The SaaS Email Inbound Filtering service includes essential multilayered email protection features, including:

Precise spam blocking—Block over 99 percent of spam and radically reduce spam-related costs. Our Stacked Classification Framework® uses a patented multilayered method to assess and determine the probability that an email is spam. Each of more than 20 separate layers of filtering has a set of unique strengths designed to identify and stop specific threats. This combination creates one of the most accurate and comprehensive filtering processes in the industry.
Triple virus and worm scanning—Proprietary WormTraq® worm detection technology identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms before they enter your corporate network, while our industry-leading signaturebased anti-virus engine keeps viruses at bay
Content and attachment filtering—Reduce corporate liability and risk. Intelligent message processing identifies, quarantines, and blocks unwanted, malicious, and sensitive content and attachments.
Email attack protection—Conceal your network and critical messaging gateways from the public Internet. Instantly block denial of service and other SMTP-based attacks, including dictionary harvest attacks, email bombs, and channel flooding
Fraud protection—Keep employees safe from the risks of fraud and phishing scams
