 What is Cisco Anti−Spam's catch rate, false−positive rate, and throughput?

The Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) and the Anti−Spam engine are optimized around minimizing
false−positives.

Cisco's target is to have a false−positive rate of less than one in a million and a catch−rate of greater than
97%.

Note: Cisco Anti−Spam's throughput will vary based on how the ESAs are configured and the hardware
resources available to process the required throughput.

The actual catch rate and false−positive rate will vary by region and mailflow.
