Botnets are the Largest Online Threat Today
The business of botnets is fueling a $67.2 billion dollar cybercrime industry,
according to FBI and Government Accountability Office (GAO) surveys. A botnet is a
network of hacked computers (bots) that are controlled from a central computer,
called a command-and-control (C&C) server, which are used to disseminate commands to
the bots for nefarious purposes. Botnets are one of the most dangerous online
security threats today where 40% of the 800 million computers unsuspectingly
distribute spam, steal private data, launch crippling denial-of-service attacks, and
spread new infections.

Engate's Anti-Botnet Solution Stops Botnets with Industry-leading Accuracy
Engate has pioneered a permanent solution to the spam crisis by eliminating the
ability of botnets and spammers to hide their true identity. As a "Map of the
Internet", Engate's advanced network profiling technology delivers unprecedented
real-time visibility into malicious sources from around the world. Engate's
anti-botnet solution employs patented network profiling, source verification, and
anti-forgery techniques to identify and block email-borne botnet attacks in
real-time and at the network level before the message is transmitted to the private
email server and has a chance to compromise IT resources, drain network bandwidth,
consume storage, and waste user productivity. Engate ensures preemptive and
immediate protection against any creative tactic that may arise now or in the
future.

OEMs Deliver the Highest Accuracy in the Market with Engate
With a leading vision of the email security market, Engate delivers incremental
value to security software, appliance, router, firewall, and UTM vendors by
augmenting their multi-layer security strategy with a deeper layer of anti-botnet
security. Engate's unique network profiling technology empowers OEM vendors to

improving customer renewals and competitive conversions.
