How does Commtouch's MS Exchange
Connector work?
Commtouch’s Exchange Connector lets you easily integrate our
proven messaging security email protection technology into your existing Microsoft
Exchange environment. You will instantly benefit from increased
spam, phishing and email-borne virus detection - without having
to manually adjust rules or tinker with filters. Commtouch’s spam
detection and zero hour virus outbreak detection happens in the
cloud – so you no longer have to bother with administration,
complex rule definition or on-going maintenance. And if you are
have a high volume of traffic or a large number of users, you
can further decrease your operating and infrastructure costs
with Commtouch’s GlobalView Mail Reputation service for
perimeter defense, blocking up to 90% of unwanted emails before
they enter the network.
THE COMMTOUCH APPROACH
Commtouch messaging security solutions rely on our patented
Recurrent Pattern Detection™ (RPD). Rather than evaluating the
content of messages, the Commtouch Detection Center analyzes
billions of emails daily with RPD. With RPD spam detection
capabilities, it identifies new spam,
phishing and email-borne malware outbreaks by their massive
distribution patterns as soon as they emerge.
RPD has demonstrated sustainability without requiring the
ongoing maintenance and adaptation associated with rule-based
systems.
PERIMETER SESSION BLOCKING
High-Volume Exchange users looking to reduce system
resources, save bandwidth and enhance performance need
Commtouch’s GlobalView Mail Reputation service. The service
blocks up to 90% of unwanted SMTP sessions before they clog up
your network, significantly lightening the load on your Exchange
server and infrastructure.
GlobalView Mail Reputation gets its data from Commtouch’s
global RPD analysis to distinguish in real time between
legitimate corporate senders, valid publishers, zombies, and
spammers/malware distributors.
