ANTI-SPAM PROTECTION
What's New:
Spam today represents 90 billion
messages per day, accounting for more than 80% of all e-mail
traffic. Researchers from The Radicati Group forecasts that
spam percentage will increase to 87% by 2011 despite all
Antispam efforts. It is estimated that the spam accounts for
about 2/3 of corporate e-mail traffic.
How to take
control?
Cutting Edge Technology
Merak
Antispam represents a complete solution approaching 99%
accuracy. On daily basis the engine is being updated to
handle the latest spamming and phishing tricks.
97%
accuracy on average
Low false positives rate
20+
technologies: Spam Assassin, Bayesian, RBL, Grey listing,
RAZOR2...
Automatic update
Spam management scenarios
Multiple spam actions: reject, delete, quarantine, tag,
sort
Antispam Quarantine
To reduce false
positives rate without decreasing Antispam efficiency,
suspicious e-mail can be quarantined. Manual spam processing
means that your users can inspect a daily quarantine report
and white list messages accidentally incorrectly tagged as
spam.
Daily quarantine reports
Works with any
email client
Actions/Voting links to Authorize sender,
Delete or one-time Deliver messages
Users can manage and
inspect Quarantines from Webmail
Messages left in
quarantine are automatically deleted
Auto White listing
Closed working groups can achieve 100% spam-free
email very easily. Messages from your stored business
contacts and people you are in touch with will never be
tagged as spam.
Senders authorized by Challenge
Response
Quarantine senders authorized by user/admin
Webmail Address Book and shared Outlook contacts
Senders
moved to White list Filter folder in Webmail
Senders
sent to special white list learning address
E-mails
from white listed addresses will be delivered straight to
user's mailbox, completely bypassing antispam processing.
ANTI-SPAM LIVE
MScable Anti-spam LIVE is a brand new Anti-spam engine
developed in a co-operation with Commtouch. It brings the
Enterprise level service back to customers with instant
deployment and 100% efficiency.
Anti-spam LIVE
provides zero hour outbreak protection to stop Spam the
minute outbreaks occur and provides an additional level of
accuracy insurance to ensure that system identification
accuracy will never fall below unacceptable levels even if
the system is improperly configured at the administrator
level.
MScable Anti-Spam LIVE Service
In
order to increase MScable's current Anti-Spam identification
to 100%, the optional Anti-spam LIVE Online Engine has been
integrated. Together with the Anti-spam off-line engine to
form the first Dual Protection Anti-spam System on the
market.
The Anti-Spam LIVE service fully integrates
the Commtouch (NASDAQ:CTCH) technology. This combination of
Off-line protection and On-line LIVE SPAM detection provides
a dual layer of security capable of 100% efficient spam
identification.
The result is integrated into
MScable's Spam score calculation resulting in even higher
spam detection accuracy.
Resource Utilization is the
core of MScable's Anti-Spam LIVE.
Antispam LIVE queries
the real-time detection centre only when Anti-Spam Standard
engine requests additional analysis to more accurately
determine if communication is valid or Spam.
Rather
than evaluating the content of messages, RPD (Recurring
Pattern Detection) analyzes large volumes of Internet
traffic in real-time via a network of servers around the
world which report back to the real-time detection centre.
This is method is very effective against mass spammers,
phishing attacks and "text less" spam such as image spam.
The result is:
Increased spam accuracy
detection
Increased end-user productivity
Increased
security
Decreased false positives
Decreased
administration overhead
Decreased storage requirements
by rejecting validated Spam.
ANTI-VIRUS SOLUTION
What's New?
Virus threats, worms and Trojan horses
can cause severe disruption to your critical systems and
compromise the whole network in short time. The only
possible response to these security threats is to stop
malware before it reaches end your user's workstations.

Real-Time
Protection
At the heart of protection are
incremental updates from tens of servers located around the
globe, encrypted for greater security. Checks for updates
run periodically, but the greatest benefit of integration
within mail server is real-time, e-mail triggered Auto
Update feature, which guarantees timely response to current
virus outbreaks. Whenever a special formatted early warning
email is received to administrator's account, server
instantly triggers an update of virus definitions.
Script blocking
ZIP files scanning
Attachment
stripping
Keyword and extension based file blocking
Quarantine folder
Options for a complementary external
scanner
HTTP Proxy screening
Multiple Actions
The Antivirus engine reliably detects malicious code in
all major file types including compressed file formats. The
strength of integration within a mail server lies in
extended reporting and logging features. Various actions can
be triggered when an infected attachment is discovered:
Remove or Clean viruses from the email
Delete or
Reject the infected message
Quarantine the infected
email
Notify user and/or administrator
