MessageLabs is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) specialising in Internet-level email content filtering and has the unique claim to having stopped every email virus since its service started in 1999. While the world watched helplessly last year as the I LOVE YOU (VBS/LoveLetter) virus caused damage estimated at US$7 billion (according to some sources), MessageLabs was the first company to identify and intercept the "Love Bug". Not a single one of its customers was affected.
Its SkyScan AV is the world's first Internet-resident antivirus service and the only virus protection solution that does not rely on knowing virus signatures in advance. SkyScan AV comprises three layers of scanning software from leading anti-virus vendors and a proprietary fourth layer called Skeptic. Skeptic is a unique, patented and revolutionary malicious code scanner combining artificial intelligence and a heuristics to sniff-out and stop anything suspicious.
MessageLabs' technology is continually updated with emails scanned in real-time so there is no impact on delivery times. Users simply sign up for the service so that all their email traffic is directed through the company's Control Towers strategically placed at major Internet exchange points.
Currently, MessageLabs scans email for more than 300,000 users worldwide, and major customers include Air Products, Fujitsu, The Bank Of England and Vodaphone. Yui Kee Computing has already started selling the SkyScan AV service prior to MessageLabs’ official launch in Hong Kong, planned for March. Please contact us for pricing information and more details.
