Marshal integrates Cloudmark Technology to Augment its leading Anti-Spam Engine and Provide Even Faster and More Consistent Spam Detection.

Cloudmark, Inc., the global leader in carrier-grade messaging security, and Marshal, a provider of secure email and Web gateway security based in Basingstoke, today announced a partnership to integrate Cloudmark’s best-of-breed message filtering technology into the new SpamProfiler layer of Marshal’s multilayered Defense-in-Depth Anti-Spam Engine. MailMarshal SpamProfiler with Cloudmark Authority detects at least 99.5% spam consistently, thereby mitigating the security and performance challenges posed by growing messaging security threats.

Continually evolving security and messaging threats means vendors must constantly innovate to stay ahead of the deluge of abuse. The integration partnership with Marshal enables enterprises to benefit from the most advanced messaging security technologies available. We bring the accuracy and detection speed of Cloudmark’s technologies to Marshal’s market-leading enterprise security solutions,”

commented Jacinta Tobin, Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Business Development at Cloudmark.

Marshal has integrated Cloudmark Authority into SpamProfiler, the newest layer of anti-spam protection in Marshal’s Defense-in-Depth Anti-Spam Engine which powers Marshal’s email gateway solutions. SpamProfiler increases the consistency of spam detection, speeds message processing throughput and also enhances detection of foreign language spam. It uses sophisticated algorithms to create spam signatures that are used to identify instantly any message that resembles known spam. SpamProfiler receives signature updates as frequently as every ten minutes and performs exceptionally well even with foreign language spam. It accurately identifies and blocks the bulk of spam as it is being received, maximizing message throughput and saving server resources.

“Our goal is to keep businesses virtually spam free. Developing a consistently effective anti-spam and anti-phishing defense is an ongoing and never-ending mission because formats and techniques to send are continually evolving. We are pleased to supplement the SpamProfiler layer of our unrivalled anti-spam engine with Cloudmark Authority which is very complementary to our existing technology. Combining technology from Cloudmark, another leading messaging security vendor, to our existing products is a major demonstrable benefit to all our customers,”

said Bradley Anstis, Vice President of Products at Marshal.

In addition to the highest level of accuracy, Cloudmark offers unmatched message throughput, significantly lowering CPU resource/server requirements.
