"The pervasiveness of spam has become a major point of pain for the enterprise, resulting in lost revenue and employee productivity," said Brian Burke, research manager at IDC. "Nokia Message Protector is a compelling email security solution, combining Postini's robust spam prevention engine, Threat Identification Network service, and Nokia's unique multi-layered secure content management appliance."
Nokia Message Protector is the first appliance to capitalize on two leading-edge Postini technologies:
- Postini Anti-Spam Engine (PASE) is a proven software platform that uses thousands of Postini-developed heuristic expressions to recognize, filter and combat unwanted email.
- Postini Threat Identification Network (PTIN) leverages a database of more than 1600 enterprises and 120 million daily email messages to identify and block IP addresses engaged in malicious and threatening email behavior - spam, viruses, Directory Harvest Attacks, and Denial of Service attacks. The database is updated every 60 seconds allowing Nokia Message Protector to accurately eliminate spam without re-routing enterprise email traffic to an external service. All processing is done inside the firewall.
"We evaluated many companies in our search for an anti-spam partner," said Dan MacDonald, vice president of marketing, Nokia. "Postini's proven innovation and market leadership in anti-spam technology and services made them the obvious choice. Postini's spam prevention technology complements Nokia Message Protector's extensible plug-in architecture, Nokia Statistical Protectionä and secure automatic updating core features."
"Nokia's leadership in the appliance market, and commitment to enterprise security make them the perfect partner for Postini," said Shinya Akamine, CEO and President of Postini. "The Nokia Message Protector secure content management appliance is a differentiated and compelling product that is core to any enterprise looking to secure their email infrastructure."
