with a unified Internet filtering solution that safeguards both Web and e-mail." SurfControl's Security Partner Program, which earned four out of five stars from CRN, includes more than 650 resellers worldwide. Partner benefits include co-branding, qualified sales leads, access to joint marketing funds and competitive discounts. SurfControl's three-tier partner program includes Security, Gold and Platinum levels to meet the needs of VARS and resellers with different business requirements.
