Mail Control & Web Defence

Email and Web Protection Services by BlackSpider Technologies

MailControl Service Overview

MailControl Anti-Virus and MailControl Spam combine to deliver complete protection for your corporate e-mail network; giving peace of mind that your Internet e-mail is free from harmful content.

MailControl really works, providing a 100% guarantee to block all known viruses in your e-mail. By combining the three leading anti-virus technologies and BlackSpider’s own heuristic scanning engine - ‘Huntsman’, MailControl ensures that all virus-infected e-mails are blocked before they penetrate your corporate firewall – Guaranteed.

BlackSpider Technologies has also pioneered a new technique for spam detection. The unique Adaptive Spam Filtering (ASF) engine intelligently learns what type of e-mail you consider to be spam and adapts its filtering algorithms accordingly. This adaptive approach dramatically increases the success rate of spam filtering, recognising that one recipient’s spam is another’s valid e-mail.

As well as anti-virus and spam capabilities MailControl delivers a range of content filtering capabilities to improve and strengthen e-mail security. Features such as blocking messages containing executables or filtering e-mail based on attachment types or message size allows businesses to remain in control of their e-mail security policies.
