Joint Offering Addresses E-mail Threat Protection, Compliance, Archiving

PALO ALTO , Calif. and RUTHERFORD, N.J. – February 13, 2005 – MailFrontier™, the leader in e-mail security, and AXS-One Inc.(AMEX: AXO), a leading provider of high-performance records compliance management software solutions, today announced a partnership to offer an integrated policy-based e-mail security and archiving solution. The solution has been optimized for organizations facing evolving privacy and regulatory compliance issues, rising costs of storage and e-mail infrastructure and growing problems associated with risk and legal discovery. With the joint offering from MailFrontier and AXS-One, organizations can ensure that archived electronic communication does not contain content that can threaten an organization's security or brand equity, including spam and viruses.

Under the terms of the agreement, MailFrontier and AXS-One have entered into a co-selling agreement, enabling them jointly to pursue this rapidly expanding market by combining their unique capabilities. Organizations running MailFrontier Gateway are able to identify sensitive content that violates a rule or regulation and specify an appropriate action, as well as monitor and report on compliance violations. This is a critical benefit for companies working under numerous regulations including HIPAA, GLBA and Sarbanes-Oxley, as well as enterprises wanting to protect their Intellectual Property. AXS-One's Compliance Platform™, meanwhile, is the high-performance leader in enabling organizations to manage growing volumes of disparate electronic records, including e-mail and instant messages, from initial capture and indexing through archiving, retention, search and ultimate destruction. This helps address corporate governance, legal discovery and regulatory compliance while enhancing operational efficiency.  

“In this regulated environment, every enterprise needs to ensure high-quality e-mail archiving as part of a broad records compliance management infrastructure,” said Bill Lyons, CEO of AXS-One. “By partnering with MailFrontier, we can offer a comprehensive e-mail archiving strategy that effectively ensures all the content retained is safe and adheres to company policy. We believe this partnership will give both companies access to new markets.”

“Once an e-mail message is identified as being applicable to a rule or regulation, IT administrators need a centralized point where a variety of actions can be taken, including blocking, reviewing, encrypting or archiving the e-mail,” said Anne Bonaparte, president & CEO, MailFrontier. “Our partnership with AXS-One makes it very easy for businesses to seamlessly integrate AXS-One's superior archiving capabilities without the added cost and time constraint of archiving unwanted e-mail.”
