Empowered ICT infrastructure service provider BCSnet will supply a service that aims to negate the need for customers to worry about desktop security software.
The company, which is also an Internet service provider (ISP), will offer Nasdaq-listed Aladdin Knowledge Systems' eSafe SecureSurfing solution to ensure its business and consumer customers have "clean pipe" Internet access.
BCSnet plans to start offering the product this quarter and expects it to be one of the largest implementations of eSafe SecureSurfing solutions since its release last year.
The platform will allow the Johannesburg-based ISP to offer a security service that inspects and filters Web traffic before it reaches the surfer. This, it says in a statement, will negate the need for ISP subscribers to maintain desktop-based software to thwart threats such as spyware and phishing attacks.
"With little investment upfront [from the company], BCSnet is able to quickly deploy Aladdin's eSafe SecureSurfing solution, further differentiating us from the competition while also greatly expanding revenue opportunities," said Niel De Wet, executive director of BCSnet.
The ISP, which will charge an additional amount for the service, says it includes real-time Web surfing security with four-layer spyware blocking, real-time Trojan and worm blocking, as well as Web e-mail security and anti-virus.
