The Barrier Group's Barrier1 Intelligent Threat Management (ITM) Appliance Achieves 99.9% Effectiveness Against Spam
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, 4 March 2008 —
The Barrier Group announces a major breakthrough in the battle against spam, intrusions and viruses. A comprehensive IT Security Appliance that is able to become more effective against threats over time. It can learn and then predict without ongoing human interaction achieving heretofore unseen levels of effectiveness. Barrier1 customers are reporting 99.9 % accuracy in the battle against spam whereas leading anti-spam manufacturers report only 67– 97 % effective accuracy.
The Barrier1 comprehensive security appliance is driven by The Barrier Groups proprietary patent pending analytics software which is able to listen, learn, predict and react. This allows the Barrier1 software to better understand the threats facing a customer’s network over time hence allowing the product to become increasing effective against spam, viruses and other types of malicious intrusion. When the product is first installed it is achieving 95 – 97 % accuracy in the battle against spam. As the Barrier1 software is able to analyze the incoming traffic over a period of time the accuracy improves finally achieving these unprecedented levels.
“Barrier1 is the next generation, the future of IT Security. IT Security can no longer be one step behind the threat. It must be one step ahead. Our customers ranging from government to education to banking validate the effectiveness of Barrier1 against not only spam but viruses and intrusions of all kinds.” said Steve Sahl, Chief Executive Officer of The Barrier Group
