Symantec has announced Symantec Brightmail Anti-Spam
Version 6.0.
Version 6.0 is designed to further protect enterprises from the
latest spamming techniques, by providing new non-English language
filters and powerful administration enhancements.
Symantec Brightmail Anti-Spam 6.0 now includes a centralised
web-based control centre, consolidated logging and reporting, and
global policies that can be created on a per-user or per-group
basis.
"Symantec Brightmail Anti-Spam 6.0 demonstrates Symantec's
commitment to providing its customers with the most innovative and
technically proficient anti-spam solution on the market," says
Enrique Salem, senior vice-president: gateway solutions,
Symantec.
"While improving defence against spam is critical, another area
of great importance to [users] is creating operational efficiencies
for spam defense," says Matt Cain, senior vice-president, Meta
Group.
Symantec estimates that between 10% and 20% of all global spam
is non-English, making non-English spam a critical issue for any
company, especially in countries where English is not the primary
language.
According to Symantec, Brightmail Anti-Spam 6.0 can identify
messages in Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, enabling the
software to run only the filters that apply to the message’s
language and increasing the performance of Symantec's foreign
language filtering capabilities.
