About the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG)
San Francisco, CA, August 2, 2006 – Cloudmark, the leader in real-time messaging security, is providing Cable & Wireless (Barbados) Limited with the Cloudmark Authority platform, renowned for the industry's fastest, most accurate anti-spam, anti-phishing and zero-hour anti-virus filtering technology. Cable & Wireless Barbados hosts an ISP infrastructure used in 11 countries and has deployed Cloudmark's Authority platform to shield subscribers from the rapid rise in messaging abuse.
According to Elon Richards, Senior Coordinator of Internet Operations for Cable & Wireless Barbados, accuracy in message filtering as well as easy integration with the existing messaging infrastructure was key for the carrier.
"We now have a single interface where general email management can be done," says Mr. Richards. "Adding Cloudmark's Authority for secure messaging to our CommuniGate Pro Internet communications application server was very easy. With it, we achieve superior accuracy, which keeps our customers happy and reduces the burden on our infrastructure."
According to Jon R.

They offer the highest levels of protection against messaging threats without hindering CommuniGate's performance.

"We are delighted to work with strong partners like CommuniGate Systems and Cable & Wireless in growing a trusted global threat detection network that maintains the industry's highest levels of accuracy," says Tobin.
