| The damage caused by email-borne threats like spam, phishing and malware is increasing in severity and sophistication, and messaging security solutions relying on open source platforms such as Sendmail and Postfix must deliver high detection rates with minimal mistakes while maintaining a competitive and cost effective offering. |
 |
Vendors and service providers can increase productivity and enhance security performance while reducing costs and saving time by integrating one of the Commtouch messaging security integration tools like the cross-platform, multi-service Milter plug-in.
How the Commtouch Milter Works
Commtouch Milter has scalable and flexible deployment options. When a new message arrives, the Commtouch Milter communicates with Commtouch engines to determine the reputation of the remote IP or whether or not the message poses a security threat. Commtouch data centers leverage Commtouch’s patented Recurrent Pattern Detection™ (RPD™) technology that analyzes more than 2 billion emails per day, providing Commtouch engines real-time classifications of the most recent outbreaks, allowing the Commtouch Milter to block messaging threats within seconds of their release.
