Tumbleweed Communications has announced its new MailGate Appliance 3650, for the Small Medium Enterprise (SME) sector across the Asia-Pacific region.

"Security threats in messaging are more prevalent now than ever, thus, it is important to offer our customers reliable messaging security solutions to address their everyday needs. Leveraging our proven track record in empowering enterprises and government customers, we incorporated powerful patented security technology into our MailGate Appliance 3650 which benefits SMEs, especially in areas of data leakage protection," Stree Naidu, regional VP - Asia Pacific and Japan at Tumbleweed.

Built on a hardened Linux appliance, MailGate Appliance claims to reduce the complexity associated with protecting sensitive data with a user interface that filters content such as credit card and CUSIP with a check box.
