CipherTrust has unveiled a free software plug-in for e-mail clients that thwarts spam, phishing and fraud, while promising to safeguard legitimate mail. the TrustedSource Toolbar ushers monitoring, alerting and reporting capabilities to the desktop, and provides end users with information to determine if a message is from a trusted, legitimate source.
The new toolbar focuses on the end user’s first point of contact with a potentially-fraudulent or -malicious message, providing almost an immediate recommendation on the legitimacy of these e-mails. CipherTrust also announced the launch of the CipherTrust Research Portal, a new messaging security community portal that includes spam, phishing and virus statistics, access to TrustedSource.org, SpamArchive.org, whitepapers, news and other industry resources.
“The real-time nature of reputation reporting for every e-mail in an inbox gives users another source of information on which to base their decisions about the legitimacy of the e-mail they receive.", said Michael Osterman, founder and principal of Osterman Research, Inc.
Some of the features of the TrustedSource Toolbar include:
Graphical Reputation Indicator – leverages proprietary technology to classify the reputation of an incoming message in order to immediately identify any potential threats
Spam and Phishing Reporting – offers an easy way for end users to flag and report spam and phishing attacks, influencing global sender reputations
Flexible Support – supports multiple mail clients including Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, with Web-based mail support to follow
The TrustedSource Toolbar is a free resource download to all end users currently using e-mail communications – regardless of whether they are current CipherTrust customers or not.
