OEM Enterprise Suite Desktop Protection Technology

Details

Mailshell offers a multi-platform suite of software engines, including SDKs, APIs and applications to integrate email reputation, spam and phishing protection into OEM's new and existing security solutions. Companies can integrate the Mailshell AI Engine into their existing product or application using Mailshell's multi-threaded development toolkit, the Mailshell Anti-Spam SDK.

In addition to the flagship Mailshell SDK, the Company also offers Mailshell LiveFeed, its streaming real-time email reputation service, and the Mailshell SDK Lite which adds email filtering to small footprint devices such as routers, modems, firewalls and other low memory edge devices, thereby creating recurring subscription revenue opportunities for these solutions.

Mailshell's SDKs are embedded by service providers, networking providers, enterprise software solutions, messaging platforms, SAAS platforms, desktop security suites, web browsers, hardware appliances, firewalls and small USB devices. For additional transparency and ease-of-use for end-users, Mailshell also offers several server- and client-side plug-ins to accelerate OEM partners' time-to-market and reduce impact on OEM.'s development resources.
