MX Logic Added to HydroGeoLogic's (HGL) GSA IT Schedule

MX Logic, a provider of advanced email protection and security services including spam and virus filtering, today announced that MX Logic's services will be available to federal, state and local government agencies through the General Services Administration (GSA) IT schedule of HydroGeoLogic, Inc. (HGL), a technology and environmental engineering firm. Under this agreement, HGL will offer MX Logic's premier email protection and security services to all government agencies.

"Government agencies are highly concerned with fighting the deluge of spam, while protecting their network from viruses and other costly email threats," said Patrick Huber, director of technology for HGL Technologies, the IT division of HydroGeoLogic. "After conducting extensive market research on email protection services for our own email system, we became an MX Logic customer. We quickly realized MX Logic provides the most effective service for blocking spam and other email threats. Because of the exceptional experience we have had with this service, we've added MX Logic to our GSA IT schedule. Through this partnership, our customers can receive the industry's most advanced spam defense and email protection."

MX Logic's Email Defense Service safeguards enterprises, service providers and government organizations from spam, viruses, worms, malicious content, and other harmful email threats. By providing around-the-clock email protection, MX Logic automatically intercepts, analyzes and blocks malicious and unsolicited messages at the network perimeter--before they can enter the internal network.

GSA schedules provide a streamlined and cost-effective method for federal, state and local agencies to purchase a variety of IT products and services. Government agencies can purchase directly from GSA schedule holders using simplified negotiation and acquisition procedures. Because MX Logic's service has been added to HGL's GSA IT schedule, it can be quickly, easily and cost-effectively procured by government organizations.

"HGL has extensive experience in providing government agencies with solutions that increase productivity, while reducing costs and external threats," said Scott Chasin, chief technology officer and co-founder, MX Logic. "We are pleased to partner with an experienced and established government reseller, and look forward to providing their customers with our Email Defense Service."

MX Logic's comprehensive service provides highly accurate spam detection, filtering up to 98.5 percent of spam with an industry-leading low false positive rate (legitimate email marked as spam). MX Logic's Stacked Classification Framework(SM), its patent-pending multi-layered spam detection system, leverages a combination of unique methods and "voting" analysis to identify unwanted content. The aggregation of these different techniques enables MX Logic to take advantage of each spam filter's strengths to provide highly effective spam detection.

MX Logic's Control Console provides a centralized policy and reporting platform that enables customers to automatically implement and enforce their corporate email rules and gives them one interface for managing and reporting on all email traffic. As part of this process, customers can determine their quarantine management requirements, including whether their IT department or their end-users, or both, manage the quarantined email. If the customer opts for end-user management, MX Logic sends a "Spam Quarantine Report" to the end-users' email inbox. Via this email report, the end-user can simply and quickly delete, forward, whitelist and/or blacklist their quarantined email.
