Enterprise Anti-Virus
According to the 1999 ICSA Labs Computer Virus
Prevalence Survey, email-borne viruses cost U.S. enterprises $7.6
billion in the first quarter of the year, and "suspicious file"
(potential virus) email increased 260% over the entire year. According
to the same survey, email has surpassed floppy disks as the most
common method of computer virus transmission.
Through our partnership with Symantec Corporation,
Brightmail has incorporated the power of Symantec Security Response
into the Brightmail Logistics and Operations Center (BLOC), together
providing around-the-clock support and analysis.
Our virus-identifying and blocking technology
eliminates email-borne viruses and threats before they reach your
customers' mailboxes. The BLOC automatically sends updates to virus
filtering rules, without requiring any system administration.
Symantec Security Response continually provides
Brightmail with up-to-date definitions of viruses and engines to
rid email attachments of viruses. Spamming viruses are identified
through Brightmail's Probe Network, a collection of strategically
placed email addresses with a statistical reach of over 100 million
mailboxes that collects spam for analysis by the technicians at
the Brightmail Logistics and Operations Center (BLOC).
