modusGate(TM) achieves Virus Bulletin VBSpam Anti-spam Certification

Vircom's latest modusGate(TM) email security gateway scores outstanding 0.04% FP and ranks amongst the best anti-spam products around the world with the VBSpam Verified Certification program.

MONTREAL, July 6 /PRNewswire/ - In what has been the most participated-in test since the creation of the VBSpam certification scheme, Vircom scores a home run with modusGate(TM) Email Security Gateway software and receives a VBSpam Verified Certification with a ground breaking 0.04% false positives rate.

Recognized as an industry standard for measuring and benchmarking efficiency of anti-spam products, Virus Bulletin's team conducted the test on 23 solutions from a variety of vendors. Vircom's modusGate(TM) managed to score the second highest result for the false positives performance.

"Not only has botnet spam increased dramatically in June 2010 but it has been originating from a large number of geolocations throughout the planet. Furthermore, many different types of spam have been identified and processed, from the World Cup phishing scams to the annoying and useless email messages with no image, little to no text and absolutely no purpose" says Marc Chouinard, head of Email Security Operations at Vircom.

"Our customers have been praising modus technology performance for a decade and we have always been confident about its superior anti-spam capabilities. We are especially proud of this VBSpam Award as it confirms Vircom's leadership and expertise in Email Security" said Sylvain Durocher, Founder and CEO of Vircom. "The modusGate(TM) 5.0 scan engine features an enhanced Artificial Intelligence-based analyzer and a Sender Reputation System that reacts instantly to new botnet spam waves and allows Vircom's email security solution to efficiently combat these modern and constantly evolving botnet infrastructures."
