Ipswitch announces breakthrough hand-tuned anti-spam protection in Ipswitch Collaboration Suite 2.0
Ipswitch, Inc, the leading developer of messaging, network management and file transfer solutions for small to medium businesses (SMBs), announces the release of Ipswitch Collaboration Suite (ICS) 2.0. New anti-spam technology, available in ICS Premium and ISP editions, features spam profiles handcrafted by human editors to thwart the latest efforts in spam attacks.
"We have incorporated sophisticated anti-spam technology into Ipswitch Collaboration Suite 2.0 that is so easy to use, the only configuration administrators must perform is to turn on the protection," said Alex Neihaus, Ipswitch vice-president of marketing.
"By combining the best of automated spam catching methods with hand review by multilingual human editors, we are restoring the reliability of messaging infrastructures. Collaboration is a cornerstone of doing business and companies cannot do enough to protect this vital part of their business communications."
More than 60 million people worldwide use Ipswitch messaging products to communicate over the Internet. Ipswitch Collaboration Suite is based upon IMail Server, a proven, scalable messaging server ideal for companies with tens to thousands of workers. ICS also includes secure instant messaging, server-based shared calendaring capabilities and free/busy functionality for Microsoft Outlook users, as well as anti-spam and anti-virus protection. ICS Premium edition users are protected by Symantec carrier-class anti-virus technology, which combines automatic, non-disruptive updates with advanced customisation capabilities to allow administrators fine control of their anti-virus defences.
Users of ICS Standard edition receive anti-virus technology using the BitDefender scanning engine.
ICS Premium Anti-Spam is powered by Mail-Filters.com's Star Engine on the ICS server, which receives dynamic Bullet Signature Database updates from Mail-Filters. Bullet Signatures are continuously created and updated at Mail-Filters' data centre via automated means and with a final review in over 30 languages by human editors.
Every five minutes, ICS 2.0 Premium Anti-Spam checks for new Bullet Signatures, which are then used by the Star Engine to catch incoming spam. The Star Engine component of ICS identifies spammer tricks by spotting suspicious misspellings, phishing attacks and other unique spam-identifying characteristics. ICS Premium Anti-Spam is tuned to look for very specific tricks and ignores general factors that can generate false positives. This sophisticated processing results in superior throughput at the ICS server, maximum catch rates and extraordinarily low false-positives. More impressively, administrators need only check one check box on the ICS server to effectively protect their messaging infrastructure from spam attacks and restore confidence in the delivery of business-critical e-mail.
