by Alina Popescu - Gecad Technologies SA in Servers
Sunnyvale, CA and Bucharest, Romania September 24, 2008 – AXIGEN (http://www.axigen.com), a leading messaging solution provided by Gecad Technologies, and Commtouch® (NASDAQ: CTCH, http://www.commtouch.com), a provider of email and web security technology, today announced the signing of a licensing agreement aimed at launching an integrated product combining AXIGEN Mail Server’s carrier class messaging with Commtouch’s advanced email defense features.
The new bundled AXIGEN-Commtouch product will integrate the Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD™) technology into the AXIGEN Mail Server. Recognized as achieving superior detection/accuracy performance, RPD is focused on the most fundamental characteristic of spam and email-borne malware and phishing, namely their mass distribution over the Internet.
The Commtouch SDK embedded in AXIGEN’s messaging solutions will work through a real-time connection to Commtouch's Global Detection Centers which analyze large volumes of Internet traffic and identify new spam, virus and phishing outbreaks based on mass distribution patterns. As a result, emerging outbreaks are identified moments after they are introduced into the Internet.
“With spam, malware and phishing messages reaching peaks of over 90% of email transmitted on the Internet and a growing concern for Telcos and Service Providers, we are pleased to provide email security solutions to AXIGEN’s carrier and enterprise customer base,” said Ido Hadari, Commtouch’s vice president of international sales and business development.
“Given our strong IT security background, we recognize Commtouch as a leading provider of cutting-edge technology and powerful email and security solutions. We are confident that the new AXIGEN-Commtouch solution will bring a significantly increased level of protection to our customers’ email communication,” concluded Oana Bornaz, AXIGEN CEO.
The new bundled AXIGEN-Commtouch product will be available within the AXIGEN Mail Server Enterprise and Service Provider product edition range and will run on the most popular Linux and BSD platforms, for Solaris and for Windows operating systems.
Winner of the ServerWatch 2007 Product Excellence Award for the Communications Server category, the AXIGEN Mail Server features a carrier class technology and outstanding support Now at version 6.1, AXIGEN is becoming the messaging solution of choice for a growing number of service providers and enterprises worldwide.
