IronPort. Making The Internet Safe.™

IronPort Systems is the leading email and Web security products provider for organizations ranging from small businesses to the Global 2000. IronPort provides high performance, easy-to-use, and technically innovative products for those faced with the monumental task of managing and protecting their mission-critical networks from Internet threats.

IronPort Systems was founded in 2000 by pioneers in Internet messaging. With technical staff from companies such as Hotmail, eGroups, ListBot, and Yahoo!, IronPort's mission is to revolutionize Internet messaging.

Great companies are often defined not by what they do, but what they don't do. IronPort has been successful because of its laser focus on unique technologies such as SenderBase and AsyncOS. To complement these unique technologies, IronPort has developed the strongest partnerships in the industry. This combination of proprietary technology and best-of-breed partnerships will allow us to deliver on the vision of Total Messaging Security as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Over 100,000 organizations participate in the SenderBase Network, enabling the world's largest email traffic monitoring system.

Uniquely Powered by SenderBase

SenderBase is the world's first and largest email traffic monitoring service. SenderBase collects data from more than 100,000 ISPs, universities, and corporations around the world. SenderBase measures more than 110 different parameters for any email server on the Internet. This massive database receives more than 5 billion queries per day, with real-time data streaming in from every continent and network providers large and small. SenderBase has the most accurate view of the sending patterns of any given mail sender because of the size of the database, and conversely the database is the world's largest because of the accuracy of the data. IronPort licenses SenderBase data to the open-source community and other institutions that are participating in the fight against spam.

Uniquely Powered by AsyncOS™

All IronPort Email Security appliances are powered by IronPort's proprietary operating system AsyncOS™. AsyncOS™ has a unique stackless threading model that allows each appliance to support more than 10,000 simultaneous connections. Founded on a rock-solid UNIX™-based kernel stripped of all non-essential components, AsyncOS is also built for security--ensuring that hackers can't take advantage of your systems.
