Commtouch scores giant contract in Beijing

Pity though the contract was not quantified

Commtouch Software (Nasdaq: CTCH) can boast a coup in China: its leading antivirus vendor is adopting the Israeli company's anti-spam technology.

Not really new, but was big enough to have a folloup

On Wednesday Commtouch announced that Beijing-based Rising Corporation, which provides systems for secure content management and controls a quarter of China's market, will be using its anti-spam engine.

"We have every intention of capturing the Chinese anti-spam market by leveraging our leadership position in the AV market and the superior performance of our Commtouch-based products," commented Yiding Mao, a VP at Rising Corporation.

"Chinese spam is simply different, and importing western anti-spam technologies to China is no trivial matter. Our extensive laboratory evaluations showed that many solutions which work well in the US, fail to reach the same performance in China," Mao said.

Solutions that work in the U.S. based on heuristic content analysis, 'honeypots' and 'cocktails' integrating multiple protection layers don't work in China. But Commtouch's technology worked, he said.

Commtouch's RPD technology is network-based, so it identifies spam outbreaks according to their massive distribution patterns, explains the Israeli company's business development manager, Ronni Zehavi. Content and language are irrelevant.

Beijing Rising Technology Corp., formerly known as Beijing Rising Computer Technology Development Co., was established in November 1991, and became a stock company in April 1998.
