Commtouch Software Ltd. (Nasdaq: CTCH) today announced a licensing agreement with internet security firm Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP).
This is apparently the largest contract to date for Commtouch, which has licensing agreements with over 80 partners.
Commtouch’s multi-layer email defense approach includes its Reputation service for perimeter blocking of unwanted emails, significantly reducing the necessary IT resources for handling email, and its anti-virus software. It also includes its anti-spam solution, which work with all formats and languages including Asian languages, image spam, and attachment spam.
“Check Point’s choice of Commtouch as the best solution for its customers after a period of rigorous testing further validates our technology and is an important milestone for Commtouch,” said Gideon Mantel, Commtouch’s chief executive officer and chairman of the board.
Commtouch develops messaging software and is a global developer and provider of proprietary anti-spam and anti-virus solutions.
Also today, Commtouch announced the availability of its new GlobalView Mail Reputation Service, a perimeter protection layer that offloads the majority of spam, malware and phishing messages before they enter corporate networks, and identifies zombie-sent messages in real-time.
Shares in Commtouch had risen over 2% by mid-afternoon trading on Nasdaq, where its market cap hovers around $173 million.
