Cloudmark Server Edition Earns "Highest Accuracy" Rating in Network Computing Review


Millions of NTT Communications' OCN Enterprise Subscribers Protected from Phishing, Spam and Other Message-Driven Attacks

SAN FRANCISCO– November 29, 2005 — Cloudmark Inc., a proven leader in secure messaging for service providers, consumers and business, received several accolades for its Cloudmark Server Edition in a recent round-up review of six anti-spam solution providers conducted by Network Computing magazine. The product demonstrated the best weighted, as well as un-weighted, accuracy performance in the group, and was also acknowledged for excellent false-positive and false-negative scoring.

Additional praise included:

  • Easy-to-install software that requires almost no effort and less than 30 minutes
  • Microsoft Management Console plug-in application that is incredibly easy and allows Windows administrators to get up-to-speed quickly
  • An "interesting" method of identifying unwanted e-mail that relies on more than one million users to detect spam in a trusted user feedback model

Network Computing reported: "We guess one million end users can't be wrong: Cloudmark turned in the best weighted accuracy performance in our tests, at 93.5 percent, as well as the best unweighted accuracy at 97 percent."

Cloudmark Server Edition earned outstanding false-positive and false-negative scores as well. The review continued: "There's no doubt its unique approach to identifying spam is effective."

"Network Computing's verification of Cloudmark Server Edition's quality validates our hard work and dedication to the security of our customers," said Jamie De Guerre, program manager at Cloudmark. "Growing numbers of organizations are dissatisfied with their anti-spam and anti-phishing tools. We protect our customers' networks in real time, and without heavy administration."
