Sunnyvale, Calif. and Taipei, Taiwan – May 29, 2007 – Openfind and Commtouch® (NASDAQ: CTCH) today announced that Commtouch Anti-Spam and Zero-Hour™ Virus Outbreak Protection technology will be integrated into version 2.8 of the MailGates Mail Protection System.
“We chose Commtouch because RPD™ technology is language-agnostic and therefore improves detection rates for all types of global spam, no matter what the language or character set,” explains Openfind executive vice president, Ivan Liao. “Integration of the Commtouch solution will help Openfind protect against spam and email-borne malware and continue to meet the expectations of our enterprise customers locally and in international markets.”
“Commtouch is proud to work with Openfind to bring its complete suite of easy-to-integrate email server solutions to thousands of enterprises across Asia,” said Ronni Zehavi, Commtouch’s vice president of international business development. “In addition to strong technical ability, Openfind has a mature product line with an established customer base and the ability to penetrate into new markets.”
Taiwan-based Openfind provides search and messaging solutions to enterprises across Asia and was recently selected for a large government IT procurement project in Taiwan. The Commtouch anti-spam technology will fortify MailGates’ Bayesian filter-based Chinese-language spam defense, with the goal of catching all types of spam outbreaks in real time. The Commtouch Zero-Hour technology, already adopted by leading global technology vendors, will give MailGates the ability to detect and block email-borne viruses in the first moments of an outbreak, thereby protecting enterprise IT systems from damage caused by malware in the zero-hour, before signature updates are made available by traditional anti-virus vendors.
