BorderWare integrates communication security

E-mail, IM and Web protection offered in one box
By Cara Garretson , Network World , 05/14/2007

BorderWare on Monday announced an integrated security product that provides protection from e-mail, instant messaging and Web threats in a single appliance.

Called the BorderWare Security Platform, the integrated product eases the administration and lowers the cost of ownership associated with point products that secure only one aspect of Internet-based communication, according to company officials.

BorderWare Security Platform includes the vendor’s existing e-mail security appliance (formerly known as MXtreme but renamed the BorderWare E-mail Security Gateway), along with the new Web Security Gateway and IM Security Gateway. The integrated appliance lets IT managers create and maintain one set of policies to deploy across e-mail, Web and IM communications, according to BorderWare.

Features of the platform include virus, spam, malware, spyware and phishing protection across e-mail, IM and Web traffic; up-to-date threat information via integration with BorderWare Security Network, a real-time service that monitors threats across multiple Internet protocols; outbound content control to ensure sensitive information does not leave an organization without authorization; and on-demand scalability by clustering appliances on a network.

Although the BorderWare Security Platform was designed as an integrated product, customers can purchase only the modules they need now and add more modules as need dictates. Customers can purchase individually the e-mail, IM or Web gateway.

BorderWare Security Platform is priced starting at $3,780. Sold individually, the E-mail Security Gateway starts at $2,520; the IM Security Gateway starts at $1,765; and the Web Security Gateway starts at $1,765.

BorderWare plans to demonstrate the BorderWare Security Platform at its booth during Interop Las Vegas next week.
