Messaging Architects’ M+Guardian Awarded Another VBSpam Certification

Messaging Architects' virtual appliance received one of highest spam catch scores, including image and large spam, with an overall rate of 99.95%. M+Guardian identified and rejected 95% of spam messages on the protocol level without the need to analyze the actual data.

Montreal, Canada (Vocus) October 26, 2010 -- Messaging Architects, global experts in email risk management, announced today that M+Guardian, a virtual appliance offering policy-based protection against spam, malware and data leaks, has received a VBSpam award in the latest round of comparative testing conducted by Virus Bulletin, an independent journal covering prevention, detection, and removal of spam, viruses, and malware. Virus Bulletin tested 20 anti-spam products for this review.

The test results for the M+Guardian virtual appliance received one of highest spam catch scores, including image and large spam, with an overall rate of 99.95%. Notably, M+Guardian identified and rejected 95% of spam messages on the protocol level without the need to analyze the actual data. Protocol-based security is one of the core benefits and a strong differentiator of the appliance.

Messaging Architects' email risk management solution has seen substantial increase in market share as a result of widespread adoption in the government, financial services, corporate, and educational sectors, including Offenbach City Council (Germany), ENARGAS (Argentina), FSNB (USA), Formel D (Germany), Blackpool and the Fylde College (UK).

"Over the years, we have been very successful deploying M+Guardian as our clients really see the power of the technology," said Shane Brown, President of DigeTekS LLC, an Information Technology consulting services firm. "On our end, we do internal tests and M+Guardian consistently scores better in terms of spam catch and false positive rates both against low-cost and higher-end email security products on the market."

M+Guardian offers a highly granular and comprehensive policy engine and flexible options for end-user self-management, and is compatible with all standard email servers, including Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, and Novell GroupWise.
