Multiple-language message processing and filtering capacity ideal for large organisations
Sophos has announced the release of its consolidated anti-spam and anti-virus solution, PureMessage 4.5. Specifically designed to meet the requirements of large organisations, PureMessage combines Sophos's industry-leading virus and spam protection, filtering millions of messages per day. This unprecedented scalability, plus its multiple-language message processing, makes PureMessage ideally suited for organisations with multiple-server deployments.
In a recent Sophos poll of over 4,400 companies*, 89.4% of respondents representing large companies indicated that employers have a duty to protect their staff from unsolicited, offensive email. With a growing reliance on email, companies are increasingly finding that a scalable anti-spam solution, that is easy-to-administer, is required.
PureMessage's proprietary anti-spam technology performs
- content scanning to defend against spam messages that are disguised as legitimate email
- message analysis to look for thousands of spam indicators, such as genotype campaign analysis and structure heuristics
- asset tracking to evaluate message source and destination locations for spammer activity.
In addition, PureMessage scans all inbound and outbound email traffic at the gateway for viruses, Trojans and other malicious code.
"The spam problem is bigger than ever. Spammers are adopting new techniques, ensuring spam bypasses traditional filters." said Gary Thomassen, head of product management at Sophos. "Sophos's new PureMessage solution helps overcome these problems by delivering advanced spam protection, ideally suited for the corporate enterprise."
