Vigilar partners with ciphertrust to offer comprehensive, e-mail-specific security solutions - Applications

Information Superhighways Newsletter, Dec, 2001

Process driven information security and risk management solution provider Vigilar announced today new programs for protecting e-mail systems, based on CipherTrust's IronMail product. Vigilar will resell, deploy, support, and manage CipherTrust. products, as well as provide training. The two companies will also participate in joint sales and marketing initiatives.

"Network-level protection alone will not prevent the next generation of attacks, such as the Goner or Nimda worms, or surreptitious Trojan horse attacks," said Palaniswamy "Raj" Rajan, CEO of Vigilar. "As a leader in security, Vigilar must protect our clients from all threats, including those directed toward vulnerable applications such as e-mail. IronMail's comprehensive protection for email systems ensures that Vigilar clients will continue to have the highest level of security possible."

IronMail is the industry's first security appliance for e-mail systems, combining five components of protection in one appliance. IronMail's Mail-Firewall augments the network firewall by protecting the e-mail server from attacks. IronMail's Mail-IDS, the first intrusion detection system for e-mail, can notify security managers of impending threats including password cracks and system file modifications. IronMail anti-virus provides gateway-based defense against viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. IronMail also allows corporations to define, monitor, and enforce corporate e-mail policy, and supports server-based SSL/TLS encryption.

"Security leaders need to anticipate threats and respond to them before they strike," said Steve Raber, president and COO of CipherTrust. "Leveraging Vigilar's comprehensive training, implementation, support, and services, as well as their experienced security professionals, will help CipherTrust continue to grow the market for IronMail."

Training, implementation and support for the CipherTrust solution is currently available. For more information contact Vigilar at: info@vigilar.com or (866) 365-8401.
