IMS - Intelligent Multi Scan Feature

[Marijo Bartakovic]

I need some more (technical) details about the feature IMS for the Secure Email Gateway.

The information on the official site is very general... So a few questions here:

- Is this a 3rd-party feed from a specific vendor (former Cloudmark)?

- Are these only signatures or also a custom engine?

- Does the safe/blocklist still work as before?

- Are there any official numbers on the added effectiveness for detecting spam from your end?

It would be great if someone could provide me some documents where I can read more details about those feature.

Thanks in advance!

Compare IMS to Ironport AntiSpam on steroids.

Instead of having 3 sources you will now check every message against 7 TALOS sources.

The overall impact for us is that our SPAM detection rate went up by another 10-15%, compared to not using IMS.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.
