Clearswift, the MIMEsweeper™ Company and a world leader in content security and Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions that protect against viruses, Trojans, spyware, spam and hacker attacks, announced today that Kaspersky Lab will now provide antivirus protection for Clearswift's new MIMEsweeper SMTP Appliance. As a result of this partnership, Clearswift's appliance customers will have Kaspersky Lab's award winning antivirus protection as a part of their overall network security system. In addition to Kaspersky Anti-Virus technology, the MIMEsweeper SMTP Appliance comes equipped with the company's content security MIMEsweeper engine, and a new anti-spam solution developed by Clearswift, as well as MIMEsweeper's default email security policy.

"When combined with our powerful MIMEsweeper engine and our anti-spam technology, Kaspersky Anti-Virus helps provide our customers with complete protection against incoming and outgoing content security threats. The Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine not only provides superior antivirus defense but also industry-leading anti-spyware protection. Additionally, it allows us to deliver the same types of features and functionality in an antivirus solution that our customers have come to expect from our anti-spam and content filtering technologies. Our pre-loaded appliance provides organizations with plug-and-play deployment, quick, automatic updates, and consistent management of enterprise security policies. It is also the only appliance to protect all inbound and outbound traffic to enable comprehensive Enterprise Content Governance."
