LONDON -- Cloudmark, a global provider of carrier-grade messaging security, today opens its European headquarters in Chiswick, South West London. The move cements Cloudmark’s commitment to the European market and will enable the company to expand European sales and offer local support to existing service provider customers, which include THUS/Demon, Tele2, UPC Chello, FastWeb and intY.

Cloudmark’s European expansion follows a revenue growth of 110% over the past year. With new European customers already in the pipeline, Cloudmark has appointed Paul Averill as VP of Sales. Bringing with him over 20 years sales experience in the technology and software sector, Paul will drive Cloudmark’s continued European growth directly from the London office. Appointed alongside Paul is Neil Cook, as Head of Technology Services, EMEA. With over 15 years experience in designing and deploying large-scale service provider messaging and directory solutions, Neil will work closely with Paul to provide local technical expertise to Cloudmark’s European customers.

Cloudmark protects networks from all forms of messaging threats, keeping service provider infrastructure and subscriber mailboxes clear of unwanted traffic by blocking spam, virus and phishing attacks in real time. Cloudmark provides security intelligence and filtering at all points in the messaging infrastructure. It combines highly sophisticated Advanced Message Fingerprinting™ technology, which immediately and automatically identifies any new threat and all its mutations, with its Global Threat Network, the largest and most sophisticated in the industry consisting of trusted reporters in 163 countries.

Because the technology uses application and language-agnostic threat analysis, looking at the core structure and content of the message rather than the text, Cloudmark is able to detect threats in any form, format or language. Cloudmark’s automated approach, combining Advanced Message Fingerprinting with real-time, corroborated feedback from the Global Threat Network, is proven to be 20 times faster and 30% more accurate than other solutions.

Paul Averill, VP of Sales, EMEA commented: “Abusive messages now constitutes up to 95% of total email traffic which poses a serious threat to subscriber satisfaction and loyalty. It also affects service providers’ infrastructure and operational costs, creating a drain on resources. Investing in solutions to eliminate all forms of inbound messaging abuse, including spam, phishing and viruses, before they impact email infrastructure and subscriber inboxes can prevent customer churn and reduce these infrastructure overheads.”
