Email Security Grader evaluates mail infrastructure weaknesses
Vi rcom’s Email Security Grader is a free online tool which helps IT and mail administrators evaluate the security of their mail infrastructure. The web site regroups several important tests, educates users and makes recommendations for each aspect of email security.
Vircom Inc. shares technical knowledge and expertise by offering a free email security analysis online tool: Email Security Grader.
The EmailSecurityGrader.com web site empowers IT and mail administrators by allowing them to run a full email security test suite on their domain. After analysis of a domain name’s mail infrastructure, Email Security Grader performs diagnostics on MX records, reverse DNS, SPF, DNSBL, Open Relay and SMTP/POP3/IMAP authentication. The user is presented with a detailed report of the analysis, and given recommendations for improving system security and, most importantly, why.
“I am very proud to see Email Security Grader go live today” said Mike Petsalis, COO at Vircom. “This project is an employee initiative, what I call a 10% project. It was driven by our R&D staff, engineers and IT from start to finish. The devs wanted to share their knowledge and expertise outside the scope of corporate product roadmap, and make it available for free on the web. Email Security Grader is the result of this effort.”
Nicolas Riousset, Development Lead at Vircom, continues: “Our entire team: Dev, QA, IT and Security Operations, mobilized their 10% to concentrate on a unified project to produce a result that reflected our very own technical know-how, abilities and passion. Most email and IT administrators are running email security software to protect their messaging infrastructure, yet many are integrating these solutions in insecure environments, thus compromising efficiency. ESG and Vircom are here to help and identify security flaws in their environment.”
In addition to providing an email security tool, ESG offers community-building discussion forums where users can interact with the developers to exchange ideas, debate, and improve the tests and scoring algorithms of the test suite. To evaluate your mail infrastructure and environment, run an Email Security Grader™ test on your domain at http://www.emailsecuritygrader.com

Named Best Email Security Solution by Info Security Products Guide
The SpammerTrap(R) Email Security appliance has won the prestigious Tomorrow’s Technology Today Award, sponsored by Info Security Products Guide in recognition of advanced, ground-breaking technologies and solutions that raise the bar in the information security space.
SECNAP(R) Network Security Corporation produces the SpammerTrap, which was honored in the Email Security category for its positive impact in today’s sophisticated, blended-attacks environment. SpammerTrap protects organizations from spam-borne viruses, Trojans, worms and other malware, and offers in and outbound encryption and content filtering, archiving and more – all in one appliance.
“Our developers make certain that SpammerTrap stays ahead of the pack,” said Jim Garrity, vice president of sales and marketing for SECNAP. “A recent product enhancement, for example, included thousands of QuickScan signatures and a ClamAV anti-virus update to ensure our clients continue to receive the most advanced protection. And the fact that we offer everything in one smart box, at one low price, is revolutionary in the industry.”
The ongoing evolution of cybercrime demands constant vigilance, as well as tomorrow’s technology today.
“Nothing differentiates a product or solution more than the superior technologies that make it suitable for today’s needs, while being ready for the threats of tomorrow,” said Rake Narang, editor-in-chief of Info Security Products Guide. “We are pleased to recognize SpammerTrap for being ahead of the curve.”
Offered through the SECNAP Channel One partner network, SpammerTrap was dubbed “King of Spam Filters” in a product review by SC Magazine last year. A complimentary 30-day evaluation of the appliance or hosted solution is available on request.
