The Symantec Brightmail™ Gateway delivers inbound

and outbound messaging security for email and IM, with

effective and accurate antispam and antivirus

protection, advanced content filtering, and data loss

prevention technology. The Brightmail Gateway is simple

to administer and catches more than 97% of spam with

less than one in a million false positives. With the

Brightmail Gateway, organizations can effectively

respond to new messaging threats, minimizing network

downtime, preserving employee productivity, and

protecting company reputation. The product leverages

continuous automatic antispam and antivirus updates

from the Symantec Global Intelligence Network, on-box

connection throttling using both global and self-learning

local IP reputation, and comprehensive reporting. The

Brightmail Gateway is available as both a traditional

physical appliance and a VMware-certified virtual

appliance, enabling organizations to easily add or

remove antispam capacity to keep messages flowing in

the face of growing, unpredictable spam volume.

The Brightmail Antispam™ engine is based on over 10

years of experience fighting spam. Unlike many other

engines, Brightmail employs over 20 different antispam

technologies.
