GWAVA Enhances its Mail Security Solution with Commtouch Anti-Spam Technology

Commtouch^® (Nasdaq:CTCH) and GWAVA today announced that GWAVA has added Commtouch Anti-Spam to its GWAVA 5 Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and Content Control solution for Microsoft Exchange.

“The threat of cyber-crime and sophisticated spam attacks has increased the need for dynamic, real-time protection,” said Richard Bliss, senior vice president, GWAVA, Inc. “Working with Commtouch enables us to focus on other areas of our business, knowing that messaging security is fully taken care of through its superior technology.”

Commtouch’s Anti-Spam technology is integrated within GWAVA 5, which is delivered as software, a soft appliance and a hosted solution by GWAVA’s channel partners. GWAVA 5 is being used across the globe at organizations running corporate enterprise collaboration systems like Microsoft Exchange.

“We are highly satisfied with GWAVA and have been using it to protect our customers since 2004,” said Jim Grant, president of JBK Network Consulting, a channel partner of GWAVA. “With Commtouch’s Anti-Spam, hardly any spam reaches our customers’ inboxes, and none of their legitimate mail ever gets marked as spam, which saves us the headache of searching through the quarantine for important messages.”

The Commtouch Anti-Spam solution integrates Commtouch's patented Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) technology, which protects against spam outbreaks in real-time as messages are mass-distributed over the Internet. Rather than evaluating the content of messages, the Commtouch GlobalView™ Network analyzes billions of emails in real-time, recognizing and protecting against new spam outbreaks the moment they emerge.

GWAVA 5 was launched in January 2011. GWAVA, the number one security provider for protecting Novell GroupWise mail servers, has been using Commtouch’s technology since 2008.

“GWAVA GroupWise customers have already experienced the effectiveness of Commtouch’s technology,” said Francois Depayras, Commtouch’s vice president, Americas sales and business development. “GWAVA’s addition of our technology to its Exchange solution ensures that those customers get the same highly effective solution.”
