Symantec Secures Cloud Messaging
Symantec has just announced the worldwide availability of Symantec Instant Messaging Security cloud (IMS.cloud) with support for Microsoft Lync. IMS.cloud scans messages and attachments for malware, blocks malicious URLs, protects organizations from data loss and logs messages for compliance purposes without the need for additional hardware and software.
IMS.cloud is designed to scan every IM sent to or coming from an organization. Incoming messages, including attachments, are scanned for viruses, worms and URLs which may lead to malicious websites.
All incoming and outgoing messages are also matched against the organization's acceptable use policies. Any message that is malicious or suspicious or violates corporate policy is automatically blocked and the user is notified. Key features and benefits of IMS.cloud include:
- Content control engine
- Message logging and archiving
- Skeptic malware protection
- Cloud-based service
Symantec Instant Messaging Security cloud is available worldwide. The service can be purchased on its own or in combination with other Symantec.cloud services across email and Web.
CA Upgrades Security Services
CA Technologies announced two new identity and access management (IAM) cloud security services that expand its portfolio of IAM-as-a-service solutions.
The new cloud solutions, CA IdentityMinder as-a-Service and CA FedMinder as-a-Service, join the company's existing advanced authentication services as part of the new CA CloudMinder family of IAM cloud solutions.
CA IdentityMinder as-a-Service and CA FedMinder as-a-Service offer all the benefits of a cloud deployment model, including elasticity to expand or contract service support as needed, shorter deployment cycles and cost-savings as a result of reduced IT administration.
It also comes with integration with CA AuthMinder as-a-Service, enabling customers to add strong authentication for accessing CA IdentityMinder as-a-Service and CA FedMinder as-a-Service.
This supplements standard user name and password authentication. The IAM portfolio includes the new cloud solutions, CA AuthMinder as-a-Service (formerly CA Arcot A-OK for WebFort) and CA RiskMinder as-a-Service (formerly CA Arcot A-OK for RiskFort), which provides risk-based authentication to protect against breaches and fraud.
