APPRIVER OFFERS FREE EMAIL CONTINUITY PROGRAM TO BUSINESSES AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTER
Posted by admin as AppRiver, Press Releases
AppRiver Offers Free E-mail Continuity Program to Businesses
Affected By Natural Disaster
AppRiver Protects Businesses’ Mission-Critical E-mail Operations during Outages
GULF BREEZE, FL—May 19, 2009—AppRiver, LLC, a leading provider of e-mail messaging and Web security solutions, today announced the introduction of its Digital Disaster Recovery Program to protect businesses’ mission-critical e-mail operations during outages caused by natural disasters.
The AppRiver Digital Disaster Recovery Program averts e-mail downtime by providing e-mail continuity services to businesses facing imminent natural disaster. Affected businesses simply redirect e-mail to AppRiver’s secure data centers. Once the danger passes and connectivity is restored, AppRiver will forward all outage-period e-mail activity to the company’s e-mail server, free of charge.
“The AppRiver Digital Disaster Recovery Program was designed to protect business e-mail and productivity during times of natural disaster,” said Michael Murdoch, CEO, AppRiver. “Because e-mail has become an integral part of doing business today, even momentary downtime can have serious consequences for an organization’s bottom line. That’s why businesses of all sizes should have a backup option that can maintain the continuity of e-mail during planned and unplanned downtimes.”
Registration is simple and typically takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Businesses simply contact AppRiver to receive step-by-step instructions for redirecting their e-mail to AppRiver’s secure servers. Almost immediately thereafter, AppRiver will begin monitoring the company’s e-mail server activity. When AppRiver detects a loss in connectivity with the e-mail server, the Digital Disaster Recovery Program will begin queuing the businesses’ incoming e-mail messages in one of its own securely located data centers until that company’s e-mail servers are up and running again. For this reason, many companies have come to view this free service as an essential item on their disaster preparation checklist.
The Digital Disaster Recovery Program first became available in 2005 when AppRiver partnered with the Florida Chamber of Commerce to help businesses in the state avoid the loss of critical e-mail messages during hurricane season. While the Florida Chamber of Commerce’s Hurricane Preparedness Program remains in effect, AppRiver developed the Digital Disaster Recovery Program to meet the growing demand for e-mail continuity services by any/all states impacted by natural disasters.

AppRiver was founded in 2002 when co-founders Michael Murdoch and Joel Smith, CTO, shared a vision to provide business-grade email and Web security solutions to businesses of all sizes without the need for software or hardware. Their concept of in-the-cloud security solutions was ahead of the curve, providing a lucrative business that has more than doubled each year.

Regional finalists will be honored at a gala event on Thursday, June 11, 2009 at the Omni ChampionsGate in Orlando, Florida.

Posted by admin as AppRiver, Press Releases
SAGE Computer Associates Wins Business Solutions Magazine’s 2009 Channel Innovator Award
Using AppRiver’s SaaS Security Solutions, SAGE Recognized for Network Security Deployment and Management Excellence

SAGE Computer Associates was selected for its noteworthy use of AppRiver’s hosted Exchange e-mail service with SecureTide™ spam and virus protection for an implementation at a medical center that needed an e-mail system with secure mobile communication.
“Customers in heavily regulated industries like healthcare need the assurance that their e-mail communications will be reliable and secure, particularly on mobile devices, especially when sensitive patient data is involved,” said Jeff Cohn president and CEO of SAGE Computer Associates. “AppRiver technology has been essential in helping SAGE Computer Associates provide our customers with a manageable, secure, hosted e-mail system. Spam is no longer a source of daily annoyance, while comprehensive e-mail backup has prevented critical data loss. We look forward to continued success with AppRiver as we ensure that our customers are well equipped with comprehensive, yet cost-effective messaging solutions.”
Business Solutions created the Channel Innovator Award to recognize solutions providers that have made significant contributions to the technology and business success of their customers with IT hardware, software and services. Channel Innovators are selected based on their creativity and success when solving the complex technological issues of their customers. The complete list of winners is featured in the “Annual Guide to VAR Programs” in the May 2009 issue of Business Solutions magazine.
SAGE was selected as this year’s Network Security award recipient for its ability to quickly and thoroughly implement AppRiver’s secure hosted Exchange technology at a cancer treatment facility. The doctors and other care providers rely on computers for electronic medical records, communication and research, and must be able to get e-mails no matter where they are—at the office, in one of several hospitals or anywhere in between. Using the AppRiver solution, they have a centralized, secure e-mail system with the ability to automatically synchronize e-mail, appointments, contacts and tasks on a mobile device.
“SAGE Computer Associates is a highly valued AppRiver partner, known for going above the norm to provide successful technology implementations, and we congratulate them for this prestigious recognition by Business Solutions for installation of Exchange hosting with SecureTide,” said Brian Haynes, director of channel sales, AppRiver. “Value added resellers are a crucial part of AppRiver’s business, and we strive to continue to provide key partners like SAGE Computer Associates with the necessary resources—such as our leading mobile device synchronization technology for e-mail—to meet their customers’ most pressing e-mail and Web protection needs.”

APPRIVER RELEASES 2008 YEAR-END SPAM REPORT; PRESENTS 2009 FORECASTS
Posted by admin as AppRiver, Press Releases
2009 to See More Malware, Especially on Virtualization Platforms and Mobile Devices; Social Networks Also to be Increasingly Exploited
GULF BREEZE, FL—January 14, 2009—AppRiver LLC, a leading provider of secure e-mail messaging solutions, today announced the publication of its year-end spam report, State of Security 2008, and the Threat and Spamscape Forecast for 2009. The reports highlight spam and security trends as seen in 2008, as well as key predictions for 2009.
According to report author, AppRiver Senior Security Analyst Fred Touchette, 2008 threats focused on duping unaware and uninformed e-mail and Internet users. The most common incidents involved exploitation of either current events, such as phishing schemes attached to oil prices, or malware misrepresenting well-known entities such as McDonald’s or MSNBC.com.
Phishing was one of the most frequently used attack methods this past year. The 2008 report breaks down last year’s phishing attacks into categories, which include a few of the following campaigns:
• Claim to be a subpoena from a governmental body like the U.S. Tax Court or the IRS that would eventually turn out to be keylogging schemes to steal information,
• Pose as a Google AdWord account update designed to illegally obtain account data, and
• Use the classic bank ploy of targeting customers of notable organizations like BanCorp and Wells Fargo.
In 2009, Touchette believes that the trend of Web-based malware will continue to increase, and that there will be more malware devised to attack virtualization platforms such as Windows Virtual PC and VMWare. Mobile malware is also expected to grow because of the Apple iPhone’s rising popularity and Google Android’s open source platform. Finally, it is likely that attacks on job search and social networking sites, such as LinkedIn and Monster, will continue to rise as job hunters search for employment on the Internet.
