WOBURN, Mass. – August 13, 2007 – Reflexion Networks, a leading provider of managed email threat protection services, and CMIT Solutions, one of the largest IT services and products franchise companies in the United States with over 100 locations in 32 states, today announced an agreement to deliver affordable, enterprise-class managed email security services to small and midsize businesses (SMBs) with up to 500 employees. CMIT Solutions will offer Reflexion Total Control as part of its managed services offering, protecting its customers from spam in any language, phishing attacks and other malicious email content.
The SMB market is widely recognized as a key driver of the national economy, but less recognized as a crucial component of the email security ecosystem. Security vendors with well-differentiated products typically focus on large corporate accounts, at the expense of the SMB market. The SMB market needs enterprise-class capability, but in an affordable offering that is easy to deploy and manage. Without adequate security tools, unprotected SMB accounts provide a platform that spammers, virus writers, and hackers can use to attack targets ranging from consumers to the largest organizations. This partnership brings an affordable, uniquely effective solution to the SMB market, in the form of a managed service for easy deployment and zero on-going maintenance.
“CMIT Solutions set out to find the best managed anti-spam and email security solution with rapid deployment and simplified franchisee billing options. Reflexion is a perfect match for our requirements,” said Georgia Jones, CMIT Solutions’ founder and Vice President of Alliances. “CMIT Solutions’ goal is to simplify the technology side of the customer’s business, so that they can focus on making money. With Reflexion, we can eliminate the time and effort that would otherwise have to go into managing and securing the email stream, giving our customers the confidence and capacity to focus on their other priorities.”
The benefits of CMIT Solutions’ managed email threat protection service include:
• Effective inbox control – Reflexion provides email users with unparalleled control over their inbox, blocking unwanted mail, while also providing the means of assuring the delivery of legitimate mail. A daily spam quarantine report can be sent to reassure users that they aren’t missing anything important.
• An insulating layer of security – This managed service blocks unwanted and potentially harmful email before it even reaches the corporate network, keeping malicious content at arm’s length and saving bandwidth.
• Email / business continuity – You needn’t worry about losing email when your power goes out or your local email server fails; this service automatically queues inbound mail, presenting it for delivery when normal operations resume. It also helps avoid the business disruption that can result from having your local email server blacklisted.• Brand protection and blacklist avoidance – Outbound email is audited, too, to help prevent customers from spamming or spreading viruses to their customers, partners and suppliers.
