 General
The spam filter included in the gateProtect UTM Firewall scans email traffic and intercepts spam before this can have a negative effect on employees’ productivity.
Configuration enables spam filtering to be adjusted in a flexible way with the facility to draw up black lists and white lists.
False identification is extremely low, it is less than 1 in 1.5 million scanned emails.
The high throughput speed of the gateProtect spam filter is a decisive factor in the choice of a suitable spam filter. The speed enables emails to be delivered almost without delay. The high speeds are made possible by the fact that the emails are actually filtered externally and the filtering does not therefore overburden internal resources.
Technology - Real Time Detection
The use of real time detection centres means that spam, virus or phishing attacks are immediately recognised when they break out on the basis of their characteristic patterns. This greatly improves effectiveness and raises the recognition rate significantly. Over 97% of spam senders can thus be recognised and intercepted early before the emails are delivered.
Spam protection is extremely effective and provides protection from all forms of spam including image-based and double-byte languages. It is not limited to a few formats and languages but can be used anywhere in the world and provides protection from spam distributors anywhere on the globe.
In the area of spam filtering gateProtect’s development is based on the outstanding technology of commtouch.
commtouch is a leading provider in the area of email software. Some 50 million users in over 130 countries have placed their trust in their products over the past 15 years.
