GTA Integrates 'Powered
by Mailshell' Spam Filter into its Firewall and VPN Products
Advanced Spam Filtering Added to Full Range of Security
Appliances
Orlando, FL, December 8, 2004 - Global Technology
Associates Inc. (GTA) today introduced advanced spam filtering
in its GNAT Box OS firewall and VPN products, by integrating
the award-winning spam engine from Mailshell, the OEM anti-spam
leader and creator of the world's first SpamCompiler. With
today's release, GTA's products now feature embedded spam
filtering functionality within the firewall email proxy.
A simple activation code allows customers to enable spam
filtering without downloading any new software. GTA will
release versions of its full product line, from small firewall
appliances through its large enterprise-level appliances,
featuring the 'Powered by Mailshell' filter.
"We evaluated many spam filters and the Mailshell
engine provides exceptional spam filtering accuracy and
integrated perfectly within the available footprint of our
firewall appliances," said Paul Emerson, president and CEO
of GTA. "Mailshell also performed best against foreign language
spam, 'phishing' and other fraudulent emails among all the
spam filtering solutions we tested."
"GTA's precise focus and technical proficiency
have made it a leading developer of cost-effective network
security solutions," said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell. "We've
been impressed by GTA's clear understanding of customer
needs, opportunities and its rigorous technical processes."
The Mailshell engine features the world's
first SpamCompiler, which can process more than a million
filter checks in a fraction of a second. It also filters
mail using Mailshell's new SpamRepute Index, an advanced
statistical analysis-based method of quantifying email senders'
reputations, to identify 'phishing' and other fraud-based
email.
The Mailshell-enabled products will become
available with release of GNAT Box OS version 3.6 for new
firewall appliances (GB-2000, GB-2000e, GB-250 and GB-250e),
and shortly thereafter on GNAT Box OS version 3.6 for current
firewalls models (GB-1500, GB-1200, GB-1000R, GB-750, GB-500,
GB-200, RoBoX-R and GB-Ware).
