Zertificon Launches New Product Releases for Greater B2B E-mail Security

"Z1 SecureMail" family protects messages form unwanted snoopers
BERLIN--(Business Wire)--
Zertificon Solutions GmbH (www.zertificon.com), the provider of professional
e-mail encryption solutions, is set to release new versions of its products. The
business specialises in particular in e-mail security, encryption and
signatures.Its "Z1 SecureMail" family guarantees data protection and
confidentiality with regard to sensitive business information transmitted via
the Internet. Zertificon now launches its new releases before the end of the
year. Significant new features include compatibility with Debian Linux 5.0, the
new preferred platform, as well as the default supply of 64-bit versions.

The new versions of the appliance-based Zertificon products will be available
from the beginning of December. The "Z1 SecureMail Gateway 4.1" is a proxy
server for e-mail encryption and signatures with S/MIME and OpenPGP as well as
powerful certificate and policy administration. The "Z1 SecureMail Messenger",
which enables secure password-based communication via HTTPS messaging or
encrypted PDF, has also been optimised in version 2.6. Zertificon is also
introducing the "Z1 Backbone CertServer 2.3" to the market, which enables
central management of certificates for PKI-supported security applications.

Security, scalability and performance in focus

A key new feature in all Z1 SecureMail and Backbone products is the support
provided for the Debian Linux 5.0 operating system. Furthermore, all products
and Z1 appliances will all be configured as 64-bit software and will by default
also be run on 64-bit versions of the supported Debian Linux and SUN Solaris
operating systems. The updating of existing Zertificon solutions to comply with
the new Debian 5.0 platform will be automatically possible in the Z1 Appliance
Management GUI from January with a simple click of a button. Conversion to
64-bit operation is also possible for existing systems.

Major benefits of the product updates include significant improvements in
performance, security and scalability. These are primarily the result of the
operating system and software innovations as well as the use of the latest
technologies, such as 64-bit kernels, modules, drivers and 3rd Party Tools (Java
VM, Postfix, Postgres, Tomcat, OpenSSL and GnuPG etc.).

In addition to the platform upgrade, the new software versions also include new
functionality and optimisation. For example, an easy to use graphic licence
management tool has been integrated into the admin interface of the centrally
administered "Z1 SecureMail Gateway".
