Isomedia, Inc. Deploys Cloudmark Authority For Spam Protection
Hosted E-Mail Provider Delivers Enhanced Spam, Phishing and Virus Protection for Small Businesses, Extends Existing SpamAssassin Deployment
Seattle – September 8, 2008 – ISOMEDIA.COM, a regional leader in small business Internet connectivity and hosting services, today announced that they have successfully deployed Cloudmark Authority® software alongside its existing Apache SpamAssassin™ implementation. Cloudmark Authority provides ISOMEDIA subscribers with the industry's fastest and most accurate spam, phishing and virus protection. Cloudmark's comprehensive message filtering solution, combined with ISOMEDIA's proven e-mail and connectivity services, gives demanding customers unmatched messaging capabilities, higher e-mail service quality and a markedly improved user experience.
"ISOMEDIA has always fought hard to protect our customers from spam, viruses and other forms of e-mail abuse," explains Stephen Milton, CEO and CTO of ISOMEDIA. "We are very excited by the improvements that Cloudmark brings to our continuing efforts to combat these scourges of the Internet."
Apache SpamAssassin is an open source platform for e-mail filtering already deployed in more than 100,000 organizations. Cloudmark Authority seamlessly plugs into virtually any SpamAssassin environment to instantly improve filtering accuracy and message processing performance while eliminating the need for continuous manual updates. Utilizing a unique combination of Advanced Message Fingerprinting™ and real-time, corroborated feedback from the Global Threat Network™ system, Cloudmark Authority detects messaging abuse with more than 98 percent accuracy and near-zero false positives. In addition, by requiring only a fraction of the processing power of rules-based solutions and automatically distributing the latest threat definitions every 45 seconds, Cloudmark Authority frees IT resources and reduces administrative time while delivering the highest level of protection against new threat outbreaks.
"The Cloudmark Authority plug-in for SpamAssassin offers a seamless way for e-mail hosting companies like ISOMEDIA to benefit from greatly improved filtering accuracy and performance without having to change their system architecture," said Jamie de Guerre, chief technology officer of Cloudmark. "ISOMEDIA is known in the hosting industry as an innovator and a leader in customer satisfaction. We look forward to working with ISOMEDIA to help deliver on its promise of providing the most secure, reliable and cost-effective business e-mail service in the market today."
