Sophisticated
Spam Detection
Spam is fast becoming the number-one IT pain point for enterprises worldwide.
Today, between 45% and 50% of email is spam, and Radicati Group expects this
to reach 70% by 2007.
This
deluge of unwanted mail results in drained IT personnel resources,
decreased network bandwidth and email storage space, reduced employee
productivity, increased legal risk and costly network downtime.
In all, Ferris Research estimates that spam could cost businesses
$10 billion.
Developed
for high-volume messaging environments, MX Logic's Email Defense
Service provides the most comprehensive and effective spam-blocking
product on the market today.
Multi-Layered
Spam Filtering
Unlike most spam filtering solutions, which use one or two spam-classification
techniques, MX Logic's Stacked Classification Framework(SM) aggregates the
most effective spam filters and techniques in the industry, currently leveraging
the strengths of five spam-fighting filters including:
- Bayesian
Statistical Analysis
- Heuristics
Rules-Based Analysis
- Distributed
Checksum Matching
- Distributed
Deny Lists and Global Deny Lists
- Customer-Defined
Deny and Allow Lists
Each
of the five filters dynamically calculates the spam probability
of every message. Through an aggregation and analysis of these
spam-likelihood scores, our patent-pending, multi-layered spam
detection system provides extremely effective blocking of spam.
Innovative
Tools for Added Protection
To further protect against spam and other email
threats, MX Logic provides sophisticated tools such as ClickProtect(SM),
an industry-first from MX Logic, that offers additional insight into end users'
email and Web behavior, and warns users before they link to suspect Web sites
further increasing corporate control and security. ClickProtect allows companies
to monitor if end users are clicking on Web sites that would have negative
consequences, such as adding the user to spammer distribution lists or installing
spyware on the user's computer, which can expose messaging infrastructure to
hackers and users to continuous attacks.
Customized
Content and Attachment Control
Unwanted
and malicious content—whether within the text of an email
or as an attachment—represents one of the greatest dangers
of using email as a business tool.
Email
messages can convey racially insensitive material, offensive jokes,
company-sensitive information and other types of inappropriate
content. This problem has become so widespread that at least 50%
of employees have received racist, sexist, pornographic or other
inappropriate email while at work, according to USA Today.
Attachments can be even more threatening. Pornographic image and video files,
Trojan horses and other unwanted attachments can reduce employee productivity
and expose your organization to legal liability. Additionally, large attachments
can devour bandwidth, significantly delaying email traffic.
Companies
risk massive liability as a result of inappropriate email content
and attachments. Recently, Chevron paid $2.2 million to employees
who were exposed to offensive emails sent by co-workers.
MX
Logic’s Email Defense Service protects your organization
and reduces liability and risk by automatically identifying,
quarantining and blocking unwanted and malicious content and attachments
before they enter your network. This is accomplished through
the MX Control ConsoleSM, our centralized policy configuration
and reporting platform that enables you to implement and enforce
corporate email policy and view organization-wide email traffic.
You simply configure the MX Control Console to filter content and
attachments and to take specified action in response to each policy
violation.
HTML
Shield
The
Attachment and Content Filtering feature detects and removes malicious
HTML tags, scripting objects, and web bugs or spam beacons embedded
in email messages that can reveal end-user activity to junk email
providers while flagging the recipients address as active. With
multiple levels of HTML policy control, administrators can customize
the level of desired protection.
