Boosting Email Security With New Vendor Strategies For Protection

As users look to lock down crucial email and messaging and avoid embarrassing snafus, security vendors are cranking up their efforts to please.

Today, for instance, email security specialist Forensic Compliance Solutions (FCS) signed a deal with Canton, Mass.-based Network Engines to manufacture archiving devices for users scrambling to overhaul their email strategies. (See FCS, Network Engines Team.)

Network Engines, which also builds a storage array for EMC and a network access control appliance for Bradford Networks, will now build U.K.-based FCS's Cryoserver box and distribute the appliances amongst U.S. resellers.

At least one user told Byte and Switch that he needs a specialist archiving appliance to safeguard key email data. "We're able to find emails that were deleted from inboxes," says Charlie Tonkiss, IT manager at London, U.K.-based engineering firm Whitbybird, noting that his industry can be quite litigious.
