March 2012 by Marc Jacob
ZEROSPAM Security is proud to announce that it just obtained the prestigious VBSpam certification from Virus Bulletin. With this first participation in the VBSpam program, the ZEROSPAM solution reached a global score of 99.56% and finished in 5th place among all participating companies, ahead of such rivals as GFI, Sophos, Symantec, FortiMail and McAfee.
“It’s almost impossible to get a reliable efficiency rate, declared David Poellhuber, president and COO of ZEROSPAM Security, unless you go through a third party. We are thus extremely pleased because the efficiency of our solution is now certified, demonstrated and firmly established. It makes us very proud. We strive to improve our architecture and detection techniques on an on-going basis and we will continue to do so because, in the fight against spam, one can never rest.”
When a customer evaluates different providers, the solution’s efficiency plays a key role. But IT managers also take other aspects into account, technical support for instance. ZEROSPAM has a reputation for outstanding technical support. Virus Bulletin’s comments about the ZEROSPAM solution also mention the ease of use of the client interface, the fact that each domain has multiple MX records which ensures full redundancy and the fact that the ZEROSPAM network is entirely located in Canada. Virus Bulletin qualified that first result as impressive.
ABOUT Virus Bulletin
Based in the UK, Virus Bulletin started in 1989 as a magazine dedicated to the detection and prevention of malware. The magazine quickly became an industry reference. For many years now, Virus Bulletin has also been providing independent tests and ratings for antivirus products. In 2009, the company lauched VBSpam, a program that evaluates the performance of anti-spam solutions. That program enjoys considerable brand awareness and some of the leading companies in the anti-spam business take part in it.
