Overview, Goals, and Scope
概述
The VBSpam certification is awarded to products that successfully detect and accurately process spam, newsletters, malicious, and non-malicious email to “provide a unique insight into the performance of the world's leading spam-filtering technologies.” Separately, the VB100 certification—testing of anti-malware capabilities--is “awarded to products that meet the basic standards required to be recognized as legitimate and properly functioning anti-malware solutions.”
In testing conducted in September 2021, Fortinet FortiMail had a spam catch rate of 99.8%, earning a VBSpam+ certification. Fortinet FortiClient detected 100% of malware, earning the VB100 certified status.
