ColdSpark has inked an original equipment manufacturer agreement with Kaspersky to deliver integrated anti-virus protection for its secure email communication product.
The firm, which is owned by BakBone Software, will integrate the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Engine with ColdSpark's own SparkEngine technology.
The SparkEngine mail transport platform enabled customers "to enhance the power of their email to drive revenue, build customer relationships and improve business efficiency while ensuring security, compliance and performance", the company's general manager Scott Brown said.
"Extending Kaspersky's anti-virus technology to our customers will provide large enterprises with automated anti-virus protection to close any potential windows of vulnerability," Brown said.
"We feel that the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Engine is a strong fit with our SparkEngine technology based on its high level of protection, performance, manageability and simplicity."
Kaspersky was chosen in part because it provided "the quickest release of emergency updates during virus outbreaks [and] the industry's most comprehensive comparisons of response times."
