ProtectionPlus extends and Compliments the built-in features of SecurityGateway Email Spam Firewall for Exchange/SMTP Servers by offering an additional anti-virus engine from Kaspersky Lab and the Recurrent Pattern Detection and Zero-Hour Outbreak Protection of Commtouch.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Engine
* Anti-virus protection from Kaspersky Lab combines traditional anti-virus defense methods with the latest proactive technologies.
* Provides solid and dependable protection against viruses and malware (malicious programs).
Recurrent Pattern Detection Technology
* Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) uses patented technology to identify patterns which are content agnostic to safeguard the original message. These patterns cannot be used to reconstruct the original message.
* RPD extracts and then analyzes relevant patterns, which are used to identify massive email-borne outbreaks. It classifies both distribution and structural patterns within an email message.
* RPD patterns are compared to the local cache which provides fast match results for more than 70% of the patterns. If a pattern is not in the local cache, RPD will query global data centers for a match to provide true real-time protection with the most up-to-date patterns. These global data center queries then update the cache to keep the most current patterns available locally.
* RPD is designed to distinguish Between the distribution patterns of solicited bulk emails, representing legitimate business correspondence, from those of unsolicited bulk emails, representing spam.
* RPD identifies incoming threat messages with very few, if any false positives. Not only are the patterns content agnostic, they are also language-independent making it equally effective for all message formats and encoding types.
