Spam accounted for more than 90% of corporate mail received in the second quarter, according to data from TrustLayer Mail.
 

During the second quarter of 2007, spam accounted for more than 90% of corporate mail received. This data has been compiled from companies who have contracted TrustLayer Mail, Panda’s managed security service.

With respect to the threats distributed using email, the most frequently detected by TrustLayer Mail has been the Netsky.P worm. In the top five there are three SpamtaLoad Trojans, which enable a range of intrusions and attacks: screenlogging, stealing personal data, etc.

“Spam figures are constantly increasing. With TrustLayer Mail, businesses can make significant savings, as spam is stopped before it enters the company”, explains Víctor Omaechevarria, TrustLayer Mail Product Manager.

This Panda service guarantees 100% virus-free mail backed by a Service Level Agreement.

TrustLayer Mail includes technology that is able to detect 98.5 percent of all spam. It also returns a false positive ratio of just 1 in every 27,905 messages processed. This data has been compiled from the networks protected by TrustLayer Mail during the solution’s trial phase.

The TrustLayer system architecture offers load-balancing and redundancy and is designed to offer maximum availability (99.99%) to ensure an uninterrupted message delivery service: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
