Currently, spam protection has been applied using three main methods:
message content analysis; sender’s reputation;
and challenge response, where email senders need to prove to the
recipient who they are. Anti-spam systems today rarely reach more than
95-98 percent accuracy, which — considering
the huge volume of email sent — still lets
through a significant amount of spam, says Stella. The new Network Box technology is based on the relationship management
concept but greatly improves on it by considering not only the sender,
recipient and IP address relationship — as
does the traditional technology. Instead, it analyzes and learns from
the behavior of both the sender and the recipient, and it
constantly learns from users’ behaviors. “Spam is an ever-changing target and not
well-defined,” adds Stella. “The
traditional way of catching spam is to analyze what spammers are sending
and create appropriate signatures; this means spammers always have an
edge. Although Network Box still uses signatures for final
determination, our new technology is resilient to changes in spammers’
approaches.

In a report issued last week by Talent
Management analyst firm Bersin & Associates, Taleo Performance was
praised for market leadership on crucial usability and technology
metrics. Also — increasingly important in this volatile economic
market — Bersin endorsed Taleo for its company strength, growth and
profitability as a vendor more likely to endure. Bersin & Associates’ “High-Impact Performance Management 2009: State
of the Market, Practices and Buyer’s Guide,” issued last week,
provides market analysis, outlook and predictions and well as
side-by-side in-depth profiles and comparisons of 24 talent
management vendors. In the report, Taleo Performance — the company’s enterprise-class
offering, first shipped in February, 2008, with the second major
release announced last week — is called out for completeness of
product offering and leadership across Bersin’s criteria in both
performance and succession planning capabilities as well as user
experience.
