Sendio Receives $4 Million in Funding From KH Growth Equity Fund

Anti-Spam Pioneer Makes Email Security Fast and Easy so Businesses can Protect the Integrity of Their Messaging Networks

IRVINE, Calif. - February 20, 2007 - Sendio (sendio.com), an enterprise email security company enabling businesses of any size to block all forms of unwanted email, viruses, phishing and botnet attacks through a Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) system, today announced that it has completed a $4 million round of private equity funding from KH Growth Equity Fund. Sendio has developed the award-winning I.C.E. Box service appliance that enables enterprises to easily deploy and manage an integrated suite of premise-based and hosted services across the Internet to update, monitor and manage their email messaging security. This $4 million investment will be used to accelerate the company’s growth, enhance product development, and expand sales and marketing efforts.

“With the rapid increase in spam, and the limitless opportunities for exploitation inherent in the Internet and SMTP mail servers, Sendio is set to become an essential solution to solving this problem once and for all,” says Kelly Anderson, CEO of Sendio. “We are very pleased by the support of KH Growth Equity Fund. Since we released the I.C.E Box 3.0 in 2006, we have already built a loyal user base of more than 150 businesses across several vertical industries with positive endorsement from customers, and we were recently named as Product of the Year by Government Computing News.”

Prior to Sendio, it was not easy for businesses to secure their email systems. The burden was on IT managers to spend hours of their valuable time adjusting filtering appliances and cleaning up quarantined emails - many of which were legitimate messages. Sendio enables a surefire approach to blocking unwanted email which is fast to deploy, easy to use and requires no administrative burden to the IT organization.

“We are very excited to be involved with Sendio at a time when businesses are poised to benefit from the Sendio messaging security solution,” according to Klaus Koch, Managing Partner with KH Growth Equity Fund. “The demand for next-generation email security continues to grow exponentially. We have already seen the solution in action with key customers, and Sendio is pioneering the next wave to become the premier messaging integrity solution on the market.”
