Cloudmark Sees Rapid Europe-Wide Adoption of Cloudmark Email Security Solution
Leading Service Providers Leverage High-Performance Edge Mail Transfer Agent, Advanced Content Filtering and Sender Reputation to Ensure IPv6 Readiness, Streamline Messaging Infrastructures, Lower Costs and Reduce Energy Consumption
SAN FRANCISCO—October 12, 2010—Cloudmark, Inc., the global leader in carrier-grade messaging security, today announced rapid customer adoption across Europe for the Cloudmark email security suite, the industry’s most accurate protection against spam, phishing and malware.
Cloudmark’s proven email security suite consists of Cloudmark Gateway, a high-performance edge mail transfer agent (MTA), Cloudmark Authority™, patented, advanced message filtering and Cloudmark Sender Intelligence, which uses real-time data from the Cloudmark Global Threat Network to create accurate, comprehensive sender profiles of good, bad and suspect senders. By leveraging the industry’s fastest and most accurate and flexible carrier-grade email security suite, key service providers across the region, such as France Telecom, are improving the service they provide to their email customers, while reducing their messaging infrastructures, system costs and enhancing overall energy efficiency.
Cloudmark has built a thriving global customer base by delivering messaging infrastructure and security solutions that dramatically improve the speed and accuracy of messaging threat protection for the largest and most demanding service provider networks and their customers. Cloudmark now protects:
- 1.8 billion subscribers in 165 countries
- 15 of the top European service providers
- 12 of the top North American service providers
- Nine of the top Japanese service providers
“We selected Cloudmark considering their expertise and experience in the message security industry and the high performance and flexibility level of the solutions they provide,” said Sylvain Causse, director email, vocal and unified messaging of France Telecom. “We look forward to working with Cloudmark to continue providing the best messaging protection for our customers.”
Stefano Cecconi, Aruba CEO, commented: “As we continue to expand into new markets, we have recognised the need for highly-scalable, flexible security solutions. With an ever-growing number of subscribers and a strong base of enterprise users, it is essential for us to be able to guarantee a high level of security. The combined speed, accuracy and flexibility of these three solutions will enable us to provide comprehensive protection and help us to deliver the optimum end-user experience to all of our customers.”
Ronand Renes, XS4ALL manager operations commented: “With Cloudmark Gateway, we are able to process the same amount of e-mail using less than 20 per cent of the hardware, compared to our previous setup. This not only significantly reduces hardware and operational costs, but critically, increases overall energy efficiency. Furthermore, Cloudmark Gateway simplifies the implementation of the various rate-limiting and reputation controls required in today’s email environment. In the previous setup, rate-limiting was built on a centralized log processor, making it slow and vulnerable to attack. With Cloudmark Gateway, distributed reputation and rate-limiting are built in, enhancing overall security and protection.”
“As service providers face a deluge of email-borne threats that tax their messaging infrastructures, they continue to turn to Cloudmark to ease the cost and burden on their networks,” said Kevin San Diego, vice president of product management at Cloudmark. “With Cloudmark’s email security suite, our customers around the globe are recognising the benefits of stopping threats at the network edge with the industry’s fastest and most accurate protection. We look forward to continuing to build on the considerable success to help service providers worldwide increase customer satisfaction while combating messaging threats more efficiently and cost-effectively.”
Fast, Intelligent and Scalable Protection for the Largest Messaging Environments
The Cloudmark email security suite protects service providers and their subscribers against all forms of current and emerging messaging threats. It empowers service providers with complete control over message handling and policy enforcement at the network edge, stopping unwanted and malicious email traffic before it impacts the messaging and storage infrastructure and subscriber inboxes. Running advanced content filtering against spam, phishing and viruses, Cloudmark Gateway can process over three million messages per hour, up to 20 times faster than competing solutions. Cloudmark Gateway’s architecture dynamically scales to eliminate messaging abuse across a large number of machines at once and ensure high availability and service quality at all times.
Consolidated Infrastructure; Reduced Energy Consumption for a Greener Network
The Cloudmark email security solution delivers a high performance messaging security solution with only a fraction of the processing resources of competitive solutions. It blocks and eliminates malicious email traffic before it hits the messaging infrastructure, preventing network overload and disruption of service. As a result, service providers need fewer servers and less energy to manage their email traffic, driving capital and operational savings while creating a greener network.
Open, Flexible Deployment; IPv6-Ready
The Cloudmark email security suite supports any messaging or business policy requirements by hooking into LDAP settings, databases, billing systems and other data sources. Workflow enhancements now provide even greater flexibility for managing granular policies, allowing service providers to customise policies on a per-user and per-business basis. Cloudmark Gateway’s flexible framework supports third-party applications, legacy systems and other tools. The Cloudmark email security suite also now features support for IPv6 networking to flexibly meet the requirements of service providers’ strategy for transitioning from their existing IPv4 networking infrastructure.
