******************************************************************
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management
solutions, announces that Kaspersky Anti-Spam 3.0 a solution which
provides spam protection for corporate mail systems and public email
services, has successfully passed certification tests held by respected
American laboratory ICSA Labs. Based on the results of the tests
Kaspersky Anti-Spam 3.0 was recognized as ICSA Labs Certified.
The goal of ICSA Labs anti-spam product testing and certification
is to evaluate product effectiveness in detecting spam. To be recognized
as ICSA Labs Certified the anti-spam solution must completely satisfy
the necessary requirements of effectively detecting 95% of spam with a 1
in 100,000 false positive rate. Only six products from different
vendors, including Kaspersky Anti-Spam, successfully passed the first
round of testing.
The requirements for the testing are based on a new anti-spam testing
and certification program that was developed with the participation of
the independent consortium of anti-spam vendors: the Anti-Spam Product
Developers Consortium. The Consortium was created under the aegis
of the world famous ICSA Labs, which sets standards and certifies
information security products. The goal of the Consortium is to work out
objective standards to evaluate the products effectiveness, to
exchange knowledge among antivirus developers and to provide a
third-party information source to help the anti-spam user community to
effectively defend against spam. As one of the cofounders of the
Consortium, Kaspersky Lab actively participates in the development of
anti-Spam Certification criteria.
"Today anti-spam solutions have become an integral and vital
element of a comprehensive protection against internet threats.
Thats why common criteria and standards for estimating the
quality of anti-spam solutions are becoming increasingly important for
the entire IT threats-protection industry and our end-users" said
Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab.
"I am glad to state that the Consortium succeeded in developing a
comprehensive set of impartial criteria for testing anti-spam products,
and our solution Kaspersky Anti-Spam 3.0 passed all of the certification
tests, based on these criteria, with honor". For more details
