Monday February 13, 4:00 am ET

Commtouch's Unique Email Security Technology Adds Ideal Protection for Residential Gateways and Enterprise Security Appliances

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2006--Commtouch® (NASDAQ:CTCH - News), the developer of ground-breaking RPD(TM) technology for real time anti-spam and Zero-Hour(TM) virus protection, announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with Intoto, a leading provider of network-centric secure gateway software for networking and communications original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Intoto's selection of Commtouch is seen as another affirmation of the suitability of Commtouch's RPD technology for the most advanced network security equipment. Commtouch's email security solution will now be available on small office-home office (SOHO) devices, residential gateways, and security appliances.

Under the terms of the agreement, Commtouch's proven anti-spam and Zero-Hour Virus Protection technologies will be offered as an integrated module for Intoto's iGateway EX and RGS software platforms. The combined solution allows networking security vendors to add gateway-based anti-spam capabilities to their unified threat management (UTM) and standard security appliances.

Strategic Enhancement to Enterprise-grade and Residential Gateways

"Commtouch's anti-spam and Zero-Hour protection services are the perfect complement to our iGateway platforms," said Doug Makishima, vice president of marketing at Intoto. "Given the significant impact spam and malware has on productivity in the workplace, the addition of these new protection services enables Intoto to offer a very competitive, feature-rich software platform for our SOHO and enterprise network equipment customers. We look forward to working with Commtouch in bringing comprehensive security solutions to market."

Avner Amram, Executive Vice President of Commtouch, points out that spam and virus threats are becoming more sophisticated, challenging even the most accepted and popular solutions on the market. "New viruses and spam continue to assault business and residential customers, and present challenges to software and equipment makers to keep up. Now, security equipment vendors can save considerable time and money by incorporating best-of-class technologies from Intoto and Commtouch to defend against new outbreaks."
