New Features in Version 2.0

Automatic Feedback

Allows end-users to contribute directly to the Cloudmark Collaborative Security Network with simple drag-and drop functionality that automatically reports corrections to the Cloudmark network.

Enhanced Reporting

Provides the system administrator with a view of per-user statistics, including number of messages scanned, number of messages classified as spam, and the number of messages blocked and unblocked by the end-user.

Improved Virus Filtering

Cloudmark provides the first line of defense against e-mail borne viruses. New virus threats are typically identified and filtered within minutes of first appearing in the Cloudmark Collaborative Security Network to immediately protect the entire network, blocking threats before they can create damage and disruption. Now, e-mails that carry potential viruses are moved to a safe location for administrator-controlled centralized quarantine.

Public Folder Support

CSE scans and protects public folders. Detected messaging abuse can be moved to a public folder, creating a centralized administrator-controlled quarantine area.

The Cloudmark Collaborative Security Network™
The Cloudmark Collaborative Security Network™ (CCSN) provides real-time feedback on spam, phishing, virus and other evolving threats, combined with Cloudmark's distinctive fully-automated message analysis and classification process, to block the latest threats within moments of attack origin. The CCSN processes billions of messages every day from over 100 million mailboxes in 163 countries, including those managed by some of the largest wireline, wireless and cable service providers in the world.

How Cloudmark Server Edition Works

Cloudmark Server Edition communicates with the Microsoft Exchange Server through Microsoft's standard Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) to receive notifications when messages arrive, and to perform various preconfigured actions in users' mailboxes on messages that have been determined to be spam.

 

Compute Fingerprints
As email arrives and the Exchange Server routes it to its addressees, Cloudmark Server Edition computes a unique fingerprint or indistinguishable one-way hash for each message and sends it to the Cloudmark Service for evaluation.

Network Transparency
Cloudmark Server Edition does not block the regular flow of messages, so its operation has no impact on throughput. When the Cloudmark Service determines that a message is spam it notifies the Cloudmark Server Edition server.

Tag or Move Spam?
Based on how Cloudmark Server Edition is configured, Cloudmark Server Edition then either: Tags the message in the addressee's mailbox, moves it to a spam folder, or deletes it.

Statistics and Reporting
Administrators can get statistics about how many messages CSE is filtering, how many users are enabled and how much time and money the product is saving the organization to prove ROI and increased productivity across your corporation.
