"Aside from our core Web hosting business, email is our most
mission critical service. To ensure our email customers receive the
highest quality of service, with zero downtime, we implement
multiple layers of redundancy and a dedicated infrastructure,
physically separate from our hosting offerings," stated
Heiko Heerwagen, CEO of internet24.
"We needed a reliable, commercial security vendor and Commtouch was
a good match, with the added advantage of a complete email security
suite from one supplier. The solution easily integrated into our
existing infrastructure and has reduced the resource usage of our
email offering, while improving protection for our customers."
To reduce overhead and operational complexity, internet24
replaced its multi-vendor email security environment with
Commtouch's consolidated Email Security Suite. The new security
service, which was selected after evaluating various commercial and
open source solutions, has reduced internet24's resource
utilization by 80% and provided improved spam and virus detection
for its users. internet24 has also implemented Commtouch's Outbound
Spam Protection solution (OSP), which reduces IP blacklisting and
disruptions to user services.
Commtouch's consolidated Email Security Suite includes:
- Anti-Spam and IP Reputation services – based on Commtouch's
patented Recurrent Pattern Detection™ (RPD™) technology
- Antivirus for Email – Commtouch's unique dual cloud and engine
based solution for early detection of zero-hour malware-based
threats.
- Outbound Spam Protection – blocking and identifying the sources
of 99% of outgoing spam, with nearly zero false positives.
"Managing multiple security solutions from different vendors
adds unnecessary operational overhead for hosting providers,"
stated Ofer Tal, vice president of
international sales and business development at Commtouch.
"Commtouch's consolidated, cloud-based email security suite
significantly simplifies internet24's implementation of
comprehensive email security services for its customers."
The new Commtouch security services are available to all
internet24 email customers as part of their core email
services.
