It claims that, since introducing Cloudmark Authority for its premium email subscribers in January, it has seen a significant reduction in the amount of spam, phishing and viruses, making their way to customer inboxes, and the enhanced performance has reduced its email infrastructure requirements by around 80 percent. Melbourne IT says it went looking for a new email filtering service after experiencing some major service interruptions in mid-2007, when its existing filtering system was unable to process the huge volume of spam etc. eCorner's managing director, John Debrincat, said the Melbourne IT pilot compared Cloudmark Authority head-to-head with the competitor, with conclusive results. "Both Cloudmark Authority and the competitor filtered the same 10 percent of the total production message stream through Melbourne IT over seven full days in September 2007, scanning around 1.5 million messages. "Cloudmark proved much more effective than the other company, stopping 45 percent of all messages compared to their 26 percent,. The Cloudmark solution reduced traffic to Melbourne IT's internal MTA and mail store by 19 percent, had lower false positives and was able to process the same number of messages in less than half the time required by the competitor." According to Debrincat "Cloudmark works on a collaborative global network of more than 260 million mailboxes, all of which receive messages in real time and provide instant feedback to the system whenever a new spam message is identified. Cloudmark's advanced message fingerprinting algorithms and real-time corroborated feedback mechanisms create an in-memory cache of verified fingerprints that is automatically updated and distributed to customers every 45 seconds. "This ensures that all email servers are immediately protected, instead of having to wait for a programmer to write a new rule and send it out via an update, as with other companies. As a result, Cloudmark Authority is able to stop email borne threats with over 98 percent accuracy and near zero false positives."
