Proofpoint Spam Detection Module
The Proofpoint Spam Detection™ module, a component of the Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway™ and the Proofpoint Protection Server®, provides the most powerful approach to detecting and eliminating spam in any language.
The key to its unrivalled accuracy is the patent-pending Proofpoint MLX™ machine learning technology, a system developed by scientists and engineers at the Proofpoint Attack Response Center. Proofpoint has combined the most effective, traditional spam filtering methods with breakthrough machine learning technology to deliver a system with the industry’s highest effectiveness and lowest rate of false positives.
Features
Multilayered spam prevention for maximum effectiveness
Proofpoint Spam Detection provides robust, yet simple to manage, protection from spam by combining the most effective spam elimination technologies into one cohesive, easy to-manage system. Proofpoint’s multilayered spam defense combines connection analysis, local and global reputation, and advanced statistical content analysis techniques. Proofpoint Spam Detection inspects hundreds of thousands of attributes in incoming email messages—including IP addresses, envelope headers and structure, image and other attachment attributes, sender reputation data as well as unstructured content in the body of messages—to accurately classify spam and assign a spam score. Proofpoint Spam Detection provides protection across multiple layers to eliminate traffic spikes caused by spam attacks and to ensure that end-user mailboxes stay spam free:
The Proofpoint Email Firewall™ provides a stateful, first line of defense against spam by testing numerous connection-level data points including DNS, MX record verification, SPF, recipient verification, Dynamic Reputation™ information and optional net-MLX data. Proofpoint Dynamic Reputation technology constantly monitors SMTP connections at the IP address level, looking for suspect or malicious activity. Based on this analysis, SMTP rate control is used to automatically block or throttle malicious connections, providing outstanding protection against directory harvest and denial-of-service attacks while shedding 30% to more than 80% of inbound connection load.
Proofpoint MLX technology examines the content and context of messages using structural tests, English and foreign language inspection, pornography detection, malicious (spyware/phishing/pharming) URL detection, targeted rules for detecting phish attacks, image analysis, reputation analysis and any custom policies you have
defined. With full support for double-byte languages, Proofpoint MLX provides outstanding protection against even hard-to-detect Asian language spam. Proprietary image analysis techniques included in Proofpoint MLX identify image-based spam that other solutions fail to catch. The Proofpoint Dynamic Update Service™ keeps the
MLX Engine constantly and automatically updated to combat evolving spam.
Backscatter—the barrage of non-delivery report messages (NDRs) and auto-responses caused by spammers spoofing an organization’s email addresses—has become an increasingly serious problem for most organizations. Proofpoint supports the latest BATV (Bounce Address Tag Validation) specification to tag outbound messages and to validate incoming NDRs against those tags to block backscatter.
Checks personal safe and blocked lists for valid and invalid senders.
Checks global safe and blocked lists and any custom-created spam rules; global lists override end-user lists.
