Proofpoint MLX™ TechnologyAdvanced Machine LearningThe power behind Proofpoint's enterprise messaging security solutions-Proofpoint MLX-is an advanced, patent-pending machine learning system developed by the scientists at the Proofpoint Attack Response Center. Based on advanced statistical techniques including logistic regression and information gain analysis, Proofpoint MLX enables the accurate classification and identification of unstructured content, as found in email and other documents. Unparalleled accuracyProofpoint MLX is the basis for the unrivalled anti-spam accuracy delivered by the Proofpoint Spam Detection module. Using MLX, Proofpoint analyzes hundreds of thousands of structural, image, content and reputation attributes to accurately differentiate between spam and valid messages. Traditional anti-spam solutions evaluate only a limited number of attributes and are unable to decisively classify spam, leading to low effectiveness and a high rate of false positives. Futureproof intelligenceProofpoint's intelligent anti-spam technology continually updates itself to defend against new forms of spam. Ongoing self-training and new techniques developed by Proofpoint scientists allow MLX to predict and adapt to new forms of spam as they appear. MLX updates are automatically delivered to all customers several times per day. As a result, Proofpoint MLX offers 99.8% or higher effectiveness—even against the most difficult forms of image-based spam, attachment-based spam, spam "backscatter" and foreign language spam. Unlike other anti-spam solutions, Proofpoint's ability to defend against spam attacks does not degrade over time-and updates to the MLX anti-spam engine are automatically delivered to your enterprise on a regular basis. Proofpoint MLX is constantly evolving to counter emerging threats, ensuring that your messaging infrastructure is secure against tomorrow's spammers as well as today's. Proofpoint MLX also powers the advanced content security features of the Proofpoint Digital Asset Security module and the intelligent perimeter security features of the Proofpoint Email Firewall and Dynamic Reputation service. Proofpoint is the only vendor to apply these powerful machine learning techniques to email security and data loss prevention.
