Marshal8e6 Adds ArcMail Email Archiving to Lineup; Provides Comprehensive
Solution for Security and Compliance
ORANGE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Marshal8e6, the leader in Web and email security for the K-12 market, today
announced a technology partnership with ArcMail, a leading provider of email
archiving and management solutions. Through this partnership, Marshal8e6 will
add email archiving to its integrated Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and email
security products and create a "one-stop-shop" source for effective
multi-layered security. Education agencies and districts can now protect their
networks and their students while meeting federal regulations with one
cost-effective security package. Marshal8e6`s full line of security products,
including the new ArcMail solution, will be on display at the Marshal8e6 booth
(#2048) at the NECC Conference this week in Washington, D.C. 

"The partnership between Marshal8e6 and ArcMail is a perfect marriage of
complementary technologies," said Todd Gates, chief executive officer of
ArcMail. "Marshal8e6 recognizes education customers' needs and the ease that a
network appliance delivery model brings to the table. We see Marshal8e6 and
ArcMail as a hand-in-glove fit for an end-to-end email solution. We look forward
to growing, leveraging and maximizing this partnership on many levels." 

Despite reduced IT budgets and resources, Marshal8e6 is able to address the
increased challenge of protecting students and district networks while ensuring
federal and district policy compliance. Their turn-key Secure Web Gateway and
email security products protect students and networks from the emerging security
issue of blended threats: attacks that prey upon multiple vulnerabilities within
networks. At the same time, Marshal8e6`s solutions allow education institutions
to be compliant under two federal regulations: the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). 

Under both federal requirements, educational institutions that receive funding
from the U.S. Department of Education must maintain strict controls over who has
access to student records and ensure the privacy of student information (FERPA),
and must maintain an inventory of various documents and data storage systems to
determine whether the documents must be disclosed for possible e-discovery
(FRCP). Marshal8e6`s Secure Web Gateway and email security products allow
districts to block, monitor and report on all email and Web traffic, while
monitoring for any data leakage, as required by FERPA, and ArcMail`s products
automatically capture, index and store inbound and outbound emails and
attachments for possible e-discovery, as required by FRCP. Marshal8e6 customers
can be assured that they meet both regulations and that their students are
secure while surfing online. 

"We chose Marshal8e6 because their solutions are focused specifically on the
education space," said Michael Waranowicz, network administrator at Sayreville
Public Schools. "Previously, we had to use multiple vendors to take care of our
security needs. With Marshal8e6, we see significant cost and support benefits by
having all our email and Web security needs taken care of by one vendor." 

In the past few months alone, Marshal8e6 has added 20 large schools districts
and the State of Ohio. Marshal8e6 now has nine state-wide contracts and
protectsover 8 million students in North America.
