ICM Selects Webroot Email Security SaaS For Advanced Business Continuity
Posted: Wednesday 27 August, 2008
"In recent years we have seen a massive growth in the volume of emails used by business, with it becoming a mission critical tool for majority of firms, essential to the day to day running of commerce and communication", commented Roland Mann, Sales Director, ICM. "To this end, the security of email systems, and the reassurance that email communications are protected from outside attack and are securely stored is massively important. Our partnership with Webroot gives our clients' email systems award winning, optimal protection that minimizes the potential for business interruption through email failure."
Since winning CRN's 2007 UK Security Vendor of the Year, Webroot has continued its charge for channel growth and expansion of its Perimeter Security SaaS partner network, expanding from EMEA, to North America and Asia Pacific. Business continuity is quickly becoming an integral part of a company's security and recovery strategy, as it enables businesses to continue to work largely unaffected in the event of a calamity. If a customer's mail server should fail for example, employees will be able to access any incoming email by simply switching to a web browser email interface that is provided by Webroot. This ensures no outage, with users able to continue receiving, sending and replying to emails. In mission critical areas such as the legal sector, order processing and amongst the directors of a business, this is a key business requirement.
In addition to providing email access at any time, the Business Continuity Service enables users to continue working with their email if their normal desktop email becomes unavailable due to a power cut or being unable to connect via a VPN for example. The service enables any user with a mail client to benefit from cost effective email business continuity without the need for software or hardware to be installed.
"Our partnership with ICM, further personifies our commitment to the channel and to offering the market a highly-specialized SaaS security platform that partners and their customers can depend on," said Ian Moyse, Channel Director for Webroot. "Being selected as an integral part of the prestigious ICM Business Continuity solutions portfolio bolsters our penetration of the SaaS marketplace."
