Webroot: Influential Anti-Piracy Federation Chooses Webroot To Secure emails For Its Users Fast

Bracknell, UK., May 11, 2010 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Webroot, a leading security provider for the consumer, enterprise and SME markets, today announced that the Federation Against Software Theft (FAST), set up to champion the professional management of legitimate software, has chosen Webroot(r) Email Security Service to protect its core staff serving FAST members.

John Lovelock, Chief Executive, FAST, said "The Webroot Email Security Service brings us greater protection, simplified management, and keeps our infrastructure totally free from spam and malware. We see Internet protection as an increasingly key part of businesses compliance, in conjunction with Software Asset Management which incorporates a set of proven processes and procedures for managing and optimising IT assets. The Webroot solution allows us to conform to necessary usage policies and to meet best practices within the security sector. We were previously using an in-house email filtering solution that was woefully inadequate, but thankfully, Webroot has taken away the pain associated with the threat of malware." Webroot is an active member of the FAST IT Security Group which aims to educate organisations in how to provide a secure and efficient environment for the workplace. Members of the ITSG embrace all aspects of security in the IT environment and provide advice and guidance on current and emerging threats and solutions. The group holds free workshops and seminars throughout the year. Dates and venues are announced at www.fastiis.org.

FAST has also formed the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF), an industry association established to promote trust and work with industry leaders to develop standards and certifications for enterprises offering cloud computing services. Ian Moyse, EMEA Channel Director, Webroot, partakes in CIF's regular discussions and debates.

"We are privileged to be chosen by one of the country's most respected influencers in the professional management of legitimate software, "said Moyse. "FAST is committed to communicating and demonstrating best practice, and so, their adoption of Webroot Email Security Service is further evidence that Webroot is fast becoming the vendor of choice for those committed to achieving excellence." Webroot is offering a free trial of Webroot Email Security Service, Webroot(r) Web Security Service and Email Archiving Services to FAST members.
