McLEAN, Virginia, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Commtouch® (NASDAQ: CTCH), a leading provider of
Internet security technology and cloud-based services, today
announced that NetCologne Gesellschaft für Telekommunikation mbH,
one of the leading regional Internet and telecommunication service
providers in Germany, is now
protecting its email inboxes against spam, malware and phishing
using the Commtouch On-Premise Email Security solution. It
incorporates the award-winning eXpurgate technology, developed by
German email security provider Eleven, which was acquired by
Commtouch in 2012.

NetCologne has integrated On-Premise Email Security into its
existing email infrastructure. The solution combines consistently
reliable spam detection with a particularly low false positive
rate, which effectively excludes the false categorization of
important, individual emails to the greatest extent possible. The
solution also allows NetCologne to reject spam, phishing and
malware email during the transmission process. This increases
customer protection against undesirable, dangerous emails and
reduces the load on in-house email infrastructure.
On-Premise Email Security, including the eXpurgate technology,
was developed with a focus on the needs and requirements of
Internet service providers and carriers and combines high spam and
malware detection and low false positive rates with unlimited
scalability. It is deployed by the majority of Germany's Internet service providers, among
them Deutsche Telekom/T-Online, 1&1, O2, Kabel Deutschland and
freenet. Major North American
service providers, including Cox and Hostway, are also using spam
protection from Commtouch.
NetCologne has more than 800 employees and operates more than
550,000 email inboxes for its customers. As a regional Internet
service provider, the company supplies a large area in the west of
Germany with future-proof
communication technology, and offers innovative Web mail solutions
to private and business customers.
"The eXpurgate technology delivers NetCologne a solution that
completely meets our requirements in all important points," said
Thomas Henritzi, head of network engineering and design at
NetCologne. "This applies to the features of the spam and malware
detection applications as well as for the option of rejecting
emails during the transmission process and the scalability of the
solution - which is a key aspect from the point of view of an
Internet service provider. Email Security On-Premise allows us to
provide our customers with improved protection from spam and
malware and helps us enhance customer satisfaction."
"With NetCologne, we have successfully acquired one of the
largest, most important regional telecommunication and Internet
providers in Germany," said
Robert Rothe, Commtouch CTO and
Eleven founder. "We developed our solution to meet the particularly
rigorous requirements of ISPs and carriers. NetCologne's decision
to deploy our solution is renewed confirmation for our strategy of
optimizing our solutions for this sophisticated market in
particular."
