Under the agreement, NetIQ will include Norman's proactive antivirus solution into a future version of NetIQ's suite of Content Security products, which includes NetIQ MailMarshal™ SMTP, NetIQ MailMarshal for Exchange and NetIQ WebMarshal™. By incorporating Norman Virus Control with NetIQ's suite of Content Security products, customers will be able to guard against viruses and malicious software, along with other unwanted email, from entering their organization at the gateway with an integrated solution.
