WebLOQ Private Email System Acclaimed for Its Excellent Performance
MONTEREY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
WebLOQ, Inc., a leader in total privacy solutions for secure and compliant
business communications, today announced its Private Email Solution was
evaluated by NSS Labs, a leading independent test lab and product analyst firm.
WebLOQ`s solution underwent in-depth performance testing and received the NSS
Labs Tested certification. 

As the means for electronic communications become more pervasive, the threat of
personal and confidential data getting into the wrong hands also rises. The
problem stems from the misconception that email is "safe and secure" along with
corporate data policies that are antiquated or non-existent across many
businesses and organizations. The need for a private and secure channel of
communications is particularly acute across small and medium-sized businesses
where there is a high concentration of professionals that have private client
data (i.e. accountants, doctors and healthcare professionals, insurance agents,
financial professionals) and government and law enforcement organizations that
exchange confidential communications. 

"NSS Labs found that the WebLOQ Private Email system is a robust and stable
email solution that should be on everyone`s short list for secure, end-to-end
private email," said Rick Moy, president at NSS Labs. "The WebLOQ Private Email
system provides excellent performance under all normal traffic conditions, and
is suitable for Enterprise, Hosting/Service Provider, and Carrier environments.
In addition, we found the WebLOQ Private Email to be very stable and reliable,
coping with our extensive reliability tests with ease." 

Recognized for its independent reviews of IT related technology, NSS Labs tested
the WebLOQ solution as if it were running within a standard corporate
enterprise. As configured for the test, the WebLOQ Private Email system
demonstrated its capability to support roughly 6,000 users, where each user
sends 48 emails per 8 hour day. The real world test lab simulation was completed
in May 2009 and consisted of two Dell 1435 servers and 1,000 desktop clients.
The WebLOQ Private Email system was tested up to and beyond six Terabits per
day. Based on the results of the load testing, the WebLOQ Private Email system
has earned a 304 Mbps burst and 72 Mbps long-term sustained performance rating
by NSS Labs. Throughout the test, stability was not an issue and the client
easily integrated into both Microsoft Outlook 2007 and Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0. 

"WebLOQ is redefining the relationship between email performance and security,"
said George Sidman, chief technology architect at WebLOQ. "We believe in our
product enough to have it evaluated by one of the most rigorous test labs in the
industry. It easily met and surpassed expectations and demonstrated WebLOQ`s
focus on privacy, and it provides an elegant solution that is robust enough for
the world`s largest organizations and simple enough for a home office." 

The WebLOQ Private Email system transfers all sensitive documents, emails,
subject lines, attachments and recipient details across a WebLOQ Private
Community. The information is routed over purely private domains, and is
automatically protected using industry standard, double-encryption
methodologies. All emails, documents and related forensic information are stored
in a secure, central database for maximum security, easy auditing and on-demand
regulatory compliance reporting. 

WebLOQ`s recognition for performance and scalability by NSS Labs supports the
validity of the solution as it was recently assessed by the University of Texas
at Dallas` CyberSecurity Research Center for zero vulnerability. For the entire
