Network Box Begins Beta Testing Distinctive, Innovative New …

Typically, when you approach 98 percent
accuracy, you start having an annoying amount of false positives, and
this is not happening with our new technology. ”
The innovative Network Box approach will offer customers significant
improvements over any existing spam detection technology by not just
analyzing the content and IP addresses, but also learning from user
email behavior and relationships to better understand which emails are
welcome and which are unsolicited spam. Currently, spam protection has been applied using three main methods:
message content analysis; sender’s reputation;
and challenge response, where email senders need to prove to the
recipient who they are. Anti-spam systems today rarely reach more than
95-98 percent accuracy, which — considering
the huge volume of email sent — still lets
through a significant amount of spam, says Stella. The new Network Box technology is based on the relationship management
concept but greatly improves on it by considering not only the sender,
recipient and IP address relationship — as
does the traditional technology. Instead, it analyzes and learns from
the behavior of both the sender and the recipient, and it
constantly learns from users’ behaviors. “Spam is an ever-changing target and not
well-defined,” adds Stella.
Seven Technologies For Advanced Mail Protection
EFYTimes (press release), India
Unfortunately they are depending on last generation solutions from multiple vendors to fight organised cyber criminals,” said Atri Chatterjee, senior vice president, Secure Computing. The survey found that while inbound threats have evolved, only a small portion of organisations are well protected. Sixty per cent of organisations were found to be performing dismally and allowing more than 5 per cent of email spam into the network. Additionally, nearly half of organisations suffered email data leaks, and while most organisations were very concerned about this, only 28 per cent have taken steps to alleviate risk. Finally, the survey discovered that organizations are looking for better ways of delivering email security, and over half of the respondents believed that a hybrid solution approach would deliver the best email security for both inbound and outbound threats. Secure Computing has identified the following seven key requirements for advanced mail protection: real-time, multi-protocol reputation-based messaging security, providing zero hour protection, reduced bandwidth and archiving costs; multi-tiered inbound defenses to deliver 99. 5 per cent effectiveness; complete content detection –both structured and unstructured;robust encryption and other compliance actions based upon policy; integrated inbound and outbound protection solution; a hybrid security application delivery architecture; and enterprise-ready, best-of-breed solution approach, combining scalability with stability, ease of administration and robust reporting capabilities to maximise and prove ROI to management.

Spam is sent to a separate folder and deleted automatically after 30 days. Gmail is highly customizable, can act as a command center for multiple email addresses, and works with email clients such as Outlook and Mozilla. Use Spam Filters and Blockers
If you’ve followed the recommendations in the previous section, you already have some type of spam filter running. But if you’re getting pummeled, this level of protection may not be enough. Consider adding one of the many antispam programs available today. These programs use a variety of technologies to identify, quarantine, and block spam before it hits your inbox. Compatible filters are available for just about every email program.
