New joint venture formed to fight the menace of internet fraud, initially focusing on e-mail validation.
Mountain View, CA and London, UK (PRWEB) July 23, 2008 -- PhatWare Corporation, a leading provider of software products and professional services for mobile and desktop computers, and First Cyber Security Limited, a British internet security technology company, announced today the creation of Heracles Research Corporation - a new joint venture to develop technology to fight internet fraud.
The initial Heracles product will use patented core technology from First Cyber Security under license, which has been developed over the last four years. This unique product, to begin beta testing during the next quarter, will significantly alter how e-mails are perceived, valued, and validated. The first version of the software will come in two versions: client-side for Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later and server-side for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The software will verify all URLs in each received email message and filter emails containing links to fraudulent web sites. In the future, the product will be extended to support other email client and server applications and platforms.
"We are excited to form this new joint venture and deliver a state-of-the-art email security software based on the proven technology developed by First Cyber Security while utilizing PhatWare's expertise in software development for desktop and mobile platforms," said Stanislav Miasnikov, president of PhatWare Corp.
"PhatWare's experience in delivering software products combined with First Cyber Security's innovative technology is the perfect collaboration to deliver a new world class solution," said Rod Pugh, Managing Director of First Cyber Security Limited.
