VeriSign Launches Message Archive Service

VeriSign, Inc. (www.verisign.com), a provider of intelligent infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, today announced the launch of the VeriSign® Message Archive Service and the VeriSign® Message Continuity Service, two services to complement the VeriSign® Email Security Service.

The use of email as a mission-critical business tool presents many challenges for enterprises.  In response to legal and regulatory requirements, including directives from the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), VeriSign offers enterprises the ability to tag, index and securely store email to enable rapid search and retrieval. 

The VeriSign Message Continuity Service is an “always-on” email continuity and disaster recovery service that provides 24/7 access to message content and email functionality. The service intercepts and copies all inbound and outbound email, and stores them in a 30-day rolling message store.  Administrators and end-users can access a secure, searchable message store to recover lost or deleted emails.

“Enterprises are caught between relying on email as an essential business tool and responding to new regulatory demands for maintaining ready access to all electronic communications,” said Chad Kinzelberg, vice president, VeriSign Security Services.

Both the Message Archive and Message Continuity Services integrate easily with SMTP-compatible email systems such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise. 

The VeriSign Email Security Service can help businesses of all sizes combat the threat of spam and email-borne viruses.  The service uses a cost-effective, service-oriented strategy that delivers a measurable, immediate return on investment by improving IT and employee productivity, reducing bandwidth and storage costs, and increasing email reliability.

VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRSN) operates intelligent infrastructure services that enable businesses and individuals to find, connect, secure and transact across today’s complex, global networks.
