With botnets being responsible for the source of 85% of all spam on the internet, it is important to indentify these sources in real-time. The EnableTS IP reputation service uses real-time information from our global network to collect information about spam sending hosts on the internet.
Information is collected and analysed through a number of algorithms to determine the current status of the host. While the host is actively sending out spam it remains at a high threat level in the EnableTS database, as the trends change the thread level changes in real-time.
The IP reputation service is an excellent way of removing or slowing down vast amounts of email from the flow before it hits your in house systems, allowing a more efficient mail flow process. With 85% of the mail flow potentially being removed from the equation, providers are able to add more users to their own systems and process mail more quickly, as well as rely on the IP reputation service to flag mail that is spam with near zero false positives. |
