Deploys Memova Anti-Abuse to protect its email users against viruses, spam and other malicious attacks.
Critical Path, Inc., a provider of messaging software and services, yesterday announced that Mediaset SpA, a broadcasting group, has deployed Memova Anti-Abuse to protect the users of its consumer email service, Jumpy, against viruses, spam and other malicious attacks.
According to Mediaset, it turned to Memova Anti-Abuse solution designed by Critical Path specifically for service providers. Memova Anti-Abuse is a plug-and-play anti-virus, anti-spam appliance that combines traffic management capabilities with content analysis. Memova Anti-Abuse sits at the network gateway and stops malicious attacks, viruses and spam before they can enter or exit Mediaset's messaging systems.
Memova Anti-Abuse enables service providers to stop abuse and provide a better email experience for consumers, while minimizing operational costs, claims the company. Critical Path's new Memova Anti-Abuse solution is installed at Postecom in Italy, O2 in Germany, Hemro Associates in the UK, and La Poste in France.
"Memova Anti-Abuse has dramatically improved the email experience for our users," said Emanuele Callioni, Mediaset Service Platform Manager for the Jumpy Portal. "With the solution seamlessly integrated with our existing messaging platform, we avoid the risk of bottlenecks. We've reduced spam by more than 95%, and at the same time, we've lowered our storage requirements by 40%, and we are doing all of this at one-third the cost of alternative anti-abuse solutions. Memova has been great for our business."
