Fortinet is the Leader in Independent Testing Comparison of Secure Email Gateway Solutions for the Eighth Consecutive Test
July 11 2017 - 9:00AM
Michael Xie, founder, president and chief
technology officer, Fortinet “As the primarily method
hackers use to infect enterprise networks with malware, email
continues to be a critical security concern. The effectiveness of
secure email gateway solutions is even more critical today as
high-profile ransomware outbreaks continue to make headlines and
impact businesses globally. As this latest round of testing
continues to show, FortiMail solutions integrated within the
Fortinet Security Fabric consistently deliver world-class
enterprise email protection without impacting legitimate business
communication.”
News Summary: Fortinet® (NASDAQ:FTNT), the
global leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, today
announced its eighth consecutive VBSpam+ certification, leading all
15 solutions tested with a final score of 99.997% in Virus
Bulletin’s latest VBSpam comparative review.
- Fortinet’s FortiMail secure email gateway caught 99.997% of all
spam and blocked 100% of the 1,958 malware samples hidden within
the emails with no false positives.
- The VBSpam test was conducted over 19 days and consisted of
218,231 emails. Of these, 209,468 were spam with the remainder
composed of legitimate emails and newsletters.
- Email continues to be one of the primary sources for
introducing malware into a network environment. Email security
appliances need to provide bidirectional inspection filtering
without blocking access to legitimate email communications.
The First Line of Defense Against Email-Based
AttacksEmail remains the number one delivery method for
malware and Fortinet’s Threat Landscape report shows that most
ransomware infection attempts are perpetrated through this vector.
Fortinet’s Secure Email Gateway, FortiMail, is integrated with the
Fortinet Security Fabric which enables the sharing of both global
and local threat intelligence between FortiMail and the rest of
Fortinet’s Advanced Threat Protection framework including
FortiSandbox. This unique approach can stop both existing and
previously unseen threats the very first time they reach an
organization or employee, preventing the loss of sensitive and
confidential information.
Fortinet is committed to third-party validation and testing to
assure customers of the efficacy and innovation of their security
offerings. Fortinet’s FortiMail solution has been part of every
VBSpam test conducted by Virus Bulletin. Details of this testing
reveal that Fortinet’s secure email gateway technology has
consistently been certified and validated to provide the highest
levels of spam detection and filtering, with zero false
positives.
