H3C Technologies has selected Commtouch, messaging security technology for integration into its new Unified Threat Management (UTM) platforms series.
The H3C SecPath Unified Security Platforms are embedded with Commtouch Anti-Spam based on Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) technology to provide messaging and networking security for small and medium businesses and enterprises in China, Asia Pacific and throughout the world.
Zhou Shunlin, director of security products and vice president of research and development at H3C, said: “Our new UTM requires an exceptional level of messaging security for our customers. We chose to partner with Commtouch because of its demonstrated experience with the Chinese market and its language-agnostic technology, which has proven to be especially effective with double-byte Asian languages.”
According to the company, the market for multifunction firewalls like H3C’s UTM product is expected to continue experiencing growth. Gartner forecasts a 20-25% compound annual growth rate worldwide for the SMB multifunction firewall market through 2012. Messaging security technology such as spam, phishing and malware protection is an integral part of many multifunction firewall platforms, the company said.
Ido Hadari, vice president of international business development and sales, Commtouch, said: “H3C’s new line of UTM platforms combines our advanced messaging security technologies with its innovative networking solutions. This partnership benefits both companies by opening up new opportunities in the region and in the global market.”
