MessageLabs is the leading provider of managed email security services to businesses worldwide. The company's unique predictive technology, Skeptic(tm), delivered through a global infrastructure, acts as a first line of defense by scanning email and eliminating threats such as viruses, spam and other unwanted content before they reach the customer and without the need for any additional hardware or software costs.

The MessageLabs service is powered by a global network of 'control towers,' currently spanning the US, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong. The network is centrally managed from a Global Operations Centre and scans millions of emails a day with no discernible impact on delivery times.

  • Requires no additional hardware or software from the customer
  • Reduction in email volumes by dramatically reducing spam and thus demand on your Internet bandwidth and email infrastructure
  • No need to worry about viruses or downloading signatures – even at the time of a virus outbreak
  • Ensures accurate detection of pornography, offering protection against legal-action, employee downtime and loss of hard-earned brand equity
  • Protects against loss of intellectual property, disclosure of confidential information, defamation of company name, abuse of mail and protection from potential legal action
  • End-to-end email security system
  • InSight, MessageLabs’ web-based management interface providing configuration tools, service statistics and reports

A Fully Managed Service

  • MessageLabs Email Security System: Rated independently as the most effective and accurate e-mail security solution provider worldwide.
  • Outsourced Solution: No additional software or hardware required. Cuts costs and IT staff time needed to maintain software-based solutions – Instant ROI.
  • First Line of Defense: Internet-level service that proactively stops e-mail borne threats (Spam, viruses, porn) before they reach customer networks and mail servers.
  • Predictive Technology: Patented Skeptic technology uses artificial intelligence, heuristics and Bayesian probability to proactively eliminate threats and continually learn.
  • Global Architecture: Fault tolerant, high capacity, redundant global network, with 24/7 NOC monitoring - 12 data centers on four continents in six time zones.
  • Complete Visibility & Configurability: Real-time access for customers to view their e-mail threat statistics and configure their service through web-based intranet.
  • Inbound & Outbound Solution: Scans customer e-mail in both directions, to avoid the possibility of customers forwarding viruses or pornography to their clients and suppliers.
  • High Volume, High Profile Customers: The service scans over 32 million e-mail messages a day for over 6,500 customers worldwide, including The British Government, The Bank of New York, EMI Music, StorageTek, SC Johnson, Conde Nast Publications, Fujitsu and Diageo. .

Anti-Spam

  • Multiple Spam Filters: Combination of heuristics, Bayesian probability, hash busters, smart fingerprints, public blacklists and customer-configurable whitelists and blacklists.
  • Rated Most Effective: Independently rated as the market leader in effectiveness (96.4% - PC Magazine) and accuracy (0.04% false positives – ComputerWorld).
  • Artificial Intelligence: As system scans more email, it becomes smarter and better able to identify and stop Spam and adjust to new, sophisticated Spammer techniques.
  • Customization: Customer specifies how to handle Spam (e.g. blocked instantly, sent to administrator, etc.) and domains, IP’s and e-mail addresses to block and accept.
  • Network ROI: 40-50% of all business e-mail is Spam (Gartner). Eliminating Spam before it reaches customer networks, typically provides customers an immediate 30%-60% increase in mail server bandwidth, capacity and processing power.
  • Productivity ROI: If each users spends one minute / work-day on reading/ deleting Spam that is 20 minutes/month. At a $35/hour salary that is $12 / user / month.

Anti-Virus

  • Proactive vs. Reactive Technology: Only service to provide 100% protection against both known viruses and new, unknown ‘day zero’ or ‘first strike’ viruses.
  • Multiple Virus Scanners: Combines 3 leading commercial scanners (McAfee, VFind, F-Secure,) with proprietary heuristics-based scanner and real-time virus “DNA” database.
  • Zero Customer Infections: Most effective - not one customer has received a single e-mail borne virus, known or unknown since using the service (more than 3 years).
  • Updates / Statistics: Service also includes virus outbreak alerts and statistical analysis of each customer’s virus patterns.
  • ROI: Eliminates time, costs and security risks caused by virus infection and clean up.

Porn Filtering

  • Advanced Image Composition Analysis: Combines image flesh-tone scoring with artificial intelligence, and a neural network of shapes, textures, definitions to detect porn based on physical poses, facial expressions, clothing, and overall image content.
  • Most Effective: 90% detection rate accuracy vs. the industry average of 70%.
  • ROI: Enforce ‘E-mail Acceptable Use Policies’ and reduce liability from harassment suits.
