Image Spam: The Latest Attack on the Enterprise Inbox

Overview The recent surge in spam volumes is due in large part to the advancement in image spam technology. In keeping with their standard operating tactics, spammers are constantly creating new techniques either in response to, or in advance of, anti-spam software solutions. By avoiding reliance on Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and applying TrustedSource reputation to each sender and message encountered, IronMail is able to block more image spam, at a higher rate and with lower false positives than any other gateway security provider. By combining years of industry-leading research with the power of Secure Computing's global network of sensors, TrustedSource continues its tradition of keeping enterprises ahead of spammers and other lurking threats.
