Axway Adds High Availability and Disaster Recovery to Award-Winning MailGate® Solution

PHOENIX – August 16, 2011 – Axway (NYSE Euronext: AXW), the Business Interaction Networks company, announced today the release of MailGate® 5.0, which combines email network protection, policy-based content filtering, automated encryption and more in a single, integrated solution. Award-winning Axway MailGate now allows companies to leverage disaster recovery and high availability capabilities to survive a data or server catastrophe with email intact. The product is designed to protect the entire email network and reduce infrastructure costs and the liabilities associated with unsecured and unmanaged email communications.

Now including secure messaging functionality on a hardened Linux appliance, the latest release of Axway MailGate includes enterprise-class features such as gateway-to-gateway encryption, regulatory compliance lexicons, enhanced digital rights management, archiving capabilities and support for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). Using one appliance for all email security means easier management, fewer servers, less of a learning curve for IT departments and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for organizations.

“Now more than ever, business networks are under increased scrutiny to secure their business interactions. Email often plays a starring role in how we manage sensitive files and share proprietary data,” said Eric Ouellet, research vice president at Gartner. “Unsecure email can expose companies to serious vulnerabilities, including detrimental malware and leaks of company data. Companies must invest in comprehensive data security solutions, not just for their business, but to protect their employees, partners and customers.”

“A corporate email security strategy is only as strong as its weakest link. With the near daily headlines around both accidental data loss and natural disasters, IT departments now are responsible to manage more sophisticated email protection and recovery strategies,” said Joe Fisher, executive vice president of product strategy and solutions, Axway. “Axway’s comprehensive email security solutions couple industry-leading inbound protection with award-winning outbound policies and data recovery to reduce the liabilities associated with unprotected and unmanaged email communications, administrative headaches and infrastructure costs.”

Axway MailGate Key Features and Benefits:

• Inbound threat protection: Reduces network congestion and enhances employee productivity with virus protection, anti-spam filtering and defense against dark traffic.
• Outbound and inbound message security and data loss prevention (DLP): Universally enforces policies that protect confidential information and intellectual property, and ensures compliance with government regulations and corporate policies. Axway MailGate is the only product of its kind that can decrypt and inspect S/MIME encrypted email against an organization’s set policies. MailGate also validates digital signatures and enforces policy on digitally signed messages.
• Enterprise-grade capabilities: MailGate supports comprehensive email security infrastructures for large enterprises, and multi-tenancy support allows different policies to be applied to different business units and departments with a single installation – reducing deployment and maintenance costs.
