Cloudmark Gateway

High Performance Protection at the Edge

Cloudmark Gateway™ with Cloudmark Authority delivers the industry's fastest and most accurate edge message filtering solution. Cloudmark Gateway, a high-performance edge mail transfer agent (MTA), integrates seamlessly with Cloudmark Authority for a comprehensive messaging security solution.

Designed for carrier-class deployments, Cloudmark Gateway empowers service providers with complete control over message handling and policy enforcement at the network edge. As a result, the majority of unwanted email traffic is stopped before impacting the messaging infrastructure and storage, thus significantly reducing system costs. The Cloudmark Gateway edge solution is available in software or appliance configurations based on the service provider's desired implementation scheme.

Intelligence at the Edge

Cloudmark Gateway is able to run full content filtering, not just IP filtering, at the edge of the network. In addition, its service provider-defined policies and specific threat mitigation techniques, including anti-denial of service, traffic shaping and connection throttling, can limit all forms of messaging abuse. Protocol-level intelligent flow control discourages attackers from targeting the network by severely restricting connection attempts. And Cloudmark Gateway with Cloudmark Authority stops 98% of abusive email traffic at the edge, dramatically reducing the impact on the messaging infrastructure.
