Social Networks – Solutions
Cloudmark Solutions for Social Networks
Hundreds of millions have embraced social networking services as a convenient way to share personal information with old and new acquaintances. While these online communities have successfully created innovative and real-time ways to communicate, they have also opened the door to many forms of Internet abuse, including targeted spam and phishing attacks using advanced social engineering techniques which leverage the vast amount of personal information published to these sites by network users.
Cloudmark is the only commercially deployed messaging infrastructure and security solution that addresses the unique threats targeting social networks. Cloudmark solutions seamlessly deploy in social network environments to address issues such as hijacked user account abuse, user to user messaging, and spam profile content prevalent in social networks.
Site Integrity
The rich variety of communication channels along with the inherent trust that members have in their social networks often result in far more victims falling prey to spam and phishing scams than in traditional email environments. Cloudmark provides protection against messaging threats across all user generated content vectors. By leveraging Cloudmark’s content filtering and reputation services, malicious activity — fraudulent profiles, mechanized signups, and veiled spam content published to legitimate looking user profiles — can easily and quickly be identified.
Secure Intra-Community Messaging
Traditional email filtering systems simply cannot handle the scale of daily user to user interactions, or the range of communication vectors — friend invitations, chats, posts, bulletins, applications and profiles — offered by leading social networking sites. As leaders in messaging infrastructure and security, Cloudmark solutions flexibly integrate with site-specific implementations of intra-community messaging within social networking environments.
Site to Internet Email
New capabilities offered by social networking sites that enable bidirectional site to traditional email destinations open a new avenue for cross messaging medium abuse. As leaders in messaging infrastructure and security solutions, Cloudmark supports expedited implementation of secure email systems that interoperate with highly unique social network environments.
