| Critical Path Teams with Cloudmark Critical Path, Inc. and Cloudmark Inc. have announced a partnership to provide ISPs, wireless carriers and other service providers with advanced protection against messaging threats, such as spam and phishing, as well as a first line of defense against viruses. Through the partnership, Cloudmark Authority software is being integrated with Critical Path's Memova Anti-Abuse technology to bring a powerful new solution to market. The new Memova Anti-Abuse C-2000 is a turnkey appliance that significantly reduces abuse-related costs, detecting and stopping messaging threats with industry-low false-positive rates – regardless of the message's language or format. Consumer risks are on the rise with the growing prevalence of spam and phishing attacks – fraudulent messages that contain requests for personal data that are often difficult to distinguish from legitimate email. In addition, according to industry experts, global spam and phishing attacks cost an estimated US $50 billion in increased resource requirements and higher customer service complaints in 2005, leaving service providers in search of superior and more cost-effective ways to protect their subscribers. Building upon the success of Memova Anti-Abuse A-1000, Critical Path's introductory anti-abuse appliance launched in February 2005 and already deployed by more than 16 service providers, the new Memova Anti-Abuse C-2000 helps control escalating costs with a combination of Memova and Cloudmark technology. The appliance uses proprietary traffic management, throttling and tarpitting techniques, as well as SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and other mechanisms, to stop more than 75 percent of abusive traffic at the gateway. By integrating Cloudmark Authority, a carrier-grade gateway solution widely deployed in service provider networks around the world, the Memova Anti-Abuse C-2000 has real-time data feeds from the Cloudmark Collaborative Security Network, providing zero–hour/real-time protection against spam, phishing and virus threats. Additionally, the Cloudmark Network Classifier, unique fingerprinting algorithm technology, and a trust-based reporting system combine to deliver a predictive solution that offers increased accuracy and reduced false positives, regardless of email language or format. The new Memova Anti-Abuse C-2000 appliance, with integrated Cloudmark Authority technology, is available now. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
