Clearswift's resellers get Smart Web & Mail

Clearswift’s Asia Pacific managing director Peter Croft said the product will be sold through Clearswift’s reseller partners.

Existing Clearswift partners will be selling Smart Web and Mail, with opportunity for new resellers to come on board with the vendor, according to Croft.

“We currently have 20 Associate Resellers and this could grow to 40-50. It will attract resellers who sell to small to mid size businesses and are looking to provide them with a complete web and email security solution. Channel partners can expect premium reseller's margin will be better than 30 points,” said Croft.

Smart Web & Mail bundles together Clearswift’s MIMEsweeper Web and Email Appliances to give SMEs total inbound and outbound security. It’s designed to stop bad content on the Internet and on email, with full protection from spam, spyware, virus attack and other forms of malware, as well as helping to prevent productivity loss through inappropriate web usage, claimed Croft.

The solution also safeguards confidential information such as credit card data and intellectual property and helps shield users from unwanted or inappropriate sites and online harassment.

“With around 1.2 million small businesses in Australia, Smart Web & Mail is dedicated to simplifying Internet security for these growing businesses, while also reducing the administrative burden and total cost of ownership associated with web and email protection,” he said.

The Smart Web & Mail functionality includes; bi-directional malware blocking from Kaspersky; unified management of email and web appliances; granular control over file types, file contents, their direction and size; full lexical analysis and lexical expression building tools; MIMEsweeper content filter policy engine for outbound data loss protection; built-in templates for PCI (credit card) and PII (National Insurance, Social Security) detection.

According to Croft the bundled product also includes; ThreatLab Managed Lists to block profanity and control a wide range of confidential and sensitive content; graphical, and scheduled reporting, with interactive drilldown on report items; SNMP and SMTP alerting; TRUSTmanager spam reputation service; URL filter; SpamLogic,. “That’s a just a few of the functionalities,” said Croft.
