MX Logic Helps Businesses with Email Systems Downed By Recent Storms

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Englewood, Colo. - June 12, 2008 - MX Logic, Inc. is offering two months of free email continuity service to businesses and organizations affected by the recent storms, flooding and tornadoes in several Midwest states. The MX Logic(R) Email Defense Service with Message Continuity allows businesses to redirect inbound and outbound email to MX Logic's data centers, enabling them to access, read, and respond to emails while making any necessary repairs to internal email hardware and software systems. To activate the continuity service, businesses can contact 1-877-695-6442.

Affected businesses who contact MX Logic will receive step-by-step instructions for redirecting their email to the MX Logic service. In most cases, the service can be activated immediately. Once internal email systems recover, businesses can redirect email back to their own internal email systems and download all the email stored by MX Logic.

"Email is a critical application for most of today's businesses, and losing it even for a short time can be devastating," said Pete Khanna, executive vice president at MX Logic. "We simply want to help."

The service is free for affected customers for up to 60 days, after which they can stop the service or choose to continue using the service at normal service prices. On a case-by-case basis, MX Logic will extend the free service period to businesses that need additional time or help.

New MX Logic Service Provides Relief to Security Hardware and Software

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0600

Englewood, Colo. - April 15, 2008- MX Logic, Inc. today introduced MX Perimeter Defense, a
new entry-level managed security service package for enterprises that still rely primarily on hardware and software to filter and protect email. The new package- which is part of the award-winning MX Logic® Email Defense Service- reduces bandwidth and email traffic load placed on hardware and software solutions by eliminating more than 60 percent of spam and viruses outside the network perimeter.

Spam levels continue to rise, accounting for as much as 85 percent of all email traffic according to the MX Logic Threat Operation Center, which filters and monitors more than a billion email messages each day. This high volume of malicious email places a significant burden on hardware and software security solutions, which have finite bandwidth. By eliminating the spam before it reaches the network, the service helps increase the performance and prolong the life of on-premises solutions. Reducing the burden on the hardware and software also helps lower ongoing management, maintenance and energy costs.

MX Perimeter Defense compares all inbound messages against an extensive database of known spammer IP addresses maintained and monitored 24x7 by the MX Logic Threat Operation Center. In addition, it filters against worms and other viruses using the proprietary MX Logic WormTraq virus engine, which intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms and viruses. Directory Harvest Attacks (DHAs), Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and attachment ".zip bombs" are also filtered and eliminated.

"It's no secret that managed services are clearly a better way to protect email because of the
in-the-cloud protection and cost-saving benefits, but that doesn't mean all enterprises can just
toss out their existing hardware and software investments," said Ryan Walsh, vice president of
product development at MX Logic. "MX Perimeter Defense gives enterprises the best of both worlds, allowing them to immediately take advantage of a managed service while continuing to use their existing security solutions."

MX Perimeter Defense costs as little as 16 cents per user, per month and requires no hardware or
software installation. The service is provided on a month-to-month basis, requiring no long-term
contracts. After subscribing to the service, users simply redirect their mail exchange (MX) record
to MX Logic, and the service begins filtering all inbound messages.
