Cloudmark announced the availability of Cloudmark SafetyBar 4.0, the easy-to-use, most award winning anti-spam and anti-fraud solution for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.
SafetyBar, backed by the first and largest community of spam and fraud fighters, protects more than one million users in 72 countries from spam, fraud and all email threats before harm is done. To free your Inbox from spam and fraud, download a free SafetyBar trial. The SafetyBar trial is designed to block spam free for 30 days and will continue to provide free fraud protection indefinitely.
Forrester, an independent technology research group, estimates that phishing, a technique whereby a perpetrator sends out legitimate-looking emails appearing to come from well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies in an effort to obtain personal and financial information from the recipient, is becoming an increasingly popular mechanism for committing fraud and identity theft. The result of these scams is that consumers suffer credit card fraud, identity theft and financial loss. According to Forrester, identity theft crimes have grown nearly sevenfold in the past three years, costing U.S. businesses and consumers a total of more than $50 billion per year.
"As financial institutions and service providers work to find a solution to fraud and identity theft, protecting individual users is imperative," said Teney Takahashi, Market Analyst with the Radicati Group. "We're glad to see that Cloudmark is turning its effective anti-spam solutions against the dangerous threats of fraud and identify theft, thereby protecting end users before it reaches their Inbox."
Cloudmark SafetyBar, formerly SpamNet, stands alone as the world's most award-winning desktop solution, by scoring the highest accuracy rate in PC Magazine's last four reviews, while registering consecutive zero false positives in the magazine's last two reviews. SafetyBar remains undefeated as the best spam protection this year having consistently garnered top accuracy to win PC World's Best Buy, PC World 2004 World Class Award for Best Spam Filter, PC Magazine's Editor's Choice and PC Magazine's 5 Stars for accuracy among other industry awards.
"Cloudmark is committed to maintaining the best solution in the industry which means protecting our users from all email born threats before they attack," said Karl Jacob, CEO for Cloudmark. "We've done this all along with great success, but the new SafetyBar adds increased protection, empowering users to fight back against fraud too."
"Cloudmark provides a truly comprehensive email security solution -- stopping all harmful email messages, not just spam," said Paul Kowal, President of Kowal Associates. "It feels great to be a part of the Cloudmark community, making a difference against the frighteningly dangerous problems of fraud and the other email threats that plague the Internet."
