Red Condor Releases Version 6.0 of Email Security Software

Feb. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- Rohnert Park, Calif. – Red Condor, the award-winning provider of fully managed email security solutions, today released version 6.0 of its email security software, which powers the company’s family of network appliances and hosted service. The major software update provides system administrators with greater configuration control of security and advanced discovery features, and gives Red Condor’s hosted service customers the option to filter outbound messages. Red Condor’s anti-spam appliances and hosted service are trusted by a growing number of Internet Service Providers, Independent Operating Companies, small to medium-sized businesses, local municipalities, and educational institutions, to eliminate spam and protect against all types of email threats.

“Our solutions remove the complexities of email security, while providing the most accurate spam filtering and the lowest false-positive rates on the market,” stated Thomas Steding, president and CEO of Red Condor. “Many of the enhancements in version 6.0 are a direct result of proactive interaction with our customers, who have a tremendous impact on the features and functionality of our solutions. Our willingness to listen to customers’ needs and the ability to quickly and effectively adjust to new threats, combined with our technology’s unbeatable accuracy, is why we continue to displace competitors, earn our customers’ trust and gain market share. ”

New features of Red Condor’s version 6.0 software update include the following:
•   For Hosted Service customers, Red Condor now offers the option to filter all outbound email messages to block outbound spam, phishing and virus attacks and provides administrators with the ability to monitor and control the number of messages sent per hour per sender, protecting corporate reputation.
•   Administrators can now configure advanced discovery and authentication through the online Admin Dashboard.
•   New Admin Dashboard features allow administrators to private-label Red Condor’s web-based customer interface to strengthen branding efforts and have more control over the Personal Dashboard interface.
•   For all Red Condor appliance customers, historical and current traffic for the appliance cluster is now displayed on the Admin dashboard home page. Vx Technology™ historical traffic for Vx licensed appliances is also displayed on the dashboard.
“The ability to filter outbound email is one more reason why our hosted service is an ideal anti-spam solution for small and medium-sized businesses,” added Steding. “As our customers have learned, and our performance continues to prove, not all spam filters are alike, which is why we recently won the 2009 Technology of the Year award from InfoWorld. Simply stated, Red Condor provides a better way to secure email and protect against spam and provides a cost advantage over our competitors.”

Red Condor’s comprehensive defense strategy against spam, viruses and other email threats requires messages to pass through consecutive layers of SMTP session level defenses, content analysis, virus detection, sender profiling, and other filtering before reaching the recipient’s email inbox. The Red Condor suite of proprietary and patent-pending technology for its Hosted Service and MAG-series network appliances includes Email DNA and behavioral analysis, sender reputation scoring, advanced imaging filtering and the company’s fault-tolerant Vx Technology, the industry’s first email security that integrates a local network appliance with a hosted service and data center backup for true messaging assurance.
