WatchGuard promises 30% more efficiency

WatchGuard Technologies has announced an enhanced content security solution that allows enterprise customers and messaging service providers to securely transmit and receive up to 30% more e-mail messages than previous generations.

The increased performance of the WatchGuard XCS 1180, which is a part of the company's Extensible content security solutions platform, is critical to helping large organizations defend against e-mail attacks such as spear phishing, for which e-mail is the top point of entry.

"As corporate e-mail addresses become more visible through social networking and blogs, and e-mail traffic continues to increase, a powerful content security solution is more mission-critical than ever for today's enterprises," says Roger Klorese, director of product management at WatchGuard.

"The XCS 1180 provides enterprise and service provider customers with greater throughput at the same price as previous generations, allowing businesses to quickly process a greater density of messages without increasing IT spending," he adds.

The XCS 1180 is now available for purchase and trade-up, and includes WatchGuard's LiveSecurity PLUS customer support and customizable reporting features to help IT with audit requests and compliance requirements.

The XCS 1180 joins other WatchGuard XCS physical appliances and WatchGuard XCSv virtual appliances in delivering not only powerful protection against e-mail-delivered threats, but web-based attacks as well, while protecting valuable assets with data loss prevention.
