Last week BorderWare Technologies Inc. introduced BorderWare Security Platform 8.0, describing it as the industry’s first security appliance to provide comprehensive email and Web security with anti-data leakage in a single, consolidated and correlated product and administrative interface.

“Until now, organizations globally were forced to purchase, deploy and manage disparate point products that exposed security gaps and increased complexity and operational costs,” says Shawn Eldridge, vice president of marketing and products for BorderWare. “With BorderWare Security Platform 8.0, organizations can infinitely scale to correlate security across email and Web, consolidate administration and policy management, leverage data loss prevention across email and Web, and enable value-added features and functionalities based on each customer’s security and privacy needs and goals.”

Featuring data loss prevention (DLP) across multiple protocols, the company reports that the new BorderWare Security Platform 8.0 is specifically designed to prevent threats via a flexible and efficient approach for quickly integrating new and customer-selected security and privacy features, accommodating unlimited customer growth, and consolidating administration, reporting and policy management.

“Security breaches no longer appear in just one communication channel, but as sophisticated, blended threats across email and Web. Mid-market organizations are looking not only for DLP but also for proficient management capabilities,” notes Brian Burke, program director for IDC’s security products program. “Email and Web protection as standalone solutions are becoming less effective and expensive security measures. Already a leader in securing content, BorderWare is well-positioned to address the changing security threats in inbound and outbound communication with this feature-rich, cost-effective platform.”
