Doctor Web, Ltd., a Russian developer of IT-security solutions under the brand-name of Dr.Web, announces the release of a new product for complex protection of e-mail traffic from viruses and spam for servers operated by UNIX-based systems (Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris(x86).

E-mail still remains the most efficient transportation means to deliver malicious codes to users’ computers. Opening or reading such messages may result in serious consequences – lost of vital information, theft of funds from a credit card, corruption of a hard drive, or leakage of company’s confidential information. Not to mention lost of productivity and working time daily wasted by employees on cleaning the mail boxes from spam — a real scourge of modern offices.

The growth rate, quantity, quality, and complexity of Internet threats hiding in e-mail traffic present high requirements to av-program developers, make them constantly develop and improve spam-fighting technologies, as do the spammers inventing new counteraction techniques against spam detection and new masquerading tricks.

As things go, protection programs installed on corporate servers and ISP's servers become the first and the most effective barrier in the way of viruses and spam. To be successful, such solutions must be bullet-proof reliable, exceptionally productive, and fault-tolerant. But such a solution with combination of these three features can be developed only by a company with a long-term expertise and deep knowledge in development of such systems. Such expertise has Doctor Web, Ltd. and now we present to the public fundamentally new solution in the Dr.Web product line – Dr.Web Mail Gateway.

Installation of Dr.Web Mail Gateway on a separate company server increases stability of the mail filtering system’s operation, considerably increases general company security, extends capabilities of the solution itself.
