BorderWare Launches Security Platform 8.0

BorderWare Technologies Inc., in platform-based email and Web threat protection, secure content and data loss prevention, introduced BorderWare Security Platform 8.0, the industry’s first security appliance to provide comprehensive email and Web security with anti-data leakage in a single, consolidated and correlated product and administrative interface.

With a single, all-inclusive email and Web appliance for security and privacy of inbound and outbound communication traffic, BorderWare has pioneered a unified platform solution that reduces cost, footprint and administrative hassles.

Featuring data loss prevention (DLP) across multiple protocols, the new BorderWare Security Platform 8.0 is specifically designed to prevent threats via a flexible and efficient approach for quickly integrating new and customer-selected security and privacy features, accommodating unlimited customer growth, and consolidating administration, reporting and policy management.

“With the blurring of email and Web risks and blended threats, BorderWare is uniquely positioned on the front lines of solving security and messaging silos that challenge administrators, budgets and security professionals in almost every organization in the world,” said Tim Leisman, CEO of BorderWare. “Our patented and original approach to consolidating, correlating and analyzing threats, content and behavior across both email and Web is now available in a single, unified platform that adjusts to customers’ needs and priorities.”

Mid-Market Flexibility
“Security breaches no longer appear in just one communication channel, but as sophisticated, blended threats across email and Web. Midmarket organizations are looking not only for DLP but also for proficient management capabilities,” said Brian Burke, program director for IDC’s security products program. “Email and Web protection as standalone solutions are becoming less effective and expensive security measures. Already a leader in securing content, BorderWare is well-positioned to address the changing security threats in inbound and outbound communication with this feature-rich, cost-effective platform.”

Unification of Technology and Market Requirements
Bringing together email, Web and data leakage security gateways into one solution with maximum flexibility and control, the BorderWare Security Platform 8.0 is the first and only true platform for that unifies policy management, reporting and administration in a single, secured console.

BorderWare Security Platform content security enables instant-on data loss prevention, encryption and content filtering with integrated threat prevention for viruses, spam, spyware, phishing, crimeware and malware attacks – all in a secured appliance. In keeping with previous releases, the BorderWare Security Platform 8.0 continues to include other features that customers can elect to turn on, such as email encryption or Web caching.

The management console is a best-in-class administration and control center that consolidates all email and Web features in a single interface, providing security operations of reporting, policy management, policy remediation, on-demand feature enablement and clustering. Not only is the BorderWare Security Platform displayed in a secure administrative Web interface, but it can also be managed both remotely and locally.

“The significance of this product release can’t be overstated,” said Shawn Eldridge, Vice President of Marketing and Products for BorderWare. “Until now, organizations globally were forced to purchase, deploy and manage disparate point products that exposed security gaps and increased complexity and operational costs. With BorderWare Security Platform 8.0, organizations can infinitely scale to correlate security across email and Web, consolidate administration and policy management, leverage data loss prevention across email and Web, and enable value-added features and functionalities based on each customer’s security and privacy needs and goals.”
