Most corporate anti-spam products rely on filters to separate
legitimate messages from unwanted email messages -
unfortunately, they miss large numbers of unwanted emails
(including spam and messages containing viruses) while
mistakenly characterizing useful messages as "false positives."
Sendio builds a box that kills unwanted emails with Sender
Address Verification, which empowers users by transparently
accepting messages based on who sent them, rather than relying
on filters to reject unwanted messages.
The Result:
Sender Address Verification (SAV) technology. The only
filter-free, 100% effective enterprise anti-spam solution.
Why Sendio is the answer
Sendio is the only enterprise-level tool that uses Sender
Address Verification (SAV) to solve the unwanted email problem.
SAV is based on the premise that all senders must announce and
authenticate themselves the first time they send a piece of
e-mail. The Sendio I.C.E. Box (Intercept, Confirm or Eliminate)
is an enterprise-class appliance capable of processing millions
of messages a day per server. It is the most effective tool on
the market because it prevents spam from reaching corporate
email servers. In other words, there is no spam to filter
because unwanted messages never even make it into the system!
With Sendio, users never get spam messages, so they don't have
to waste time digging through folders looking for false
positives. As an added bonus, no viruses get in because no spam
gets in and all messages are scanned for viruses!
The problem with filters
Filters are fundamentally flawed because they have no way of
distinguishing between "bad" and "good" emails. Filters, by
definition, are reactive and can do nothing but make "educated"
guesses. Simply put, no matter how good a filter may be, there
is no mechanism for it to analyze the context of a message. All
of the major enterprise or corporate solutions on the market
today attempt to guess, using patterns and keywords, what is
spam - and what is not spam. Unfortunately, filters have created
an "arms race" between spam purveyors and anti-spam tools - and
spammers are always one step ahead. That's one of the reasons
why filters fail to catch large numbers of emails with
legitimate-sounding subject lines. Even worse, filters that are
too discriminating create false positives. For example, Central
DuPage Hospital near Chicago found that legitimate emails to its
doctors were getting filtered out based on the inclusion of
certain medical terms.
The scope of the spam problem
Spam is more than a nuisance . Unwanted emails cost
businesses billions of dollars a year in lost productivity and
lost revenue. Experts estimate that 228 billion spam messages
will bombard consumer and enterprise e-mail boxes in 2008, up
from an estimated 116 billion in 2006. This spam will account
for nearly 90% of all email messages sent. The cost of unwanted
email messages is expected to grow to ~$2,000 per year in lost
productivity per employee for a total economic loss of $20B per
year by 2008.
