Red Condor Enhances Spam-Fighting Capabilities With Latest Software Update

ROHNERT PARK, CA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2009) - In its effort to stay steps ahead of spammers, Red Condor, the award-winning provider of fully managed email security solutions, today introduced new spam-fighting capabilities as part of its 6.1 software release. The update includes new false positive reduction capabilities, spam and phishing campaign monitoring techniques and enhanced keyword filtering, in addition to new branding and administrative features. Red Condor provides anti-spam technology through its family of Message Assurance Gateway (MAG) network appliances and Hosted Service, which can be combined to provide fault-tolerance through data center backup for true hybrid messaging assurance.

The recently released capabilities include the following:

--  False Positive Quarantine Miner - The proprietary Miner combs through
    previously quarantined messages looking for good email. These potential
    false positives are reported to the Red Condor system for reprocessing and
    possible release of the message and deactivation of the rule that caught
    the message.
--  Spam Trip Wire - New proprietary campaign monitoring technique that
    quickly identifies spam and phishing campaigns before they penetrate users'
    networks. Suspicious campaigns are put on probation until a filter rule can
    be written to capture messages from the campaign. During the probationary
    period, messages referring to the suspicious campaign are quarantined.
--  Keyword Filtering - Enhanced keyword filtering capabilities allow
    administrators to create Word lists to be used for both inbound and
    outbound filtering to quarantine messages based upon criteria such as
    obscenity, financial information or intellectual property.
    

"Most anti-spam solutions simply fail at preventing false positives, which are a major pain point for businesses and consumers," said Dr. Thomas Steding, CEO of Red Condor. "Red Condor is the only true hybrid, next generation solution provider that uses multiple feedback loops and continuous learning on false positives to enhance our solution. Our customers have come to expect near perfect anti-spam block rates and near zero false positives. With ongoing enhancements like our False Positives Quarantine Miner, we continue to stay ahead of the cybercriminals and maintain our system's accuracy and innovation."
