MessageLabs teams up with Symantec

Posted by   Virus Bulletin on   Oct 2, 2004

Companies collaborate to provide anti-spam services.

Email security firm MessageLabs and security company Symantec have announced that they will combine their anti-spam technologies to provide enhanced anti-spam services.

MessageLabs will integrate Symantec's Brightmail Anti-Spam technology (which the security company acquired only a matter of months ago) with its own Skeptic predictive anti-spam technology to provide the new service.

The combined solution will make use of Symantec's filtering technologies through its Symantec Logistics and Operations Center, and focus MessageLabs development resources on combating new, unknown and dynamic spam threats in the 'window of vulnerability' before a signature is available. The new service will be brought to market in the final quarter of 2004.
