Abaca World's Most Effective Spam Filter

Breakthrough solution stops a growing new spam threat—virtually error-free

Can you afford to let 1,000 attacks per day inside your network?

Today, spam is more profitable than ever, causing email-based attacks to become much more frequent, sophisticated, and dangerous. However, current spam-filtering systems seldom catch more than 98% of the spam received without causing a large number of false positives.

Conventional spam catch rates are no longer acceptable 

This 98% spam block rate means that you are allowing 2% of all email-based threats inside your network. For example, if you have over 2,000 employees, you probably get over 1M messages a day. If only 5% contain links that lead to malware being installed on users' desktops or users' accounts being phished, you are allowing over 1,000 attacks per day to enter your network. First-generation anti-spam tools leave networks exposed to unacceptable levels of spam email because they focus on content and blacklists. Today’s highly motivated spammers quickly learn to circumvent the latest content rules. Abaca does not rely on any of these conventional methods, and can stop virtually all of these email-based threats.

Abaca is different 

Abaca's unique approach to spam filtering is based on a simple insight: on average, spammers must send to people who get more spam than the average recipient. By looking at who a message is sent to, and not what is being sent, we can very accurately determine if a message is spam or not.

Abaca looks at who the spammer sends to and not what is being sent. So it cannot be fooled by content.

This approach works amazingly well in practice. Abaca protects over 50 million mailboxes worldwide from spam with an average user-reported error rate of less than one mistake for every 10,000 emails received. This is between 25 and 100 times better protection than most anti-spam systems on the market.

Since all spam filters make mistakes, it is important that any false positives be easy to find. Abaca makes finding those critical emails easy by sorting the messages in the spam quarantine based upon their likelihood of being spam.
