Outblaze Launches 'Sentry Perimeter' Anti-Spam and Virus Service

Posted on: Monday, 7 November 2005, 12:00 CST

Outblaze, a global provider of hosted email services, today announced the launch of "Sentry Perimeter," the messaging industry's most advanced anti-spam and virus service. Previously, the core technology of "Sentry Perimeter" was only available to companies with email hosted by Outblaze. Recognizing the value its expertise, economies of scale and advanced filtering infrastructure could offer to the wider market, Outblaze decoupled the service as a stand-alone offering for ISPs and enterprises.

Outblaze's global network processes 80 billion messages per month and identifies 92.5% of email as spam or containing viruses. On a daily basis, Outblaze delivers approximately 200 million legitimate emails to it's users.

Outblaze Sentry Perimeter service features:

-- Inoculation network - Outblaze's network, which spans 117 countries and encompasses over 40-million active email boxes, provides the Outblaze email security team with a real-time global view of email security threats. Within seconds of detecting a threat anywhere on the network, Outblaze automatically inoculates all customers while maintaining near real-time delivery of legitimate emails.

-- 24 hour monitoring - Outblaze's email security experts monitor and analyze network traffic flow 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

-- Cost - Outblaze's economies of scale enables it to provide premium level email security services for 30-50% less than other providers and most in-house solutions.

Outblaze Sentry Perimeter is deployed at the network boundary as either a primary or second filtering service.

Suresh Ramasubramanian, Postmaster and Anti-Spam Manager at Outblaze and the author of a recent paper on spam for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), said, "Processing eight billion emails a month across 140 countries gives Outblaze an unmatched view of global virus and spam activity. We're proud to bring these capabilities to the wider market."
