Galway, Ireland, Copperfasten, a leading Irish developer of security products, today announced it has agreed a distribution partnership with Avosec in the UK. .

Ronan Kavanagh, Sales Manager for Copperfasten UK and Ireland, said of the choice of Avosec "We met with Avosec and were immediately impressed with their background, technical know how and future development plans. Our Mail Firewall Appliance fits with both their current portfolio of products and resellers, therefore we see great potential in this partnership."

Copperfastens Mail Firewall Appliance has a number of key advantages over its competitors largely due to the approach it takes in dealing with Spam and viruses. Unlike many other products in this space the Mail Firewall Appliance focuses not only on the identification of Spam and Viruses but as importantly on how the issues are managed within organisations right through from the installation process to end user requirements. It is a preconfigured plug and play hardware solution, there is no client intervention required, and there is an emphasis on providing end users with the tools to manage spam themselves. Functionality such as end user digests and quarantine release, automated reporting and individual rule configuration allow the user to control email rather that having to continually resort to an organisations IT department for assistance.

James Norris, Managing Director of Avosec said in choosing to partner with Copperfasten "We were looking for a robust cost effective Mail Firewall Appliance to add to our portfolio, we are happy to have made an excellent choice in Partnering with Copperfasten. We can see how we complement CopperFasten in delivering there solution to the UK market with a cost effective feature rich Mail Firewall solution."

The Mail Firewall Appliance has been widely deployed across the UK in Government, Health, Education and private sector customers. According to Kavanagh, "We are really looking forward to developing our reseller channel in the UK and showing customers why Copperfasten should be their product of choice for email protection."
