Technologies

released a virtualized version of the WatchGuard Quarantine

Management Server. Used in conjunction with WatchGuard XCS content

security appliances, the WatchGuard QMS virtual edition is an

automated, intelligent and easy to use e-mail quarantine solution

that allows electronic messages, that contain unwanted content, such

as spam, phishing attempts, viruses, malware or other messages to be

directed and stored on a dedicated virtual quarantine appliance. By

having a secure holding area for suspect messages, administrators

gain greater management and control over corporate e-mail, as well as

an additional defense-in-depth layer of protection against e-mail

vectored threats.

“E-mail continues to be

a significant threat vector for most businesses around the world, and

management of quarantined messages is critical to balancing security

with productivity,” said Mohit Puri, Country Manager, India and

SAARC, WatchGuard Technologies. “By using the WatchGuard QMS

Virtual Edition, customers can control their quarantined e-mail while

further improving their network, data and application protection.

Because the WatchGuard QMS virtual edition is free, total cost of

ownership is dramatically improved,” added Puri.



Some of the highlights of

the WatchGuard QMS virtual edition:

  • Capable of supporting

    both single and multiple domains for both internal and hosted

    deployment models, the WatchGuard QMS Virtual Edition is an ideal

    solution for mid-sized organizations, enterprises and service

    providers.

  • Built for scalability,

    it supports e-mail quarantine requirements for organizations with up to

    180,000 users or 20 million messages.

  • By offloading spam

    quarantine resources to a separate system, the WatchGuard QMS Virtual

    Edition reduces load and storage requirements on their WatchGuard XCS

    content security or other e-mail security gateways, which results in

    stronger throughput, reduced administration and streamlined reporting.

  • With it, organizations

    can ensure that end-users do not lose legitimate messages, while

    keeping storage, processing and bandwidth requirements to a minimum.

  • With the WatchGuard QMS

    virtual edition, individuals can review, delete and manage spam while

    keeping such undesirable messages out of the network.
