New Avinti
iSolation Server
stops new & unknown virus outbreaks by observing actual behavior
Avinti's new iSolation Server
enables businesses to have full control over an e-mail system - including
allowing the delivery of attachments and active content - without
resorting to shutting down the system or removing all incoming
attachments in the event of new virus outbreaks.
The iSolation Server prevents e-mail containing new and unknown viruses from spreading to unsuspecting users, working at the SMTP perimeter to:
- Intercept e-mail at the network edge
- Execute and monitor the e-mail behavior in a secure, virtual environment, and
- Quarantine any e-mail exhibiting malicious behavior before delivery to the target user.
The key difference between the Avinti solution and existing, signature-based antivirus offerings is in it's use of virtual machines to test and examine the actual behavior of e-mail messages.
The Avinti iSolation Server with virtual machine technology:
- Executes e-mail and attachments in a virtual environment at the network edge, before reaching the target user
- Observes the attempted behavior of suspect e-mail to determine its intent
- Quarantines e-mail demonstrating suspicious or malicious behavior
- Enables quarantined e-mails to be analyzed and cleaned by an administrator for future delivery.
New Certified
Mail white paper on support for HIPAA, GLB Sarbanes
Oxley & SEC compliance
Government privacy requirements such as the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and Sarbanes-Oxley mean that secure email has become a must-have, rather than a would-be-nice, for most businesses today.
Historically, email security has been a black art, the province of specialists in encryption, digital certificates, virtual private networks and key algorithms. But with so many everyday tasks in healthcare, finance, even human resources, now falling under privacy regulations, such an approach is no longer viable. Non-technical users need to be able to send secure communications at the touch of a button. And IT staffs need a turnkey approach so that they’re able to easily manage secure email alongside all their other tasks.
Whether you are looking for a hosted secure email service, or a self-contained in-house software solution, CertifiedMail can meet your needs. Over the past decade, CertifiedMail has developed and implemented a range of secure email solutions that are very easy to install, maintain, and use, and that meet all government-mandated security standards. CertifiedMail solutions are built on standard platforms, integrate with all major commercial email systems, and use commonly-implemented security standards. The result is a system that is transparent to end users, very simple to administer, and becomes an integral part of your business process.
It covers our entire range of secure HIPAA, GLB, Sarbanes-Oxley and SEC solutions available through the CertifiedMail platform, including our new:
- secure POP3 interface
- secure large file transfer up to 2Gb
- administrative archiving
- hosted service or in-house software version
- single sign-on to your existing network
- Web Services API in our upcoming v4 release

networkTwister
- protects Instant Messaging through encryption
networkTwister allows your organization to secure and manage all IM communications easily an transparently. With networkTwister,
organizations can safely establish an enforce IM messaging policies, compliance requirements an industry best practices without burdening
business associates, partners an remote users with a additional software or
key management issues.
When you send messages using standard clients, the messages are intercepted and encrypted and policies applied after they are
sent, but before they leave the sender's machine or network. On the receiving side,
networkTwister converts the message back to its unsecure form and applies any necessary policies only after it reaches the recipient machine or
network. This process happens transparently -without affecting the IM client
performance or requiring any end user changes. For enterprise deployment, the
product can be installed 'silently' i.e. without en users noticing any changes
in Instant Messaging and without any need to access user desktops.
There is no need for any configuration changes to use networkTwister for
personal use. Once you have installed networkTwister for your enterprise,
or imTwister for traveling or at-home users, you can continue to use your favorite IM
client. networkTwister automatically discovers other networkTwister users
and creates secure channels. You can also continue to chat with non-networkTwister users (but without any privacy guarantee).
networkTwister provides a turnkey solution. There is no need to integrate
with or buy third party products.

Boeing
joins the 25% of employers who have fired employees for violating
e-mail policy
According to the 2004 Workplace E-Mail and IM Survey from American
Management Association and ePolicy Institute, with 86% of employees
using company e-mail for personal correspondence, the risk of sexually
charged e-mail is huge. No wonder 20% of companies have had employee
e-mail subpoenaed, and 13% have battled e-mail-related lawsuits.
Instant Messaging increases risks for workers who play it fast and loose with language: 58% engage in personal IM at work, and 6% send sexual, romantic, pornographic content.
The ePolicy Institute offers tips to avoid career-ending e-mail gaffes:
- Do not assume the exec in the corner office knows better. Stonecipher is not the first CEO to trigger e-mail disaster. In 2001, the CEO of Cerner Corp sent an e-mail that triggered a 25% drop in stock valuation.
- Establish e-mail policy governing language, usage and netiquette. Insist all employees, from summer interns to the CEO, comply.
- Educate all employees about e-mail risks, rules and regulations.
- Enforce e-mail policy with software: 87% of companies monitor e-mail; 10% monitor IM.
- If you monitor e-mail , notify employees they have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
