About IronPort Anti-Spam
IronPort Anti-Spam utilizes the industry's most innovative approach to threat detection. IronPort's unique Context Adaptive Scanning Engine™ (CASE) examines the complete context of a message, including: content, methods of message construction, reputation of the sender and reputation of embedded URL(s). This in-depth, rules-based analysis stops over 98 percent of spam with the industry's lowest false positive rate. IronPort Anti-Spam's innovative technology makes the solution particularly effective against emerging spam threats such as image spam. Image spam, which has skyrocketed (from 5 percent to 33 percent of total spam sent) in the last twelve months, has been one of the main drivers of the dramatic increase in overall spam volumes. IronPort Anti-Spam stops an industry-best 99 percent of image spam -- with the industry's lowest false positive rate.
