Dear SearchWin2000.com member, Download a copy of this week's featured white paper, "MLX: Machine Learning to Beat Spam Today and Tomorrow," sponsored by Proofpoint. http://searchExchange.com/r/0,,30238,00.htm?track=NL-336&ad=485618
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABOUT THIS FEATURED WHITE PAPER SPONSORED BY PROOFPOINT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As spammers employ increasingly sophisticated techniques to avoid detection by the anti-spam technologies currently in widespread use, these simplistic solutions become ever less effective. Once again, email inboxes are flooded with spam - and critical emails are being inadvertently discarded or simply lost in the noise. Clearly, a new approach is needed to defend corporate messaging infrastructures and reclaim email's value as a corporate communications medium. Proofpoint MLX(TM) technology leverages machine learning techniques - such as logistic regression and support vector machines - to create a spam detection system that automatically adjusts its algorithms to identify even the newest spam attacks. By examining approximately 50,000 attributes to detect spam - versus the 3,000 or fewer examined by traditional anti-spam tools - it is able to maintain near-perfect detection with no need for manual tuning or administrator intervention. By employing a full range of classification methods, from legacy approaches such as heuristics and Bayesian analysis, to state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms such as those used in genomic sequence analysis, MLX enables Proofpoint solutions to: ** Identify spam with better than 97% accuracy ** Sustain, or even improve, that near-perfect accuracy over time ** Maintain the lowest rate of false positives in the industry. By ensuring that the ability to defend against spam attacks does not degrade over time, an MLX-enabled anti-spam solution enables enterprise to permanently return to full productivity and reclaim wasted IT resources, resulting in industry-leading ROI and a healthier bottom line.
