Publisher’s description

Spam, viruses, malware, spyware, denial of service attacks, and directory harvest attacks are all driven by the same underlying motive - profits. These profits are attained either through the sale or advertising of merchandise or theft of information. Profits from these sales are driving increasingly sophisticated attacks, developed by professional engineers. To counter these threats, sophisticated email security systems need to analyze a message in the broadest possible context. IronPort's Context Adaptive Scanning Engine technology asks the four basic questions: Who, Where, What, and How - to weed out legitimate messages from blended threats.
