With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies, organizations face a new wave of security issues and threats on a daily basis, including Web-borne viruses, Trojans and spyware, malware and phishing attacks. To combat these threats, Brightfilter offers its larger customers the Secure Computing Webwasher and IronMail gateway security appliances, powered by TrustedSource, to comprehensively and proactively protect themselves from the new threats presented by Web 2.0.

However, smaller organizations and schools do not necessarily have the time, in-house skills or financial resource to run these on-site appliances. For these customers, Brightfilter offers Secure Computing's industry-leading Web and email Gateway-based solutions as "in-the-cloud" off-site managed services. Hosted in high-availability server farms, Brightfilter Managed Services provide the power of Secure Computing's TrustedSource-enabled Webwasher and IronMail solutions to protect all Web- and email-based traffic for customers of any size, in any industry.

About F5 Networks
F5 Networks is the global leader in Application Delivery Networking. F5 provides solutions that make applications secure, fast and available for everyone, helping organizations get the most out of their investment. By adding intelligence and manageability into the network to offload functions (such as anti-spam scanning), F5 optimizes applications like email and enables on-demand, secure performance while reducing resource consumption. F5's extensible architecture intelligently integrates application optimization, protects the application and the network, and delivers application reliability-all on one universal platform. More than 16,000 organizations and service providers worldwide trust F5 to keep their applications running, and more secure. The company is headquartered in Seattle, Washington with offices worldwide. For more information, go to www.f5.com.

The partnership between F5 and Secure Computing provides F5 customers with a groundbreaking new solution: the BIG-IP™ Messaging Security Module™ (MSM). This add-on module for BIG-IP enables customers to stop unwanted email at the edge of the network by leveraging Secure Computing TrustedSource™.

BIG-IP checks every incoming email connection against TrustedSource's reputation score. Adjustable thresholds based on this score instruct BIG-IP on whether to accept the incoming connection, and if accepted which pool of next-layer messaging security servers to send the message. Because BIG-IP Message Security Module is not inspecting the content of the messages, its protection performance is extremely powerful, efficient and cost-effective. The accuracy of TrustedSource scores enables confident decision-making without inspecting the email message.

This solution from F5 provides an affordable way to deal with the rapid growth of spam, without box proliferation on the network or taking up valuable rack space and power. For more information about MSM, click here.
