Traffic Control Email Security

Traffic Control is carrier-grade email security software, protecting enterprises and service providers from the high costs and end user frustration caused by spam. Processing up to 10 million messages per hour and 100,000 concurrent SMTP connections, Traffic Control supports millions of users on a single CPU.

A Disruptive First Layer of Defense

Traffic Control slows down suspicious and unknown email senders using a technique known as traffic shaping. With their connection speed reduced to just a few bytes per second, spammers quickly give up and move on to spam other, less well-protected networks.
