The Recognition PR Newsroom

February 19, Sydney – Symantec Hosted Services has launched a new suite of promotional product bundles, called Safeguard bundles. These bundles are available to MessageLabs™ reseller partners in Australia and New Zealand to help solve the email, web and instant messaging (IM) security challenges facing mid-sized business customers.

The bundles have been released with promotional pricing, designed to help Symantec Hosted Services partners increase competitiveness and assist driving solution sales by providing a holistic approach.

Philip Routley, APJ Product Marketing Manager, Symantec Hosted Services, said, “In this environment, it is important for organisations to take a holistic approach to messaging security that includes email, web and IM traffic. Businesses of all sizes are under attack, however often smaller organisations do not have equivalent IT budget or security expertise to receive the same levels of protection as their larger counterparts.

“Safeguard bundles let Symantec Hosted Services partners offer their customers, regardless of size, a cost effective solution that provides advanced protection while simplifying administration and lowering total cost of ownership.”

The bundled services for Hosted Messaging Security include:

• MessageLabs Security Safeguard: Email antivirus, antispam, content control and image control. Web antivirus, anti spyware and URL filtering. Instant messaging security and control.

• MessageLabs Email and Web Safeguard: Email antivirus, antispam, content control and image control. Web antivirus, anti spyware and URL filtering.

• MessageLabs Email Safeguard: Email antivirus, antispam, content control and image control.
