Messaging Architects’ M+Guardian First Email Security Solution to Achieve a VBSpam Platinum Award
Montreal, Canada - May 11, 2009 - Messaging Architects, the global experts in email risk management announced today that M+Guardian was the only email security solution to achieve a VBSpam Platinum Award in Virus Bulletin’s anti-spam certification. Of the six products tested, M+Guardian demonstrated a spam-catch rate twice as high and a false-positive rate twice as low as the average from all solutions tested - the pre-condition for VBSpam Platinum status.
Virus Bulletin's methodology tested the capabilities of the core anti-spam engines, thus excluding protocol-level filtering and other layers of spam detection provided by M+Guardian. Martijn Grooten, Test Director, explains: “Until now, end users had little factual information about the performance of different spam filters. We used our experience accumulated in over a decade of anti-malware comparative testing to run an independent anti-spam product test assessing the algorithms different vendors employ to trap spam and avoid false positives. We are confident the results will be valuable for the anti-spam industry as a whole.” The Virus Bulletin report is available to subscribers at http://www.virusbtn.com/index.
“We never had any doubts about M+Guardian’s superior performance capabilities,” said Pierre Chamberland, Founder & CEO of Messaging Architects. “Yet, we are very proud to be the sole recipients of the VBSpam Platinum Award and consider it a strong validation of our product design and overall technology direction, especially since the test methodology was developed by one of the most highly respected and recognized security testing labs.”
Part of Messaging Architects’ M+Platform for Email Lifecycle Management, M+Guardian integrates anti-malware, anti-spam, content filtering and data-leak prevention in a single easy to manage solution. Delivered either as an appliance or a virtualized application for rapid integration into fully virtualized server stacks, it intelligently filters inbound and outbound email according to individuals’ roles and responsibilities. The result is seamless enforcement of corporate usage policies and a dramatic reduction in the cost and complexity of managing email risk.
