(06/08/2009)
Over the past three years, MySpace has taken aggressive steps to protect its users and combat spam, phishing and viruses that threaten the MySpace user community.
Cloudmark, Inc. has announced that MySpace has selected Cloudmark’s CloudFilter™ managed email security platform to operate, manage and secure the newly launched MySpace Mail. With CloudFilter™, MySpace extends its existing security investment beyond Cloudmark Authority™.
The CloudFilter™ solution enables MySpace to provide users with a premium mail service backed by industry-leading messaging security accuracy. CloudFilter™, a managed email security solution, delivers zero-hour protection using carrier-grade sender reputation data, advanced content filtering and proven messaging policies. With the launch of MySpace Mail, the company is ensuring Mail users would have optimal protection from day one.
“MySpace has always taken an aggressive approach to privacy and we are committed to ensuring MySpace Mail has the same level of security for our users that we have employed throughout our site,” said Rajit Marwah, director of product management for MySpace Mail. “Cloudmark’s proven technology is a vital part in our approach to providing users with a trusted and secure Mail experience.”
The new MySpace Mail blends the best of social networking and traditional mail. MySpace is supplying users with @myspace.com mail addresses, enabling them to securely send and receive messages to and from friends both inside and outside the MySpace network.
“We applaud MySpace’s holistic and proactive approach to ensuring the protection of their vast user community,” said Hugh McCartney, chief executive officer at Cloudmark. “Making security a top priority and ensuring the best user experience will certainly enhance the adoption of MySpace Mail. By leveraging Cloudmark’s proven technology and expertise in deploying and managing large-scale security infrastructures for carrier networks across the globe, MySpace IT staff can rest assured they are taking every measure possible to protect their network’s integrity.”
