Securicom launches ePurifier Version 5

Johannesburg, 29 May 2013

Leading local IT security specialist, Securicom, has announced the launch of ePurifier Version 5 - a feature-rich, cloud-based e-mail security and content management solution that provides unprecedented control and visibility of e-mail.

Offering advanced features and greater integration with corporate systems, ePurifier Version 5, part of Securicom's comprehensive suite of e-mail management system, SecuriMail, is positioned in the premium e-mail security and content control space, giving companies access to complete functionality without the cost of an on-premise solution.

"ePurifier Version 5 brings ease-of-integration and all the functionality typically associated with on-premise e-mail content management systems within the grasp of all businesses. With ePurifier, companies have total control of the management and flow of e-mail, with the ability to define their own rule sets. The system gives companies 360-degree visibility of company e-mail, with drill-down, analysis and reporting capabilities.

"These enhancements are customer-driven. With over a decade experience in providing credible and trustworthy managed IT security services, we know that companies want feature-rich cloud security services and the ability to integrate e-mail content management technologies with their existing systems. Now with ePurifier, companies can have the very best of an on-premise solution without the cost or the headache," says Dries Morris, Operations Director at Securicom.

ePurifier is a complete message management solution encompassing comprehensive message content filtering, anti-spam, recipient validation, anti-phishing and three layers of anti-virus. It is based on best-of-breed scanning and security technologies, which are packaged as an integrated solution to protect against Internet threats, reduce spam, eliminate viruses, prevent phishing, and stop the circulation of inappropriate material based on individual companies' specific rules.

Key features of Version 5 include:

* An interactive, real-time dashboard with tools for full drill-down into individual mail messages; e-mail conversation tracking, and on-demand reporting.
* Advanced reporting capability, including full analysis of threats, message volumes, bandwidth usage, and e-mail user behaviour to deliver meaningful intelligence on usage and the security status of the message system. Reports can be designed by administrators on demand.
* Enhanced LDAP integration for creating rule sets and policies; management interface access; end-user platform access; and disclaimers.
* Enhanced phishing catch-rate using unique technology that pre-checks URLs in all e-mails to ensure no unsafe links are delivered.
* Ability to create policies based on specific business requirements and rules. This includes the ability to link multiple conditions to single rules, individual black / white listing; global white listing; and the ability to customise notifications per group.
* Advanced suspected spam settings.
* Advanced virus settings.
* Mail redirecting, including the ability to redirect individual e-mail addresses and redirect e-mails based on AD groups.
* E-mail archiving for business continuity and disaster recovery with innovative MailVault solution.

"The upfront and annual costs of owning and managing an on-premise e-mail security and content management solution can be prohibitive for a lot of companies. As a cloud-based, fully-hosted solution, ePurifier eliminates that, but companies don't have to compromise on quality, robustness or functionality.

"It's no longer just about processing e-mail in the cloud. With Version 5, companies can have full control of the flow of e-mail in the cloud, yet it feels like the system is a part of the network," concludes Morris.
