ISOMEDIA, Inc. Deploys Cloudmark Authority for Spam Protection
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SEATTLE, WA, September 8 / MARKET WIRE/ --
ISOMEDIA.COM, a regional
leader in small business Internet connectivity and hosting services, today
announced that it has successfully deployed Cloudmark Authority ? software alongside its
existing Apache SpamAssassin(TM) 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. The Cloudmark Authority
software 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(TM) technology and
real-time, corroborated feedback from the Global Threat Network(TM) system,
the Cloudmark Authority software 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,
the Cloudmark Authority plug-in 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 on the market today."
