LanGate Selects Mailshell to Add Integrated Email Reputation, Spam and Phishing Protection to its UTM Solutions

LanGate, the leading gateway security software provider in China, has selected Mailshell to provide spam filtering, phishing detection and email reputation technology.

Guangzhou, China and San Francisco (PRWEB) September 11, 2008 -- LanGate, the leading gateway security software provider in China, has selected Mailshell to provide integrated spam filtering, phishing detection and email reputation technology. LanGate will integrate the Mailshell SDK, including the LiveFeed real-time reputation data service, into its UTM products, as a replacement for SpamAssassin, the popular open source spam filter. LanGate's UTM customers will join more than 6,000 enterprises and more than 15 million consumers who rely on 'Powered by Mailshell' filters for email reputation, spam filtering and phishing detection.

LanGate's customers will also have access to LiveFeed, Mailshell's real-time reputation data service that uses advanced statistical models and a global data network to quantify the reputation for each message. Unlike binary 'good' or 'bad' rating systems, LiveFeed produces graduated trust ratings that automatically adjust over time as reputations change. LanGate will also participate in Mailshell's global data network, thereby enhancing Mailshell's real-time profile of spam in China and across Asia. LanGate's UTM solutions also include VPN, firewall, gateway anti-virus, content filtering, traffic management, and IDS/IPS functions.

"Mailshell's SDK is the most flexible and easiest to integrate," said Shirley Poon, vice president of marketing at LanGate. "Working with Mailshell will decrease the impact on our internal resources, while increasing the quality of detection and service we can offer our customers."

"LanGate's focus and expertise in the Chinese market is an exciting new partnership in our global network of OEM partners," said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell. "LanGate's integration of our technology, and contribution to our global data network, make this relationship truly mutually beneficial."

Mailshell is the world's leading email reputation, anti-spam and anti-phishing engine provider. Via Mailshell's OEM partners, more than 6,000 companies and 15 million consumers worldwide rely on "Powered by Mailshell" filters to block spam and phishing. Mailshell's software helps its OEM partners, including Computer Associates, Secure Computing, ZyXEL, Webroot, Eset and AVG, among others, generate new anti-spam revenue, up-sell existing products to new anti-spam customers, and cut anti-spam engineering and support costs to near zero.
