E-mail protection

Loophold Security Distribution has announced that Barracuda Networks’ flagship Spam & Virus Firewall line, of both hardware and virtual appliances, now includes its award-winning anti-virus capabilities for Microsoft Exchange servers at no additional charge. The latest firmware release 5.1 stops viruses and malware from circulating through internal e-mails, adding an additional layer of protection and cost savings to businesses.

Customers with the latest firmware release benefit from:

* Extended anti-virus protection: Adding to the capabilities of the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall to detect and block e-mail-borne viruses for inbound messages and outbound messages, the new Microsoft Exchange agent extends protection to those messages that do not leave the organisation, thus stopping the propagation of rapidly evolving threats.

* Simple installation and management: Administrators can add this extended anti-virus protection with the simple installation of an agent on Microsoft Exchange servers. This new functionality is centrally managed through the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall.

* No additional costs: With no additional fees or per-user costs for this new protection layer, customers can confidently reduce the total cost of ownership of their e-mail security infrastructure by eliminating other third-party anti-virus solutions.

Says Martin Tassev, MD at Loophold Security Distribution: “This additional protection and functionality will provide our resellers and their customers with a proven security solution that is purpose build for Microsoft Exchange. Furthermore, it is easy and fast to install and significantly improves the scanning performance of mailboxes whilst ensuring there is no unnecessary load on a server.”

Customisable notification

In addition to the extended anti-virus capabilities, the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall now allows administrators to customise the notifications sent to recipients of encrypted e-mails. Notification e-mails can be customised in any language, and the Barracuda Message Centre – where recipients login and read encrypted e-mails sent to them – can be branded with the sending organisation’s logo. This provides an additional layer of credibility for senders and confidence for recipients that the e-mails are legitimate. Outbound e-mail encryption offered through the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall is available to all customers with no per-user charge.
