Software Development Forum Selects Engate
for Preemptive Email Threat Protection
Engate Delivers Major Costs Savings by Blocking Malicious and Unwanted Traffic at the Connection-level and
San Jose, CA – February 20, 2007 — Engate Technology Corporation, a leading supplier of proactive anti-botnet and email security solutions, today announced that SD Forum uses Engate to preemptively stop malicious threats before they reach their email gateway, significantly reducing the Exchange server load. Engate MailSentinel™ provides the industry‘s highest level accuracy of 99% against all threats, including, spam, image spam, phish, botnets, denial of service, and directory harvest attacks, with a false positive rate of 0.0002%.
"Scaling our mail server to constantly meet the demands of rising amounts of unwanted mail like image spam was not cost effective," said Susan Lucas-Conwell, Executive Director, SD Forum. "By deploying Engate MailSentinel™, we have significantly reduced the load on our server, resulting in major cost savings and making the messaging systems much more responsive. Engate has helped to raise the bar on email security."
"In the last year, the volume of spam grew exponentially as spammers used innovative techniques like image spam and a variety of botnet tactics to outsmart contemporary anti-spam products and avoid detection," said Wil Cochran, President and CEO, Engate Technology Corporation. "By preemptively detecting and permanently stopping any variation of spam prior to its entry into SD Forum‘s network, Engate has helped them to reduce their exchange server load by 89% and lower their average daily inbound SMTP bandwidth by 76%, resulting in significant cost savings in network resources and administration."
The Industry‘s Most Powerful
Threat Preemption, Anti-Spam Defense
Using eight patent-pending technologies, Engate MailSentinel™ delivers preemptive threat protection by uniquely profiling the entire spamming network, analyzing every IP within the network, and establishing ’smart‘ rules to block malicious email at the connection level. Engate is impervious to threats because it uses proprietary techniques and source information that cannot be forged, circumvented or adapted by a spammers‘ present and future ingenuity. Engate MailSentinel™ segregates between legitimate mail servers, and all other network functions, thereby making accurate judgments about the legitimacy of inbound mail.
Engate uniquely functions at 99% accuracy at the protocol level, without throttling, capturing, storing or reading email content. Engate MailSentinel™ adds incremental value to existing reputation and content filter investments by radically reducing the volume of unwanted traffic prior to their receipt at the destination mail systems. Once Engate interdicts illicit email at the connection level, Engate directs legitimate traffic to the mail transfer agent, and if desired, filtering for objectionable content. The result is drastically smaller volumes of email that require application layer filtering, as well as a reduced load on the email infrastructure, setting a new benchmark for anti-spam protection and customer satisfaction.
