Outbreak Protection

Please note that the Outbreak Protection feature of SecurityPlus is only applicable when used in conjunction with MDaemon Pro v9.5 and higher. MDaemon Standard users will only receive normal virus scanning capabilities from the integrated Kaspersky Labs AV engine.

Outbreak Protection enhances email security to an all new level by integrating Zero Hour and Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) technologies from industry leader CYREN. Outbreak Protection operates in front of MDaemon’s spam and Antivirus filter to provide incredible detection rates with minimal administration.

Outbreak Protection addresses the most fundamental characteristic of spam and email-born spyware, phishing scams and viruses - their mass distribution over the Internet.

Real-Time Spam Outbreak Monitor

By analyzing large volumes of Internet traffic in real time, new outbreaks are identified as soon as they emerge, and patterns are cached in a centralised database.

When MDaemon receives a new message a unique pattern is quickly generated from its content which is checked against the centralised database in real time. A threat level is returned to MDaemon and further action can be taken.

Independent tests by AV-Test.org show how the RPD and Zero Hour technologies from Commtouch significantly outperformed other AV vendors such as eTrust, Kaspersky, McAfee, Sophos, Symantec and TrendMicro.
