Recurrent Pattern Detection

RPD™Technology

Commtouch's email protection strategy is based on the most fundamental characteristic of all spam and malware – their mass distribution over the Internet.

Rather than evaluating each individual message, Recurrent Pattern Detection technology analyzes large volumes of Internet traffic in real-time. New spam and malware outbreaks are identified as soon as they emerge, and recorded in the Commtouch Detection Center.

Commtouch Gateways and Commtouch Engines, deployed by customers worldwide, query the Commtouch Detection Center and receive message classification in real-time. The result is instant protection from new outbreaks – far ahead of signatures or software updates.

Leading messaging and security vendors have licensed or embedded Commtouch's RPD technology, which protects millions of users worldwide. RPD (Pattern Detection) is recognized by key industry analysts as a leading technology in email outbreak detection. It achieves the industry's best detection/accuracy performance (Osterman Research) and "detects and blocks spam in the first few minutes of an outbreak, unlike other anti-spam approaches" (IDC).

Commtouch technology is equally effective against spam, fraud, Phishing and malware. As long as the threat or spam is mass-distributed over the Internet, Commtouch's RPD technology can detect and block it. Technological benefits include:

	Equally effective for all languages and formats

	Real-time Gateway Protection from the very first moment a new outbreak emerges
