Your organization no longer has to accept spam as a fact of life. Advanced technology provided by IBM® Lotus® Protector for Mail Security software has shown to block over 99% of spam during independent testing.¹
The IBM® Internet Security Systems (ISS) X-Force® research and development team provides the foundation for a preemptive approach to Internet security enabled by Lotus Protector for Mail Security software.
They continuously monitor new spam techniques and distribution methods, which can be transferred from the ISS Global Data Center to your business several times per day – helping to keep you ahead of the latest spam trends. And with the optional Spam Learn feature, ISS offers anonymous, automated reporting of new spam to IBM from your business.
Lotus Protector for Mail Security software is engineered to optimize email throughput. Zero level analysis technology, exclusive to IBM, provides real-time analysis of content, discarding known spam immediately. This can help avoid the time consuming process of writing content to disk for analysis, helping to minimize system resource utilization.
Indepth content analysis can be customized to your specifications. Over 20 analysis modules are available that allow you to tune for further analysis of email. You can combine modules together to define policies or tailor modules to help meet legal, regulatory compliance, or enforce business standards. For example, you can scan email for business confidential or personal content such as social security numbers, customizable keywords and offensive content. You specify the modules to use to help control content that leaves your network.
¹ The effectiveness percentage and number of false positives are based on daily ICSA Labs anti-spam effectiveness testing conducted in August 2009. During that month, ICSA Labs sent over 750,000 messages through Lotus Protector for Mail Security devices installed in ICSA Labs testing laboratories. Individual results may vary. Complete details are available in the set of ICSA Labs Monthly Anti-Spam Short Reports (ZIP, 33KB) for the Lotus Protector for Mail Security solution.
