the broadest set of threat prevention factors.
Cisco designed IronPort Anti-Spam from the ground up to detect the broadest
range of email threats. IronPort Anti-Spam addresses a full range of known threats
including spam, phishing and zombie attacks, as well as hard-to-detect low
volume, short-lived email threats such as “419” scams. In addition, IronPort
Anti-Spam identifies new and evolving blended threats such as spam attacks

To identify these threats, IronPort Anti-Spam uses the industry's most complete
approach to threat detection, examining the full context of a message-its content,
methods of message construction, the reputation of the sender, and the reputation
of web sites advertised in the message and more. Only IronPort Anti-Spam
combines the power of email and web reputation data, leveraging the full power
of the world's largest email and web traffic monitoring network — SenderBase —
to detect new attacks as soon as they begin.
