The Deep Six anti-spam utilizes Deep Six's patent pending analysis engine to produce a highly accurate and very scalable method for determining the legitimacy of e-mail sources.

This platform is comprised of several components which work together to enable the high performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness of the Deep Six Anti-Spam Gateway appliances.

Reference Database: Derived from a network of numerous listening posts and manually reviewed, the Deep Six reference database represents a comprehensive and highly accurate reputation database and serves as the reference for the production of extremely effective filters.

The reference database enables the computation of a general solution that offers a high degree of accuracy across a wide variety of mail climates.




Sophisticated Analysis Engine: The Deep Six analysis engine is a highly sophisticated analysis tool that mathematically solves the reputation of an Internet mail server in terms of numerous connection attributes and DNSBL states.

This analysis engine is at the heart of the Deep Six appliance platform's ability to reliably and efficiently make highly accurate decisions regarding the legitimacy of inbound mail connections.




Reputation Solver: The Analytical Reputation Solver works to produce a computer friendly representation of unique spam indicators in terms of DNSBL states and connection attributes.

This permits the large amount of data in the reference database to be quickly analyzed in a highly optimized and efficient manner. This efficiency allows the exploration of numerous permutations through thousands of generations of analysis.




Filter Reduction Stage: The Deep Six filter reduction stage takes the deductions produced by earlier stages and reduces them to filter coefficients that are computationally friendly and expedient.

The filter reduction stage permits the reference database's accumulated knowledge about e-mail sources to be exploited by the lightweight appliance platform used in the Deep Six Anti-Spam Gateways.




Real Time Filter Execution Module: The Deep Six Real Time Filter module resides within all Deep Six devices and makes possible the real time application of the analysis platform's learning's upon every email transaction destined for a protected network.

The Real Time Filter Execution Module is a highly optimized component suitable for use in the embedded environment of the Deep Six Anti-Spam Gateway.




Deep Six Appliance Platform: The Deep Six Appliance platform takes the product of the analysis platform and puts it to practical use in protecting your mail infrastructure from the distraction of spam. To learn more about the Deep Six Appliance platform, visit our product pages.
