We are pleased to announce that WASP version 2 OPEN BETA from GWAVA is now available at http://www.gwava.com/products/wasp.html to everyone for beta testing! WebAccess Server Protection is GWAVA's virus filtering software for GroupWise WebAccess.

This latest version of WASP will now run on NetWare / OES and Linux. It also runs on Windows in "remote mode." To use this feature, GroupWise WebAccess must be running on a separate Windows Server (IIS or Apache). The GroupWise POA still needs to be running on NetWare or Linux.

WASP2 offers several new key features:

. New management interface

. Multiple anti-virus engine support (same as GWAVA 4)

. Fingerprinting

. Oversize attachment blocking

. Exceptions and filtering

. Support for NetWare/ OES, Linux and Windows (remote mode)

. No additional hardware

. Integration with Redline

If you are interested in trying out this latest version of WASP, go to http://www.gwava.com/products/wasp.html, click on the link, fill out the form and download the code. Once this form is filled out you will receive a fully functional demo license file which is good for 30 days. In this "Open Beta Release" you can obtain support for WASP2 in the same fashion as you are used to with all other GWAVA products.

We are excited about the next release of WASP and sure you will be too once you see it and try the new features! Also, don't forget to visit the "GWAVA Forums" to get all the updated information about WASP2 and all other GWAVA products.

Please note, If you are a current user of WASP version 1, you must first uninstall your previous version before you can install WASP2. Also note that during the beta you will be required to download GWAVA4 separately.
