SurfControl On-Demand E-Mail Security Launched in India

SurfControl, a provider of global on-demand, network and endpoint IT security solutions, has launched its on-demand e-mail filtering services, MailControl, in India.

The MailControl service provides ‘in the cloud’ protection against unwanted and malicious content entering the network. The launch completes SurfControl’s portfolio of on-demand, network and endpoint IT security solutions in the region.

SurfControl’s Vice President Sales for Asia Pacific, David Lenz, said Indian businesses were facing increasing volumes of Spam.

“By filtering ‘in the cloud’, Spam and other unwanted content is prevented from entering the network, reducing bandwidth costs as well as the productivity strain on the corporate IT team,” Lenz said.

SurfControl is supporting the launch with training for value added resellers in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore during April. The training will be provided by distributor Foresight Software Solutions and cover service features and sales tools for the region.

Lenz said India and South East Asia were integral to SurfControl’s growth strategy.
