MailGate Antispam – Keeping Inboxes Lean and Productive

Spam represents both an enormous administrative nightmare and a costly productivity drain for virtually every enterprise, and IT organizations are under intense pressure from everyone from the CEO on down to do something about it. And for good reason – without robust inbound spam protection, it is estimated that nearly 80% of email received by a business user is spam. Multiply that figure by the number of employees in your organization, and it’s clear that spam is much more than a nuisance — it’s a serious threat to your fiscal well being. And a significant proportion of this email spam includes pornography, offensive, or hate-based content that enterprises cannot allow into the organization without risk of creating a hostile workplace and facing costly litigation.

MailGate’s layered spam filtering effectively blocks more than 99 percent of all inbound spam — with virtually zero false positives — so users don’t have to wade through oceans of unwanted email to get to legitimate business messages. And because MailGate filters and blocks messages at the gateway, it can dramatically reduce the load on corporate email servers, improving network performance and overall enterprise security.

With MailGate Antispam, you can

• Deploy spam protection in 30 minutes or less, and eliminate more than 99% of spam — with a false-positive rate of only 1 in 100,000 – so you’ll never lose a business message.
• Set up filters based on your unique spam definitions.
• Significantly reduce IT overhead and administrative costs with a single anti-spam solution.
• Automatically receive spam definition updates, even every hour if you choose.
• Improve employee productivity by preventing spam from reaching their inboxes.

Cloud-Based Dynamic Antispam Technologies

Spam is a particularly hard problem to solve, because determined spammers are continually inventing new techniques to "outsmart" the latest defenses, making it difficult to even define spam, let alone block it. But Axway’s powerful array of cloud-based dynamic antispam technologies can put you ahead of the game:

• Axway Message Protection Lab: Using a combination of detailed human review and artificial intelligence-enhanced techniques, Axway’s Message Protection Lab analyzes more than 400 million messages every day to identify new spam trends and tactics. Axway experts then quickly create new proactive and reactive measures to combat them, including meticulous content, image, and attachment analysis, and rules-based heuristics. Similarly to the way antivirus engines work, automated updates are published to Axway MailGate Antispam filters as often as every hour, 24x7. And to minimize false positives in a global business environment, the Lab analyzes both spam and legitimate email gathered internationally and provided by enterprise customers.
• IP Reputation Services: Correlates and identifies spam outbreaks across multiple IP addresses, even if they have been recently hijacked and have no existing negative reputation.
• Recurrent Pattern Detection: Because spammers frequently manipulate message content in an attempt to slip by content filters, MailGate also uses Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) technology to analyze real-time outbreak information while ignoring individual message content. MailGate can also apply policies you define based on your unique spam definitions.

Some antispam solutions require time-consuming and management-intensive rules, blacklists, or signatures. MailGate uses intelligent language-based technology to recognize spam like a human reader would, intercept it at the gateway, and prevent it from entering the network and impacting email servers.
