| Victoria Police sign three year outsourced security deal
Australian managed service provider, the Ethan Group, has won a three year contract with Victoria Police to provide secure Web gateway and e-mail filtering for the organisation's 14,000 employees. Police use e-mail security appliances from IronPort, a company that was acquired by Cisco earlier this year for US$830 million. Ethan will work with Ironport to provide a fully redundant architecture for Victoria Police with protection from external sources of viruses, spam, phishing, spyware and other forms of malicious content. Ethan Group's team of engineers will customise the gateway, which will be monitored, managed and supported through the CA Unicenter based Network Operations Centre (NOC) for 24x7 availability. The deal will supply the police with malicious e-mail filtering, business continuity, reporting, auditing, incident management and staff training.
Using new filter, ITS is catching 200,000 spam e-mails a day
If there have been fewer junk e-mails about genital enlargements and paid Caribbean vacations to delete from Yale mail inboxes lately, students probably have Information Technology Services to thank for the relief. In response to the worldwide surge in spam in recent months — a trend propelled by the increase in “computer bots" controlled by spammers — ITS installed additional software in its e-mail spam-filtering system early last month that is dramatically curbing the influx of unwanted mail, ITS representatives announced this week. The software, called Cloudmark Authority, has increased the number of spam e-mails ITS' spam-filtering system detects by 103 percent, John Coleman, Yale's e-mail-systems administrator, said. With the new plug-in, the system now catches 200,000 spam e-mails per day, up from between 50,000 to 100,000 messages, he said.
