In the West Coast technology report, the lab outlines the strict requirements for its Anti-Spyware Gateway certification and notes numerous positive conclusions for the eSafe Virtual Appliance, including:

-- "eSafe Virtual Appliance is a comprehensive gateway solution, with

each machine being able to cope with thousands of users; running

clusters of up to eight appliances can cater for even larger

organizations."

-- "The GUI will be familiar to any users of Aladdin's eSafe Gateway

product ... It is a lively and colored display, topped by a grid

showing what the product has seen, classified by source ... "

-- " ... the administrator is left with a console providing essential

information at a glance, and a detailed but easily navigable set of

options."

-- "Multiple options for detection and reaction exist, but it can be run

effectively using default options. Especially useful is the ability

to set differing setting for separate protocols."

-- "eSafe Gateway's easily understood graphics cover individually the

different protocols in use, instantly highlighting any arriving

malware in a way designed to attract attention to the particular area

of the gateway under attack. This information is of vital importance

to any administrator and its presentation here could hardly be

better."

"eSafe Virtual Appliance is a comprehensive gateway solution which deals effectively with a variety of spyware threats at this critical point in the network," said Chris Thomas, operations director at West Coast Labs.

"Today, Spyware is the number one security problem for enterprise users," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies for the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "The Checkmark Anti-spyware certification and the West Coat technology report provide independent verification of eSafe as a best-of-bread Web browsing security solution that protects our customers against the ever- growing spyware threat."
