Providers
MCLEAN, Virginia, January 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Commtouch® (NASDAQ: CTCH), a leading provider of
Internet security technology and cloud-based security services,
today announced the general availability of Commtouch On-Premise
Email Security services for the service provider market. The launch
marks the first new product delivered under the Commtouch strategy
to provide OEM vendor and service provider partners the
technologies and services they need to deliver cloud-based email
Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS).

On-Premise Email Security augments the existing market-leading
messaging security suite that includes: Commtouch Anti-spam, Virus
Outbreak Detection, IP Reputation, and AV, which are cloud-assisted
services for service provider environments. The new services
deliver additional simplified messaging security and optimization
functionality, enabling Commtouch to better address the
requirements of any service provider that offers email services to
end users.
With the new solution, Commtouch partners can more effectively
address the twin challenges of improving email Quality of Service
(QoS) for customers while reversing the ever-rising cost of service
delivery. Because the new services include technology, process, and
people, efficiency can be achieved even when partners lack internal
resources to manage email security efforts, or they have a complex
email infrastructure requiring a customized solution.
The new solution leverages email security technology assets
which Commtouch acquired as part of its purchase of Eleven GmbH.
The Eleven products are already in use at global organizations such
as BMW, SAP, Siemens and Deutsche Telekom / T-Online.
"Our launch of Commtouch On-Premise Email Security for security
providers further expands our worldwide opportunity for growth,"
said Shlomi Yanai, CEO of Commtouch.
"This new service continues the transformation of Commtouch from a
vendor of security technology components and cloud-assisted
detection services, to a Security-as-a-Service supplier that can
provide partners with options to greatly lower cost, simplify
ownership, and maximize performance for email. Commtouch On-Premise
Email Security offers market-proven benefits for service providers
desiring the highest level of email security without the
ever-increasing expense typically associated with achieving
it."
