Marshal8e6 Signs YOURasp for Hosted Email Filtering

Australian businesses increasingly look to tighter email filtering controls to protect customers and staff online

SYDNEY, Australia, 10 February 2009 – Marshal8e6, the global provider of email and Web security, today announced that YOURasp, a hosted application, internet and email provider, has purchased MailMarshal Service Provider Edition (SPE). The new deal will enable YOURasp’s 400 resellers to provide their customers with a robust and scalable hosted email screening service that will give businesses secure access to email.

YOURasp reviewed several solutions available with strict criteria. In order to service an ever-growing number of email users, the solution needed to be multi-tenanted and pay-as-you-go to allow for easy scalability. For YOURasp’s resellers, it needed to be flexible to allow for customisation and have the capacity for bundling and rebranding with other products to assist resellers in developing relationships with their customers.

According to Bob Grove, YOURasp’s Regional Sales Manager, the decision to go with Marshal8e6 was influenced by its highly customisable screening process.

“We needed a screening process that would complement the services we currently host and support our extensive partner channel,” said Mr Grove. “MailMarshal SPE’s unique screening process categorises email and then allows users to determine how that categorised email is to be processed further.”

“After conducting a customer satisfaction survey, we found that our email partners needed a cleaner, more secure service so their business customers would have the cleanest and most secure email service available. MailMarshal SPE was the only service that satisfied all of our criteria. Additionally, the local Marshal8e6 support team knows the ANZ market very well and have provided us with direct access to their product architects and developers,” continued Mr Grove.

According to Jeremy Hulse, Marshal8e6’s Vice President APAC, businesses are becoming wary of the need to employ tighter content filtering solutions.

“It’s interesting to see that there has been a lot of discussion in Australia about ISP filtering at a consumer level. However as YOURasp have found, many businesses are starting to request a higher level of content filtering to ensure their customers and staff are protected online.”

“It is important for businesses to realise the legal, reputational and productivity ramifications if their network is compromised or if they allow staff to send or access inappropriate content.”

YOURasp will offer MailMarshal SPE bundled with Microsoft Exchange Server to its 400 active resellers.

Placed in the Visionaries quadrant from Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Email Security Boundaries report 2008, Marshal8e6’s email security solutions continue to be focused on information content security, not just spam.
