Intermedia Moves Nearly Half a Million McAfee users onto its New Email Protection PlatformMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Intermedia, a leading cloud business applications provider, today announced that it has moved nearly half a million McAfee users onto its enhanced email security platform – Intermedia Email Protection. Now these customers gain not only better email protection, but complete mailbox integration and outstanding reliability and support. Intermedia originally partnered with McAfee because of McAfee's reputation and the perception that Intel was continuing investments into the email security solution. However, when Intel Security abruptly shut down the McAfee SaaS security business to focus on enterprise, Intermedia was left with a difficult decision: enhance its existing email security platform, or find an alternative. "Leveraging 13 years of experience in the email security business, we invested heavily in our R&D team and third-party technologies. Now I am thrilled to say that we have enhanced our broader suite with an excellent, enterprise-grade cloud-based email security solution for SMBs that combines multiple industry-leading email security engines and antivirus solutions into one easy-to-manage and flexible platform. In addition, this high level of integration gives partners greater levels of control and protection over their core services offering, while letting them sell Intermedia Email Protection under their own brand," said Michael Gold, CEO at Intermedia. Company adds new capabilities to Intermedia Email Protection Key new features include:
These enhancements complement Intermedia's comprehensive suite of security and backup solutions, including email continuity, archiving, encryption, Intermedia AppID® identity and access management, SecuriSync® file backup and sharing and Outlook® backup.

Coupling email and security creates new opportunities for the channel Partner quotes "Intermedia combines both a proactive and retroactive approach to security. For example, with Intermedia Email Protection and LinkSafe, our customers are proactively protected from receiving or activating ransomware. With SecuriSync, we can roll back and restore customer files in the event that they do get infected. Intermedia's new features help fortify email as a first line of defense against pervasive threats. It's been a smooth migration process moving over from McAfee, and we're excited to have all of our users on Intermedia's platform," said Dustin Leefers, Senior Infrastructure Engineer at ThrottleNet, Inc.
