Webroot Releases Its E-Mail Security Service
Webroot, a company that made its fortune in the client-side spyware detection market, announced its entry into the software-as-a-service (SaaS) market with Webroot E-Mail Security SaaS, an e-mail security service for consumers and SMBs.
A result of Webroot’s November 2007 merger with Email Systems, a UK-based SaaS (Software as a Service) security provider, the company claims the new Webroot e-mail security service delivers better protection, lower total cost of ownership and better value than other perimeter security appliances and software.
Webroot E-mail Security SaaS features the anti-spam and anti-phishing that Webroot is known for, plus antivirus detection courtesy of its partner Sophos. The security system also provides a Managed Encryption Service for encrypting data on a peer-to-peer basis. Webroot also offers desk-to-desk e-mail encryption via public and private keys for an added layer of security.
“With better manageability, better protection and overall better value, our SMB customers can now focus on their mission-critical projects while we provide them with enterprise-class security 24x7x365,” said Mike Irwin, COO, Webroot.
The service also includes image filtering to determine if incoming attached images are legitimate or on a list of blacklisted images, and it offers archiving of e-mails in multiple datacenters for regulatory archival purposes.
Webroot claims it can offer protection against 98 percent of e-mail spam and 100 percent of known viruses. It also provides content filtering and data archiving capabilities, and guarantees 99.999 percent service availability.
Webroot Email Security SaaS is currently available for purchase straight from the company.
