An advance peek at Project Ninja

(TM)

A while back, I blogged on a major new project we’ve been working on for a long time at Sunbelt, code-named “Ninja”.

Well, the code name stuck and is going to be the actual product name — Sunbelt Messaging Ninja. We’re releasing it in a few weeks.

We’re going to be showing the product at Microsoft Tech.Ed next week, but I figured I’d give you an advance look at some screen shots.

Ok, so I know I’m not really supposed to hype stuff on our corporate blog, but this product is just a beauty. Dual-engine AV protection, dual-engine antispam protection, attachment filtering. An elegant plug-in architecture.

And (to my knowledge), the world’s first policy based enterprise messaging security product.

If you want an understanding of what this means, take a look at this picture:

Each user is getting their own policy, for antispam, or antivirus.

You can see screen shots of Ninja here. Note that this is pre-release stuff, so not everything is all perfect. But you get a good idea looking at the screens what we’re doing.

Also, here is a preliminary datasheet.
