For a large company or institution, losing email service even for an hour is intolerable. Yet many organizations don't know whether their email security infrastructure will be able to withstand tomorrow's spam attack or virus outbreak.

Traffic Control™ vs. Traditional Email Security

The traditional email security approach (left) is to receive email messages from senders, analyze them with a content filter, and quarantine email identified as spam. As spam volumes have increased, the traditional approach has failed to scale, with high concurrency and excessive message load overwhelming spam filters and message quarantines.

Traffic Control™ takes a new approach to email security. Rather than receiving and filtering all messages, Traffic Control™ pre-sorts traffic from different senders into categories that allow legitimate senders ample access, while blocking or severely limiting the volume of email traffic from suspicious senders.
