Kerio Adds McAfee Anti-Virus to Secure E-Mail Messaging Platform
McAfee Selected Over Other Anti-Virus Solutions for Superior Detection Of
Emerging Virus Threats and World-Class Support
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 28 -- The McAfee Security division of Network
Associates, Inc. (NYSE: NET) today announced that Kerio Technologies, Inc.,
a provider of Internet security software for small to medium sized
networks, will integrate McAfee's advanced anti-virus technology into the
Kerio MailServer (KMS) solution.
Kerio MailServer with embedded McAfee anti-virus technology checks for
viruses and malicious code in incoming and outgoing e-mail traffic,
including Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) traffic, Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) encrypted SMTP messages, and Wireless Application Protocol
(WAP) traffic used by wireless devices and cellular phones. As a
pre-configured, stand-alone messaging solution, Kerio MailServer provides
customers with a simplified means of managing both e-mail messaging and
anti-virus security.
"McAfee quickly emerged as our anti-virus provider of choice for the Kerio
MailServer solution with its proven anti-virus scanning ability and easy to
support technology," said Dusan Vitek, Marketing Director for Kerio
Technologies. "Adding McAfee's unparalleled technology to our product
enables Kerio to offer an affordable, effective and seamless anti-virus
component to our secure messaging solution."
"Kerio had a choice of anti-virus providers to add integrated virus
scanning to its secure e-mail server solution, and McAfee was the only real
choice for them based on the superior virus detection capabilities of
McAfee's advanced scanning engine," said Michael Callahan, senior director
of product marketing for Network Associates' McAfee Security
division. "McAfee technology will power the anti-virus component of the
Kerio MailServer, intercepting viruses and worms in e-mail messages before
they can cause costly outbreaks or e-mail downtime that might be caused by
mail storms. Kerio customers also utilizing wireless handheld devices to
send and receive messages can also be assured their WAP communication is
virus free."

McAfee Security is available today from Kerio Technologies and runs on
