Launched today as a significant enhancement to the EnvoyXpress one-to-many business-critical messaging service, EnvoyProfiles is the industry's first messaging solution to meet the needs of both the sender and the recipient by enabling recipients to control when, where and how they receive messages and senders the ability to set pre-defined events that trigger notification. (See press release: EnvoyWorldWide Extends Market Leading Position with the Launch of EnvoyProfiles). EnvoyProfiles will power F-Secure's new branded service, F-Secure Radar, which offers customers a subscription fee-based security alert service. Through EnvoyProfiles, F-Secure Radar customers can manage their own service profiles from any Web browser, selecting the security events for which they want to be notified and matching each event with their preferred wireless or wired communications method - phone, fax, email, pager, SMS or other wireless device. Messages are delivered through the powerful MessageBlaster engine; yet retain the F-Secure brand identity, an important differentiation given the accountability companies demand related to security. "Security breaches can occur at any time of the day or night, and can spread amazingly fast, costing businesses lots of money, damage and heartache. When a potentially devastating virus, Denial of Service attack or other security breach occurs, we need to quickly notify customers and partners of the breach and solution," said Tanya Candia, Vice President of Marketing at F-Secure. "The power of EnvoyProfiles is its ability to allow our customers to control how they are contacted for any security breach, ensuring that we are able to instantly deliver vital security information to them. At the same time, EnvoyWorldWide's unmatched customer empowered capabilities and hosted solution allows us to eliminate overhead involved in maintaining alert contact information or in-house software and instead focus on our core competency -- security." F-Secure previously distributed security fixes and alerts to customers via its F-Secure BackWeb console residing on customer machines. The new F-Secure Radar solution will extend its current security alerting capabilities to include all wireless and wired device notification, enabling systems administrators to now be reached anywhere even when they are not at their desks. Implementing the EnvoyProfiles service was easy. F-Secure worked with EnvoyWorldWide's Professional Services group to classify security related events. Via their own password-protected preference Web page, each F-Secure customer can update their profile subscribing to specific security event notifications - such as Level 1 or Level 2 viruses - and providing specific contact information and preferences for each event. When a specific security event occurs, EnvoyProfiles sends a customized notification message to all subscribed users via the contact methods specified by each user. "We found that our customers wanted to be contacted in different ways depending on the severity of the security breach," continued Tanya Candia. "For a level 1 virus, systems administrators may want to be notified via cell phone, whereas via email for a less intrusive virus. EnvoyWorldWide is the only solution to provide this unique capability." EnvoyProfiles complements EnvoyWorldWide's suite of messaging services consisting of EnvoyXpress, the one-to-many messaging service based on the MessageBlaster engine, and EnvoyXtend, which provides unmatched customization and integration features, including a flexible XML-based API. EnvoyProfiles is currently available and customizable for every business to reflect relevant business-events, branded user interfaces, as well as customized phone flows, fax and email templates.
