Panda Software launches TrustLayer Mail

Johannesburg, 16 Jan 2007

Panda Software, a leading developer and provider of integrated security solutions, has launched its new TrustLayer Mail managed security service.

This service ensures corporate e-mail is free from viruses, spam and other malicious or inappropriate content. TrustLayer Mail service quality is backed by an SLA (service level agreement) to guarantee clients' e-mail is 100% virus-free.

This service is the first to include manual analysis as well as the latest detection technologies. TrustLayer Mail complements signature-based scanning with the TruPrevent proactive technologies for detecting unknown malicious code. It also directly manages analysis of suspicious files at PandaLabs, guaranteeing end-clients 100% detection of viruses in e-mail.

TrustLayer Mail is a fully-configurable, managed service offering anti-virus, anti-spam and content filter features as well as mail continuity to ensure e-mail is not lost when clients' mail servers are out of action.

According to Jeremy Matthews, MD of Panda Software South Africa: "TrustLayer Mail is a genuine cost-saving service for companies as there is no need for investment in dedicated hardware or software. Clients simply pay for the number of active mailboxes, which they can also increase at any time."

Similarly, as junk e-mail is removed before reaching the company, clients also make considerable savings on bandwidth. As this is a managed service, companies do not need to use their own servers to store mail suspected of containing viruses or other threats, as it is stored in Panda's own servers.

Remote management of e-mail also reduces the workload on technical staff. TrustLayer Mail provides reports and logs adapted to business needs and legal obligations.

TrustLayer Mail uses the most advanced security technologies

The TrustLayer Mail anti-virus engine combines signature-based detection of known viruses with proactive detection of unknown threats using TruPrevent Technologies.

Suspicious files are analysed manually at PandaLabs. When TrustLayer Mail detects a message containing a threat, it is stored in quarantine servers, hosted remotely by Panda Software to avoid using clients' resources. Suspicious files are sent to PandaLabs where they are analysed in detail within 24 hours.

The TrustLayer Mail anti-spam service is based on MailShell technology, using artificial intelligence to identify junk mail. The content filtering system allows a series of policies to be defined to ensure correct e-mail usage. For example, administrators can filter out non-work-related attachments, boosting employee productivity.

TrustLayer Mail also includes mail continuity, a service that prevents data loss by storing clients' e-mails in external servers in the event that their own mail servers are out of action.
