Worldtalk Corporation has announced version 3.0 of its e-mail firewall and policy manager software, WorldSecure Server. WorldSecure Server is a comprehensive e-mail security solution that incorporates several countermeasures including content control, encryption, archival and virus checking into one integrated solution.The new release of WorldSecure Server features intelligent content filtering, authenticated remote policy management and enhanced message archival capability. WorldSecure Server 3.0 provides IS administrators, compliance and risk management officers with an e-mail security and management solution that allows them to secure all Internet e-mail communication with clients and business partners and comply with key government regulations."The new features in WorldSecure Server were developed to meet the requirements of customers across a broad number of industries," says Dave Terespolsky, MD of South African Worldtalk distributor Server Tools. "Combined with existing countermeasures such as encryption, digital signature, and virus protection, these new features provide customers with enhanced functionality, improved performance and tighter control over the security of their e-mail networks. These features help WorldSecure Server meet the increasing demand for policy enforcement products in key industry segments, such as financial, legal and healthcare."This latest version of WorldSecure Server is among the first application of its kind to offer intelligent content filtering technology. Leveraging this technology, WorldSecure Server executes granular content filtering to distinguish the context in which words or phrases are being used. For example, Terespolsky says, it can identify the use of the word "hot stock tip" in the context of "next Intel" or "guaranteed return".Customers in investment banking and insurance industries will now have tighter control over internal documents, and end-users` e-mail leaving their organisation. WorldSecure Server also protects against unsolicited Internet mail that has proven to be harmful to e-mail networks, such as SPAM and mail bomb attacks and can easily be administered as a SPAM prevention tool.In addition, WorldSecure Server 3.0 offers authenticated remote management to allow IS administrators to manage multiple server sites from one location. Administrators can perform all WorldSecure Server functions, from checking quarantined e-mail to setting up new security policies from any location. Remote management is of great benefit to customers in large organisations where IS administrators are required to quarantine messages for risk management or compliance Officers in remote locations.WorldSecure Server 3.0 also offers improved e-mail archival functionality enabling businesses across a number of industries to keep an organised audit trail of all e-mail messages for a designated number of years. This is an important feature for customers in the insurance industry that are required to keep detailed records of all communication between themselves and their re-insurers."WorldSecure Server has established early market success in industries that require organisations to comply with specific regulations regarding electronic communications," says Terespolsky. "Such regulations, especially in investment banking, insurance and healthcare industries, combined with the growing need for organisations to enforce corporate-wide e-mail security are driving the demand for WorldSecure Server."
