Secure Computing Readies Customers for Spam Surge With 99 Percent Guarantee
09 September 2008 - 11:00PM
Marketwired
Secure Computing Corporation (NASDAQ: SCUR), a leading enterprise
gateway security company, today announced the industry's leading
spam detection guarantee, designed to provide US-based customers
with the most comprehensive protection during the year's highest
spamming season. Backed by a 99 percent Spam Detection Accuracy
Guarantee, Secure Mail will provide customers with the spam
protection they need as they enter the well-documented and
historically proven fall spam surge.
Last fall, Secure Computing Research found that spam volume
increased 90 percent, to more than 120 billion spam messages daily.
That's about 20 spam messages per day for every person on the
planet. Secure Computing measurements have shown that enterprise
users get anywhere from 100 to 1,000 spam messages per day during
this time of the year and that spam has become less focused on
selling product, and more focused on growing spam networks. With
the pending spam surge on the horizon, Secure Computing has stepped
up to the plate with the Spam Detection Guarantee, providing
customers with peace of mind and best-of-breed protection.
With this guarantee, customer spam detection accuracy will
remain at 99 percent or better and customers will benefit from a
clean inbox where all of the bad mail is blocked, and all of the
good mail is delivered. In the unlikely case that spam detection
accuracy remains below the 99 percent mark after a
customer-requested accuracy analysis, Secure Computing will give
customers one month of free service.
"Secure Mail is highly effective in stopping spam and allowing
legitimate mail to get through," said Brian Segal, network analyst
for Erie Insurance Group. "We are excited, but not surprised that
Secure Computing can guarantee these levels of detection. The
guarantee demonstrates that Secure is committed to staying one step
ahead of the spammers. This is great for our users and our
organization."
"Secure Mail is recognized as a leading solution in providing
both inbound and outbound mail security," said Sara Radicati,
President and CEO, The Radicati Group. "This 99 percent guarantee
is a significant offering from a market leader, and is important
for customers by allowing them to stay one step ahead of spammers
and deal effectively with potential new threats."
Secure Computing's Secure Mail (formerly known as IronMail�) is
one of the most full-featured appliance solutions on the market,
providing organizations with total email protection, eliminating
over 99 percent of spam while protecting against zero-hour blended
threats, and providing robust spam surge and Denial-of-Service
(DOS) protection. Secure Mail protects outbound email from data
leaks with robust policy and compliance enforcement, including
flexible encryption options. Secure Mail empowers administrators
with easy-to-use, yet highly configurable policy creation,
management and reporting so administrators can cost-effectively
deliver email protection to meet business and compliance needs.
"Email is mission-critical in today's business world, and no
company can afford to have the wrong email security solution in
place. With spam volumes surging, customers simply can't accept the
90-95 percent detection rates that they did in the past. Secure
Mail ensures that our customer networks are safe from email-borne
threats," said Atri Chatterjee, senior vice president of marketing
for Secure Computing. "With this industry-leading guarantee, we are
putting our reputation and resources behind our performance,
assuring customers that spam detection accuracy will remain at 99
percent or better."
