SPAM FILTERING
Unsolicited email in the form of spam costs corporations and government agencies billions of dollars every year. Employees spend time sorting and deleting spam from their regular email while servers and networks have to contend with the extra traffic generated. In addition, spam emails are the most common means with which bots propagate, and often contain malware and links to inappropriate sites.
Fortinet® antispam technology offers a wealth of features to detect, tag, quarantine, and block spam messages and their malicious attachments. FortiMail provides the maximum levels of protection against sophisticated email attacks, and with FortiMail appliance's content archiving functions, assistance with regulatory compliance.
Gulf South with Fortinet applies a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to guard against spam. Global spam filtering is provided through the FortiGuard Antispam service which has access to the Fortinet Global Threat Intelligence database. This global database is constantly updated, enabling Gulf South's Spam Filter to detect and filter most prevailing spam. In addition, customized spam filters can be created to filter email for banned words, blocked and allowed email sender addresses, heuristic rules, and highly sophisticated techniques such as Bayesian training in FortiMail.
