Network Box Begins Beta Testing Distinctive, Innovative New …
MarketWatch
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.
