"As spam and botnet attacks evolve and become more menacing, we look forward to working with Engate as a partner to preemptively defend our customers against these sophisticated new generation of threats on the Internet."

Reduce Risk, Improve Productivity
and Lower Operational Costs

Engate‘s flagship product, Engate MailSentinel™, provides preemptive, connection level protection against all malicious and unwanted email. Used as a standalone solution or to complement existing content filters and server-based products, Engate MailSentinel™ provides end users with industry leading anti-spam protection, while increasing the productivity and security of the business.

 

More than 90% of all email is spam, a significant proportion of which is transmitted by compromised PCs known as botnets that are cleverly designed to defeat content filtering defenses. When botnets succeed, the influx of spam reduces staff productivity, ties up network resources and compromises the security of the business as it frequently carries dangerous viruses, spyware and malware.

 

Using eight patent-pending technologies, the Engate solution delivers industry-leading protection by extending the security boundary outside the private network to stop malicious and unwanted traffic before transmission. 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 uniquely segregates between legitimate mail servers, and all other network functions, thereby making accurate judgments about the legitimacy of inbound mail. This unique profiling functionality results in the highest level of performance in the market with >99% accuracy and virtually no false positives.
