Market With New Enterprise Phishing and Malware Protection
and New Security Appliance Relationship
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA CONFERENCE 2005 -- SurfControl,
the world leader in enterprise Web and e-mail filtering, will be on hand at
RSA Conference 2005 at Moscone Center, February 14-15, 2005, to demonstrate
how the company is driving significant change to the Internet filtering
market. SurfControl will announce enhanced enterprise-class phishing
protection for the SurfControl Web, E-Mail and Mobile Filters. The company
will also announce it has teamed with Celestix Networks, Inc. and Microsoft to
bring complete Internet protection to businesses on the Celestix MSA
integrated security appliance. This solution featuring Microsoft Internet
Security and Acceleration Server (ISA) 2004 and SurfControl Web Filter, will
be on display at the Microsoft Partner Pavilion.
As an illustration of the rate at which malware and other dangerous
content is growing on the Internet, the SurfControl Content Database -- the
heart of the company's Internet filtering solutions -- surpassed nine million
total URLs -- up from eight million only three months ago. The SurfControl
Content Database includes 45 URL categories in 70 languages. More than 33
percent of the content tracked and filtered by SurfControl is international.
"Companies have long known that in order to protect themselves from
Internet threats, they must protect their Web and their e-mail systems," said
Steve Purdham, chief executive officer of SurfControl. "What most companies
today fail to realize however is that those defense systems must work in
unison to be truly effective. SurfControl is redefining Web and e-mail
filtering through a unified solution that ensures customers receive the
strongest and most consistent protection across their enterprise."
Businesses wrestle to come to terms with attacks with which they are
already familiar, such as traditional e-mail spam, illicit Web sites, spyware
and phishing, new variations of existing attacks are already appearing. In
just the last few months "spear phishing" and "pharming," have emerged.
SurfControl's Internet Threat Defense system provides customers with the most
comprehensive protection against known, unknown, targeted and even internal
Internet threats. This layered approach bolsters existing protection versus
malware and creates a more flexible defense.
