Grand County Internet Services to Deploy Aladdin eSafe SecureSurfing Solution to
Protect Local Business and Residential ISP Customers
eSafe SecureSurfing to greatly reduce spyware infections among GCIS customers while
also decreasing ISP support calls
-
CHICAGO, December 29, 2006 - Aladdin Knowledge
Systems Ltd.(NASDAQ: ALDN) the leader in Software DRM, strong authentication
and content security solutions, today announced that Grand County Internet Services
(GCIS), the local ISP for Grand County, Colorado, will implement the Aladdin eSafe
SecureSurfing™ solution next month.
-
Instead of maintaining desktop-based software that fights spyware gained through
Web browsing, ISP customers can depend on GCIS to offer a centralized, value-added
security service that inspects and filters Web traffic before it reaches the surfer.
Providing both businesses and residential GCIS customers with "clean pipe" Internet
access, eSafe SecureSurfing stands as the first-ever technology designed for ISP-managed
security services. eSafe SecureSurfing helps ISPs dramatically reduce support calls
spawned by spyware infections, while also greatly minimizing any frustrations on
the ISP customer.
-
"Our customers are going to quickly see that Aladdin's eSafe SecureSurfing solution
is a welcomed new security service that will set GCIS apart from other ISPs," said
Eden Recor, President of Grand Lake, Colorado-based GCIS. "We've continued to see
a huge rise in support calls from our customers affected by the ever-growing amount
a spyware on the Web. Using Aladdin's new solution for ISPs, we will be able to
significantly lower infections among our customers and decrease the number of support
calls to our office. We looked at several different options and selected eSafe SecureSurfing
because of its unique, centralized approach, quick implementation and ease of use.
Now we won't need to hire someone specifically to service support calls for spyware
and other malware our customers gain via the Web."
-
"By reducing spyware-related support calls, eSafe SecureSurfing can drastically
impact an ISPs bottom line while also improving their customers' overall Web browsing
experience," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies for the Aladdin
eSafe Business Unit. "The clean Internet pipe' technology offered by eSafe SecureSurfing
helps ISPs, both large and small, by arming them with a security tool that customers
are going to appreciate and value as a unique, noticeable service - a service specifically
designed to require no management by the end user. Grand County Internet Service
is the latest example of ISPs that see the unmatched value in Aladdin's security
technology for ISPs."
