Renault announces new partnership with Clearswift.

The Mild Seven Renault F1 Team has today announced a new partnership with Clearswift, the world's leading provider of software for managing and securing email.

The team will install ES ClearEdge and ES ClearPoint PMI in Summer 2003 to enforce e-policy management for inbound and outbound email communications.

"The Renault F1 Team operates in an environment where confidentiality and protection of copyrights are absolutely paramount. The team's success is heavily dependent on technological advancement and using the best available technology to help us in that quest. Clearswift ES is best of breed software and will provide the team with the protection they need", said Graeme Hackland, IT Manager, Renault F1 Team.

"We operate in a sector which gets tremendous media attention," Hackland added. "It is also a sector where sensitive information is handled throughout our departments. As a result, we need to protect ourselves and our employees, in those areas of communication that could be potentially vulnerable to malicious attacks. ES will help to protect our operations in France and in the UK against this by filtering and monitoring the content of all email communications going into and out of the Renault F1 Team."
