• Features

  Benefits

• Adaptive Policies
  Cloudmark Gateway is able to dynamically update policies through tracking real-time and historical message characteristics, such as header data, envelope information, message content, message verdicts, etc.

  Service providers can leverage message information gathered within Cloudmark Gateway to provide the earliest possible detection of messaging abuse. Policies will automatically adjust to block additional abuse from identified spammers.

• Advanced Flow Control
  Cloudmark Gateway offers a variety of powerful rate limiting and traffic shaping capabilities to handle traffic based on Cloudmark Sender Intelligence as well as virtually any service provider policy.

  Drastically reduces overall messaging abuse to the network and deters spammers from sending large volumes of unwanted email to the network.

• Cloudmark Authority Content Filtering
  Cloudmark Gateway can run Cloudmark Authority's comprehensive anti-spam, anti-phishing and anti-virus filtering at the protocol stage or at the content filtering stage.

  Industry leading protection against inbound and outbound attacks enables higher customer satisfaction and significantly lowered operational and infrastructure costs.

• Policy Management Engine
  The fully extensible Policy Management Engine ties into LDAP or other repositories or databases for supporting custom rules, whitelists / blacklists, sender authentication and other policies.

  Even the most complex policies can be implemented at the edge to fully control service levels and workflow.

• Shared Intelligence
  Local intelligence on spam attacks is shared across multiple Cloudmark Gateway installations within a customer's environment.

  Service providers are protected against spamming techniques such as "snowshoe attacks" that are spread across the target environment to avoid detection, as well as high-volume sequential attacks against individual hosts. Cloudmark Gateway is able to track aggregate abuse across the cluster to thwart attacks at an earlier stage.

• Extensible Platform
  The Cloudmark Gateway platform enables high flexibility and programmability. Product functionality can easily be extended through API support for business applications, such as third party or custom-developed billing, network provisioning and support systems.

  Cloudmark Gateway works seamlessly with all messaging environments - even unifying disparate legacy infrastructures.

• Reporting and Analytics
  Cloudmark Gateway offers Web-based, real-time and historical reporting.

  Full system visibility permits early detection of delivery problems or sender abuse. Enhanced understanding of subscriber usage patterns and behavior improves policy decision-making and infrastructure planning.
