Cloudmark CloudFilterTM Solution to Protect
Millions of MySpace Users Against Messaging Abuse and Evolving Threats
Cloudmark,
Inc., the global leader in carrier-grade messaging security, today
announced that MySpace
has selected Cloudmark’s CloudFilter™
managed email security platform to operate, manage and secure the newly
launched MySpace Mail. With CloudFilter™, MySpace extends its existing
security investment beyond Cloudmark
Authority™.
Over the past three years, MySpace has taken aggressive steps to protect
its users and combat spam, phishing and viruses that threaten the
MySpace user community. The CloudFilter™ solution enables MySpace to
provide users with a premium mail service backed by industry-leading
messaging security accuracy. CloudFilter™, a managed email security
solution, delivers zero-hour protection using carrier-grade sender
reputation data, advanced content filtering and proven messaging
policies. With the launch of MySpace Mail, the company is ensuring Mail
users would have optimal protection from day one.
“MySpace has always taken an aggressive approach to privacy and we are
committed to ensuring MySpace Mail has the same level of security for
our users that we have employed throughout our site,” said Rajit Marwah,
director of product management for MySpace Mail. “Cloudmark’s proven
technology is a vital part in our approach to providing users with a
trusted and secure Mail experience.”
The new MySpace Mail blends the best of social networking and
traditional mail. MySpace is supplying users with @myspace.com mail
addresses, enabling them to securely send and receive messages to and
from friends both inside and outside the MySpace network.
“We applaud MySpace’s holistic and proactive approach to ensuring the
protection of their vast user community,” said Hugh McCartney, chief
executive officer at Cloudmark. “Making security a top priority and
ensuring the best user experience will certainly enhance the adoption of
MySpace Mail. By leveraging Cloudmark’s proven technology and expertise
in deploying and managing large-scale security infrastructures for
carrier networks across the globe, MySpace IT staff can rest assured
they are taking every measure possible to protect their network’s
integrity.”
