Cloudmark Authority for SpamAssassin

Cloudmark Authority delivers the industry's most effective, highest performance protection against spam, phishing and viruses. Designed for easy integration into virtually any SpamAssassin environment, Cloudmark Authority offers significant improvements in both filtering accuracy and filtering performance with no ongoing administration.

Cloudmark utilises a unique combination of Advanced Message Fingerprinting and corroborated feedback from the Cloudmark Global Threat Network to detect all forms of messaging abuse in real time. A simple lookup against a local cache of fingerprints means that Cloudmark Authority only requires a fraction of the processing power of other filtering plug-ins while maintaining the highest accuracy with near zero false positives. Cloudmark Authority frees server resources, lowers storage requirements and boosts customer satisfaction.

Key Benefits

Unbeaten in head-to-head accuracy trials around the world, Cloudmark Authority filters abusive emails with greater than 98% accuracy and near zero false positives. Cloudmark is able to detect messaging abuse in any form, format or language, including image spam, virus attachments, phishing URLs and double-byte spam.

Infrastructure and Operational Efficiency
