Over the past three years, MySpace has taken aggressive steps to protect its users and combat spam, phishing and viruses that threaten the MySpace user community. The CloudFilter™ solution enables MySpace to provide users with a premium mail service backed by industry-leading messaging security accuracy. CloudFilter™, a managed email security solution, delivers zero-hour protection using carrier-grade sender reputation data, advanced content filtering and proven messaging policies.
