Company Founders

Start small. Think big. And make it happen.

Why would anyone enter a market that was already filled with competitors? According to one of Red Condor’s founders Jeff Aguilera in a recent article by ISP Planet, there was an opportunity they couldn’t resist – and it revolved around the ineffectiveness of the existing solutions.

Typical first generation anti-spam filters do nothing to protect the email server and thereby increase the load on the server. Second generation filters require filter tuning, are on a single platform (hosted or appliance) and are slow to respond to new attacks.

The three Red Condor founders, Jeff, Dave, and Brien, were looking for a better, more future proof method to stop spam. One that would incorporate the deepest and most extensive filter process on the market with the greatest, widest rule deployment model. Critical to the method is Red Condor’s Security Operation Center with email security experts.
