Dynamicsoft chooses Proofpoint protection server for centrally-managed anti-spam security.

Proofpoint, Inc. has announced that dynamicsoft, a provider of carrier-class presence infrastructure for subscriber-aware(TM) communications networks, has implemented Proofpoint Protection Server 1.5 to secure its messaging at the gateway, virtually eliminating spam in end user mailboxes. PPS 1.5 employs proprietary Machine Learning MLX(TM) technology to classify email based on the detection of over 50,000 spam attributes. Since implementing Proofpoint, dynamicsoft has reduced spam by nearly 97 percent and has taken the burden of managing spam-filled mailboxes off employees, thus increasing corporate productivity.

"Proofpoint's platform solution not only stops spam from reaching our employees' mailboxes, it delivers a comprehensive, consolidated messaging protection solution that almost manages itself," said Parag Raje, Director, Information Technology, dynamicsoft. "Proofpoint has one of the most flexible and comprehensive solutions on the market today, which combined with its effectiveness and confidence levels for spam identification makes it the best choice for protecting dynamicsoft's messaging system".

Prior to engaging with Proofpoint, spam made up over 50 percent of dynamicsoft's incoming emails and the company had no unified system to cope with unwanted and offensive email messages. Spam rated as one of the top pain points for employees who were spending valuable work hours filtering and deleting unwanted messages. dynamicsoft previously implemented client-based anti-spam products that left end users having to sift through their inboxes and did not provide centralized IT administrator control, which kept IT from being able to monitor email traffic and enforce appropriate email policies. Faced with complaints from employees, concerns from human resources, and a charge from management to resolve the growing spam problem, dynamicsoft turned to Proofpoint for robust and powerful messaging protection, hinged on a compelling anti-spam solution.

"With the comprehensive messaging protection that Proofpoint offers via our MLX technology, dynamicsoft and other enterprises will very quickly see a huge reduction in spam and an increase in employee productivity," said Gary Steele, president and CEO of Proofpoint, Inc. "dynamicsoft has been able to centralize its anti-spam efforts and empower end users to efficiently and effectively handle their incoming messages via user digests, while its IT department can quickly and confidently report to executives on email patterns and statistics."

Proofpoint's enterprise messaging protection is based on its MLX technology, which utilizes advanced Machine Learning techniques for categorizing and classifying content. Core to MLX are its Machine Learning classification algorithms, which include Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machines. These techniques allow Proofpoint's MLX technology to detect higher levels of spam at minimal false positives with a higher degree of confidence than any other technology. MLX maintains its high effectiveness over time with secure, weekly updates, ensuring that organizations stay ahead of spammers as their techniques evolve. MLX's general messaging classification capability is the cornerstone of Proofpoint's messaging compliance architecture. Through administrator-defined policies, organizations will be able to create customized compliance processes that learn appropriate behavior through observing normal organizational business information flows, enforcing messaging compliance regardless of the subject matter or regulations.
