• Features & Benefits

Overview:

The increase in email fraud, phishing and pharming scams each year is causing unsuspecting users to become victims of identity theft and organizations to be faced with the potential for financial and security disclosure. Furthermore, fraud is damaging the reputation of email as a safe and secure way of collaborating.

Phishing attacks employ common spam techniques to distribute official-looking fraudulent emails designed to deceive consumers into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information. MX Logic specifically programs its multi-layered spam filtering framework to identify and block phishing emails from inbound traffic.

With MX Logic Fraud Protection, organizations can rest assured that their users are protected from fraudulent phishing emails which attempt to dupe unsuspecting recipients into releasing personal or business-related information.

Available as part of our comprehensive email defense solution, Fraud Protection is critical to overall network protection.

A Closer Look:

Because email is an essential business tool in today's online society, MX Logic Fraud Protection is critical to ensuring that this business tool remains safe, secure and reputable.

With MX Logic Fraud Protection, supported by our layered anti-spam techniques, you can protect your network and your employees from the risks of fraudulent phishing email.

No match for multi-layers
Primary to the effectiveness of the MX Logic Email Defense Service is our Stacked Classification Framework® spam detection system, which is powered by patented technology and combines the most effective spam-fighting filters and techniques in the industry. Using filters which include Premium Anti-Spam Multi-Language, Statistical Filtering, Industry and Proprietary Heuristics, Reputation Analysis, URL filtering, Sender Policy Framework (SPF)/Sender ID, and Reputation-based RBL filtering, the Framework dynamically calculates and "votes" on the probability that a specific email is fraudulent.

The MX Logic® Email Defense Service received five stars, the highest available rating, in the VeriTest Anti-Spam Benchmark Service™ Summer 2005 Report. The high rating was a result of the solution’s performance in the vendor-tuned portion of the independent test, in which it posted a 99.76 percent Spam Capture Rate. MX Logic posted a Spam Capture Rate of 99.71 in the "out-of-the-box" configuration.

Reeling in the phishing scams
In addition to relying on MX Logic's multi-layered filtering, businesses can protect their employees from unwittingly releasing sensitive information to phishers by enabling MX Logic® ClickProtectSM feature. With ClickProtect, businesses can choose to enable and disable URL click-throughs from email, or display a warning message before allowing or denying the click. Setting specific policies for URLs and warning users before they click on embedded links can greatly prevent employees from accessing fraudulent websites and becoming victims of phishing scams.

Putting unwanted email in its place
When MX Logic filters your incoming email, you have options on how it will be handled. Messages that are identified as spam or infected with viruses may be stored in an external quarantine, accessible by systems administrators. Using the MX Control Console, administrators can easily create policies around how email quarantine is handled - including end-user responsibilities. With established parameters, employees can manage their quarantine via regular emailed MX Logic® Spam Quarantine Reports.
