Sunnyvale, Calif. and Seoul, Korea–April 25, 2007 – LG N-Sys and Commtouch® (NASDAQ: CTCH) today announced that Commtouch anti-spam technology is now integrated within LG N-Sys Unified Threat Management platform. The Commtouch-enhanced UTM will be offered to customers across APAC as part of the LG N-Sys “Try & Buy” promotion.
LG N-Sys is a leading Korean provider of security appliances, including Intrusion Prevention and UTM products. Integrating the Commtouch solution into LG’s complete IT security product adds best-of-breed spam protection.
“We searched for the very best anti-spam to protect our customers,” said Byungsun Chung, director of Strategic Business Division of LG N-Sys. “Thorough testing showed that Commtouch technology consistently blocked 99% of spam. This is an excellent result, especially considering the challenge posed by spam in Asian languages. It is clear that Commtouch is at the leading edge of email defense solutions, and we are excited to investigate more of their offerings. ”
“We are proud to partner with such an important IT player in Asia. LG N-Sys is taking a huge stride by offering real-time spam protection to its customers across the region,” said Ronni Zehavi, Commtouch’s vice president of international business development. “Commtouch’s anti-spam is truly global, not language or content dependent. This will give LG N-Sys an important advantage in Asian markets, where much of the spam appears in regional languages.”
Commtouch Anti-Spam solution protects against all types of spam -- in any location, format, content, or language -- and consistently delivers top detection rates and very low false positives. Real-time blocking is effective against all types of spam; including image-based and double-byte languages common in Asia.
