F-Secure today announced the addition of F-Secure ® Service
Platform for Gateways to its service portfolio for global
availability. The solution helps service partners to protect their
services and customers’ infrastructures at the network level. The
F-Secure ® Service Platform for Gateways includes a range of
technologies combined with services designed for service partners
including all relevant components for network based content
security against viruses, malicious code and spam. The solution
includes the advanced F-Secure Messaging Security Gateway and
F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper technologies combined with additional
components to complete the comprehensive needs of any service
provider in the gateway, hosting and managed services segment.
For service partners, the solution allows for immediate time
to market without the risk of large capital investment. Added to
this, a flexible licensing model means that the service can be
built alongside existing services and offered to the customer base
without committing to a definite volume of users. F-Secure® Service
Platform for Gateways supports several operational models applied
by different types of service providers varying from email
filtering for viruses and other malicious code for inbound and
outbound traffic to managed or hosted services for both
customer-dedicated or shared infrastructures.
Speaking about the solution, Jimmy Ruokolainen, Business
Development Manager at F-Secure, said: Due to a rapid increase in
our partner segment in delivering such targeted services as a part

providers security needs and business models. F-Secure®
Service Platform for Gateways gives service providers the
