What are the key features for the Anti-Spam Engine on the Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA)?

Cisco Anti-Spam is able to stop the broadest range of threats worldwide

• Purpose-built to identify known threats including spam, phishing, and zombie-originated attacks as well as new and evolving threats
• Only solution to combine both email and web reputation systems to detect blended threats. Unlike content-based techniques, these reputation systems are language agnostic.
• Real-time access to Sender Base, the world's largest email and web traffic monitoring network, results in new threats identified as soon as they begin.
• Designed and maintained by a team of highly experienced security experts. Local research staff in Asia, Europe and Latin America contribute to the systems testing and training
• Powered by Cisco's unique Context Adaptive Scanning Engine (CASE), which combines content-oriented and content-agnostic techniques, avoiding misclassification based on narrow message context.
• Backed 24x7 by the Threat Operations Center to ensure closed-loop message analysis.

Cisco Anti-Spam offers zero administrative overhead

• Set up and forget,with an easy to use GUI.
• No ongoing tuning, training or filter writing required.
• Allows end users to focus on their core business, rather than manually reviewing messages.

Cisco  Anti-Spam offers industry-leading performance

• Cisco dynamically updates the order in which rules are executed using our patent-pending early exit algorithm to eliminate unnecessary scanning.
• Cisco pushes as much analysis as possible to the network cloud using network enabled scoring, reducing on-box processing requirements.
• Messages are scanned once for multiple threats, optimizing the overall throughput of our appliances.
