BlackSpider Technologies Signs Secon

Email security services company, BlackSpider Technologies, has signed a partnership agreement with network and Internet security company, Secon, to offer managed email security services to Secons customers.

Secon will offer its customers BlackSpiders award-winning MailControl service, which filters spam, viruses and harmful content, as part of its growing managed security service portfolio. Because BlackSpider MailControl is a managed service, it offers recurring revenue to partners, rather than a one-off fee from an in-house product sale. There is no hardware or software to install at a customers site and no management resource is needed.

Commenting on the partnership, Robert Gupta, General Manger, Secon, said: We researched the market and after considering various options, decided to offer BlackSpiders service, which stands head and shoulders above the competition. Its major benefit is that it uses the best security products on the market as well as using its own heuristic technology. We commit to offering our clients the best solution at a competitive price and BlackSpider MailControl meets this commitment.

Says John Cheney, CEO, BlackSpider Technologies: Our BlackSpider MailControl service is very popular with the channel and we continue to sign new partners. It is a compelling proposition for their customers and offers the most effective protection on the market as was demonstrated by our recent win of security product of the year at this years CNET Awards.
