TransWARE Partners With Cloudmark to Protect Millions of Customers In Japan From Spam and Malware Threats
Leading E-mail Software Provider in Japan to Offer Industry-leading Messaging Protection with Cloudmark Authority
SAN FRANCISCO – January 31, 2008 – Cloudmark, Inc., the proven leader in carrier-grade messaging security, and TransWARE Co., a leading e-mail software provider, today announced a partnership to integrate Cloudmark Authority into TransWARE's Active! hunter 3.0. Through this partnership, TransWARE will be able to offer Cloudmark Authority, the industry's fastest and most accurate messaging security solution, to both its existing and growing customer base of enterprises, government and educational organizations, small hosting providers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) throughout Japan. Cloudmark solutions currently protect more than 300 million mailboxes and more than 100 of the world's largest service providers and mobile operator networks, including seven of the top 10 ISPs in Japan.
"We evaluated several messaging security platforms and ultimately selected Cloudmark Authority for its scalability and unmatched accuracy in protecting inboxes from messaging abuse," said Ken Matsuda, CEO of TransWARE Co. "The technology scored perfectly in our live-environment comparison testing, registering no false positives against image, PDF and local-language attacks. In addition, Cloudmark has great visibility, customer traction and brand recognition in Japan, making it the perfect choice for us as a messaging security partner and the right choice to meet the needs of our client base."
Cloudmark Authority provides complete inbound and outbound protection from all forms of messaging abuse—including spam, phishing and e-mail borne viruses—on a single platform. The company's solutions combine highly sophisticated Advanced Message Fingerprinting™ technology, which immediately and automatically identifies any new threat and all its mutations, with its Global Threat Network, the largest and most sophisticated in the industry, consisting of real-time, corroborated feedback from trusted reporters in 200 countries.
Cloudmark's approach contrasts dramatically with systems that rely on complex and resource-draining rules or heuristics, as well as with pattern detection that actually requires witnessing a certain number of incidents spread before starting to block the threat. This automated approach is able to stop e-mail borne threats with greater than 98 percent accuracy and near zero false positives, while offering unmatched message throughput that significantly lowers CPU resource/server requirements. In addition, because Cloudmark technology uses application and language-agnostic message analysis, Cloudmark is able to detect messaging threats in any form, format or language, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
"TransWARE is one of the largest e-mail providers in Asia, protecting millions of mailboxes for customers ranging from large ISPs to government agencies," said David Somerville, vice president of business development, Asia Pacific at Cloudmark. "With the proliferation of spam around the world, organizations in Asia have a critical need for highly accurate local-language message filtering that does not have a major impact on resources, infrastructure or overall network performance. With on-the-ground support throughout Asia and significant traction among leading ISPs in Japan, Cloudmark is uniquely positioned to deliver the highest-performing and most comprehensive e-mail security available to TransWARE customers."
TransWARE Active! hunter is an ideal messaging security gateway solution for enterprise and academic service-provider users located in Japan. Active! hunter uses 17 different technology-based spam detection filters, which are optimized for Japanese character-based spam. Active! hunter eliminates not only double-byte character-based spam such as message attacks in Japanese, Chinese and Korean, but also single-byte character-based spam with high accuracy.
