IronPort innovates with Web Reputation technology

January 23, 2006

 
The technology measures the behavior and traffic patterns of a Web site to assess its trustworthiness.


 

 

 

 
Web Reputation is the newest, most powerful addition to IronPort's multi-layer anti-spam system. The system is designed to evaluate a message's full context by analyzing what the message contains, its construction, the reputation of who sent it, where it is sending you, to accurately distinguish friend from foe.

Traditional filters look primarily at the content of the email, but this approach has declined in its effectiveness in the face of new tactics. Today's spam uses a URL to deliver the spam message. Similarly, virus writers are increasingly using URLs embedded in emails to distribute the infected file and bypass traditional anti-virus defenses.

IronPort's Web Reputation broadens the context in which the message is evaluated, improving catch rate and accuracy. It tracks over 45 different network parameters to assess the reputation of a given Web site.

"Reputation is based on network parameters that are almost impossible to obfuscate," said Patrick Peterson, vice president of technology at IronPort Systems. "Email and Web reputation broaden the context in which a message is evaluated delivering industry leading accuracy for IronPort Anti-Spam."

IronPort's Web Reputation technology is part of IronPort Anti-Spam. It available now for IronPort Anti-Spam customers worldwide. No software upgrade is required.
