Commtouch's Unique Real-Time Outbreak Protection

Based on RPD™ (Recurrent Pattern Detection) and other proprietary technologies, the Commtouch Detection Center analyzes the distribution patterns of billions of email messages per month. Based on these patterns, Commtouch identifies new malware outbreaks-as soon as they are introduced into the Internet. The result is that users are protected from emerging malware in real-time, all the time. For example, viruses are detected and blocked within minutes, hours before signatures are released.

Commtouch's Unique Real-Time Technology

Commtouch has developed and implemented Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD™), a proprietary technology that has been recognized by independent research groups and industry analysts as a ground-breaking messaging security strategy. What makes RPD unique is that-by proactively probing the Internet and analyzing the distribution patterns of billions of messages each month-it instantly identifies emerging malware attacks. This makes it possible to block new outbreaks in real-time-be they viruses, spam, Phishing, fraud or any other type of malware. Other benefits of the Commtouch approach is that it is immune to emerging foiling attempts, and is language and format agnostic. As long as a message is part of a mass distribution outbreak, the Commtouch email security engine can detect and block it.
