Clearwater, Fla - August 12, 2009 - Sunbelt
Software, a leading provider of Windows security software,
today announced a licensing agreement with FaceTime Communications,
the leading provider of solutions enabling the safe use of Web 2.0
and unified communications in the enterprise.
Through the terms of the agreement, Sunbelt's anti-malware
technology, designed specifically for the gateway, and its Threat
Track™ data feeds have been licensed by FaceTime for integration
with its Unified Security Gateway product. As part of the
integration, FaceTime will deploy Sunbelt's VIPRE® technology into its appliance to augment
the protection provided by FaceTime's Security Labs and the
FaceTime WebFilter.
With the incorporation of Sunbelt's gateway anti-malware
technology, FaceTime's Unified Security Gateway delivers robust
malware scanning at the network perimeter alongside traditional Web
filtering. This is in addition to the application research provided
by FaceTime's Security Labs, which protects enterprises from the
associated threats of more than 2,100 Web 2.0 applications from
instant messaging to P2P, Gaming, IPTV and social networking.
Sunbelt's Threat Track provides the industry's most accurate and
up-to-date feeds, identifying and propagating the latest malicious
URLs and malware to researchers. It relies on the world-class
research efforts of SunbeltLabs™, the malware research and analysis
division of Sunbelt Software.
"As enterprise communications converge with publicly available
Web 2.0 applications it becomes imperative to secure increasingly
complex data streams," said Nishant Jadhav, Director of Product
Management of FaceTime Communications. "Sunbelt gives us the most
powerful information in real-time to be able to protect enterprise
users so they can freely communicate through any channel in a
secure fashion."
"Sunbelt's threat research and detection technology, along with
Threat Track data feeds is a perfect complement to FaceTime's
existing application security capabilities," said Chad Loeven, VP,
business development for Sunbelt Software. "The integration of our
comprehensive perimeter anti-malware scanning engine provides
FaceTime's customers protection from the full range of threats that
can be found in the Web 2.0 sphere."
