Machine Learning Technology

Spambrella provides machine learning technology through pioneering research, with a highly configurable message-processing platform that provides a comprehensive defense against spam, viruses, and other messaging threats. Our advanced machine learning classifiers and enterprise-strength platform enable the Spambrella solution to synthesize large amounts of data, analyze millions of message characteristics, and classify messages with a very high degree of confidence, resulting in a high rate of effectiveness and a very low rate of false positives.

Continuously adapting:

Spambrella continually adapts to detect new types of spam without manual intervention. The system’s ability to identify spam does not degrade as spammers change their tactics.

Employs next-generation machine learning techniques:

Spambrella includes logistic regression and information gain techniques to build large-scale statistical models that accurately represent dependencies among spam attributes and delineate the boundary between spam and valid messages.

Image/attachment specific machine learning techniques:

To accurately identify even the most sophisticated spam messages Spambrella continues to identify the latest attachment-based spamming techniques and the technology to handle these threats proactively and predictably. As new techniques emerge, Spambrella delivers the latest spam detection technologies to customers automatically.

Analyzes more than 1,000,000 spam attributes:

Including message envelope and header characteristics as well as the actual message and attachment content to accurately classify messages and ensure a low rate of false positives. Ensures the maximum protection today and improves in performance: even as spam evolves.

Spambrella Spam Detection Process

The MLX detection process begins at the Proofpoint Attack Response Center, where scientists and engineers build and refine mathematical models that represent Internet spam. These models are constantly updated and delivered to customers to ensure their messaging infrastructures stay ahead of the latest spam attacks. Proofpoint examines every aspect of incoming messages, from the sender’s IP address to the message envelope, headers, and structure, and finally the content and formatting of the message’s attachments and the message itself. At any given time, more than one million possible attributes—representing both content and structural components—may be taken into consideration. A typical message may trigger more than 300 MLX attributes.

Why is Spambrella connected to Proofpoint?

Proofpoint MLX is the industry-leading threat detection technology according to Gartner and many other leading authorities. Proofpoint MLX is used by national Governments and the military and is widely used within the Financial and Healthcare sectors. Spambrella partner Proofpoint to provide partners and customers with the best possible services Internationally.
