http://www.dmnews.com/epsilon-beefs-up-email-security-92-days-after-data-breach/article/206307/ By Juan Martinez Direct Marketing News June 29, 2011 Marketing services firm Epsilon has added new security enhancements to its email marketing platform in collaboration with Verizon Business, Epsilon president and CEO Bryan Kennedy told Direct Marketing News on June 28. The new features include enhanced protection for Epsilon's information technology (IT) infrastructure and the ability to track malicious IP addresses. “Epsilon has always taken security seriously and consistently surpassed established industry standards and requirements,” Kennedy said in an email. “This partnership demonstrates our ongoing commitment to protect our clients and their customers from cyber attacks.” Epsilon said it will also launch access restrictions through its IP certification requirements in the third quarter that will allow only white-listed IP addresses access to Epsilon's email platform. “Certifying or white-listing IP addresses means that we require clients to register physical points of access to the platform in advance of their ability to utilize the platform from those locations,” Kennedy explained. “While this is a trade-off in the kind of flexibility clients have requested in the past, we believe it is a logical approach that enhances security, and clients understand that.” [...] ___________________________________________________________ Tegatai Managed Colocation: Four Provider Blended Tier-1 Bandwidth, Fortinet Universal Threat Management, Natural Disaster Avoidance, Always-On Power Delivery Network, Cisco Switches, SAS 70 Type II Datacenter.
