After a rigorous and highly-competitive selection process,
Web.com selected Commtouch for integration into its email
infrastructure, which today serves millions of customers. A key
selection criterion was that the solution achieves the highest
possible detection performance while avoiding costly false positive
detections. As a result, Web.com selected the following Commtouch
services:
- Inbound Anti-Spam – based on Commtouch's patented
Recurrent Pattern Detection™ (RPD™) technology, delivers real-time
blocking of spam and phishing in any language or format with almost
no false positives
- Outbound Spam Protection – blocks and identifies the
sources of 99 percent of outgoing spam, avoiding the cost and
inconvenience of IP addresses being blacklisted
- Virus Outbreak Detection – provides real-time protection
for users from email-borne malware
All of the services are powered by the Commtouch GlobalView™
Cloud, which analyzes more than 12 billion transactions per day to
derive unique intelligence regarding both existing and emerging
security threats. This intelligence then automatically drives
decisions regarding whether to block or allow a given email.
"At Web.com, we constantly look for ways to provide better
services to our customers. With the addition of the Commtouch
services, we can now better safeguard our customers from the
nuisance of spam emails, without the risk of having their critical
communications erroneously blocked," said Jane Landon, chief technology officer at
Web.com. "By effectively eliminating spam outbreaks originating
within our network, we can focus our efforts on serving our
customers better rather than fighting the spammers."
"We welcome Web.com to our team of partners," said Brett Wilson, vice president of products at
Commtouch. "We continue to see strong adoption for our services by
the service provider and hosting communities. With spam attacks now
lasting just a few minutes, our ability to block attacks within
seconds versus others taking many minutes, is the difference
between success and failure for our partners."
