Innovative VIPRE
Anti-malware Technology Is Core of New Email Protection Suite
Clearwater, FL — Aug 27, 2008 — Dakota Software, an email
software security company, has announced that they have entered
into an OEM technology licensing agreement with Sunbelt
Software, a leading provider of Windows security software, to
integrate
Sunbelt's VIPRE™ Antivirus + Antispyware technology into
Dakota's new DakMail suite of email blocking and monitoring
software. The software suite protects enterprises and consumer
PCs from complex email-borne computer viruses, spyware and
malware, and eliminates the risk of emerging malicious threats
to email.
Under the terms of the agreement, Dakota Software will license
the VIPRE antivirus and antispyware technology and will private
label, market and sell a suite of
email security
technology and services for spam elimination, virus protection,
and spyware detection beginning September 1, 2008 in North
America.
"Email is the main fabric of communications in any corporation
and it is incessantly under attack," said Chad Loeven, vice
president, business development of Sunbelt Software. "As a
leading security technology provider, Sunbelt sought to extend
our technology to help enterprises protect their email
infrastructure. From message monitoring to email management,
Dakota combined with Sunbelt's
virus and malware protection is a lightweight solution that
scales globally with no additional resources required. These
Sunbelt-powered security solutions provide enterprises with a
reliable and accurate services-oriented approach to fight spam
and email-propagated viruses."
Dakota Software's DakMail Monitor and DakMail Security software
suites integrate Sunbelt Software's VIPRE Antivirus +
Antispyware for strong antivirus, antispyware, anti-rootkit and
advanced security algorithms to deliver the most powerful
protection against today's highly complex malware threats. By
detecting and remediating viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, and
other malware before they ever reach the network, the product
provides a safer approach to data protection. Unlike traditional
anti-spam or anti-malware technologies,
VIPRE does not require additional resources to operate and
does not have any latency affecting performance. DakMail
software suites plug directly into Microsoft IIS SMTP servers to
filter all data, working in cooperation with other SMTP filters
without any of the bulk. Dakota's solutions do not require
client software be deployed on all desktops nor does it require
a Microsoft Exchange server. Instead it relies on the junk
filter options pre-built into Microsoft Outlook for rules
definition.
"At Dakota Software, we have the experience in providing
easy-to-implement private-label email security services to the
world's largest technology providers," said Brian Wurzbacher
president of Dakota Software. "Our relationship with Sunbelt
extends our technology's global reach and distribution channel
for email protection, while simultaneously allowing Sunbelt to
go to market rapidly with industry-leading
antispyware and anti-malware offerings."
