Commtouch Opens Email Security Blog to the Public to Share Insights and Early Warnings: Celebrates a Year of Blogging with Anti-Spam Cartoon
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (Business Wire EON) January 15, 2008 -- The public launch is celebrated with an Anti-Spam Cartoon; a short animated clip about Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection(TM) technology, viewable at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnD50mSvLPk .
The blog has provided a crucial communication resource internally for Commtouch employees since last January, and has been a running commentary on email security issues such as MP3 spam, holiday spam, and how to catch a zombie quickly. Commtouch decided to open the blog to the public to serve as an email security resource for the media, partners, and anyone interested in gaining insight into email trends, and potential early warning of new threats directly from the experts.
"Today email threats spread around the world in a matter of minutes. With Commtouch's unique view of over a billion email messages per day, we can rapidly spot developing trends and provide warning of new threats," said Rebecca Steinberg Herson, vice president of marketing at Commtouch. "The Commtouch Cafe blog allows the experts at Commtouch - many of whom typically work behind the scenes - to share their knowledge in a broad forum."
The blog is expected to be an essential resource for Commtouch's network of licensing partners, as well as the media and industry analysts; it provides descriptive data and knowledgeable commentary about emerging spam and malware outbreaks, and the zombie or bot networks used to distribute and host them.
To access the latest email security data and commentary, visit the Commtouch Cafe: http://blog.commtouch.com/cafe/
The blog is the latest in a series of freely available tools provided by Commtouch, including:
-- Malware Outbreak Center - provides comparative catch-time data about recent email-borne virus outbreaks
-- Real-Time Outbreak Monitor - displays the location and content of spam outbreaks in a real time feed from Commtouch's Global Detection Centers
-- Spam Lab Online Statistics - 12-month view of the size of outbreaks, top spam sending countries and top spam sending domains
-- Spam Cost Calculator - organizations can input their own parameters and calculate how much spam is costing them

The Web 2.0, phase was first coined by O?Reilly Media, while brainstorming idea?s on next generation web-based technologies in 2003, and was popularised by the first web 2.0 conferences which took place in Amsterdam in October 2004.
