In the report released this month titled "Technology Audit: Aladdin Knowledge Systems eSafe (version 4)," Aladdin eSafe is called an "all-in-one Secure Content Management (SCM) solution that extends beyond the service range of its main competitors" and a "strong blended protection solution that includes user-definable options."

Butler Group analyst Andy Kellett wrote, "eSafe combines the protection attributes of a traditional anti-virus system with those of a proactive protection solution that is capable of dealing with unknown as well as known attack types without the need for regular signature updates." Specific eSafe benefits highlighted in the report include:

-- Strong content security covering six layers of SCM
-- High throughput performance
-- Ease and flexibility of implementation
-- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)




"The Butler Group audit report serves as strong, independent recognition of Aladdin eSafe's leadership in Secure Content Management," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies for the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "We're extremely pleased with this report, as it not only emphasizes the unmatched proactive eSafe technology, but also details the inadequacies of competing solutions that still rely on reactive technologies to fight the new breed of Internet-borne malware."
