Our History…
The GWAVA reputation for excellence is a reflection of our solid foundation. Shortly after 9/11 our world changed and security was thrust to the forefront. This prompted co-founders Charles Taite and Marc St-Arnaud to establish Beginfinite Inc. on the premise of ensuring the security and stability of government, education, healthcare and financial institutions running Novell GroupWise. The company’s flagship product GWAVA, an acronym that stands for GroupWise Anti Virus Agent quickly eclipsed the company name and in 2004 Beginfinite became GWAVA, Inc. The GWAVA product is a proprietary agent built within the core infrastructure of Novell GroupWise and is the only product that protects the messaging infrastructure from within the Post Office Agent, the GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA), the Web Access Gateway and the SMTP Gateway. No other security solution can protect an infrastructure like GWAVA. The GWAVA product was created by Josh Gibbs and Michael Bell in early 2001.

Our Future…
Today, the vision that Charles Taite and Marc St-Arnaud established has grown into leading edge multi-platform solutions that span Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Gmail, and Novell Groupwise, to name just a few. GWAVA is trusted and implemented in thousands of government, education, healthcare and financial institutions in 60 countries, with millions of users. GWAVA has continued to expand its product line to include fourteen different best-of-class messaging security and unified archiving solutions.

GWAVA is the global software company that delivers highly effective on-premise and cloud-based solutions that protect vital email systems from viruses and spam. And, as social media applications become more pervasive in the workplace, GWAVA leads out in monitoring social media usage enterprise-wide. GWAVA has offices and employees in Europe, The Americas, and Asia Pac and is led by CEO Ken Muir, a 20+ year influencer and executive in the messaging security and archiving industry.

GWAVA solutions include:
Email Messaging Security. GWAVA has engineered antivirus and anti-spam protection specifically for maximum protection of today’s vast and complex email systems and servers. A measure of the power of GWAVA comes from its swift ability to stop illicit and pornographic images using Image Analyzer. Furthermore, GWAVA protects the SMTP from DOS and DDOS attack—all this while securing company networks with web traffic and content filtering. GWAVA integrates with compatible ICAP systems to monitor, filter and block incoming and outgoing traffic. This keeps organizations safe from malicious, inappropriate or time-sucking content and websites. And these features deploy as seamlessly in SMBs as they do in the world’s largest and most security-intensive environments.

Unified Archiving: Archiving Across Mixed and Multiple Platforms Environments. Platforms such as Microsoft Exchange, Novell GroupWise, Office 365, live@edu, and Gmail pose unique challenges when it comes to successfully managing an integrated system. GWAVA Retain provides top-notch performance in companies that run multiple email applications (e.g., a combination of GroupWise and Exchange); Retain executes with precision in these mixed-platform environments. This is why we use the word ‘unified’ when describing the way in which system administrators effectively manage separate systems with GWAVA Retain. Administrators archive from one console, using one login, all using proven GWAVA technologies.

Social Media and Mobile Archiving
In today’s ultra-connected world employees, at dramatic rates, are tapping into social media while at work, or via company-owned devices. Employee access to Facebook, Twitter and other internet applications demand leading-edge solutions which assure that company assets and data are kept airtight and secure. GWAVA Retain is the best-of-breed solution for managing employee social media usage on corporate devices, whether that device is in the office or off the network. And when it comes to mobile, Retain provides peace of mind for organizations with corporate or BYOD smartphone users and admins by safeguarding against security breaches with powerful archiving, searching and eDiscovery of text messages (MMS, SMS, BBM), instant messages, and phone logs. Archived social media content, along with email archive, can be accessed from one central databasing. This unified archive allows for quick and easy access and eDiscovery of all archived data from console.
