One of the world's largest MMORPG publishers uses iovation to keep their games safe for their valued players, and the fraudsters out.

One of the leading and fastest growing suppliers of systems for online betting, casino, poker and bingo uses iovation to combat online fraud and abuse.

After $20,000 in direct losses and who knows how many lost opportunities, we just couldn't stay in reaction mode. We went looking for a proactive solution and found iovation. We were drawn to the idea of sharing fraud profiles with other subscribers. Plus, the fraud checking is done in real time and it scales to volume which eased my concerns about customer impact. Implementation was straightforward. Preventing half the fraud attempts each month pays for the system; we've seen a 95% reduction in our chargeback rate in 8 months.

Securing your email is a complex process that takes time and uses resources that can be better deployed elsewhere in your business. Moving on-premise email security into the cloud not only saves time and money, but also reduces risk and takes advantages of economies of scale to deliver an effective, dedicated security platform that unshackles users and releases the potential of your mail.

The market for cloud-based IT infrastructure services delivered in a software-as-a-service model continues to grow. IDC research indicates this model of IT delivery is disrupting traditional licensed software markets and changing how archiving, backup, recovery, and security technologies are procured.

According to experts at TrendLabs, spam now makes up close to 95% of all email and continues to grow. In the first three months of 2008 spam rates almost doubled over rates observed at the end of 2007 and TrendLabs predicts that average daily spam volumes will increase by 30 to 50 billion messages per day within the year.1 As spam continues to grow at dramatic rates, traditional on-premise email security products are failing to keep up. This limitation is one of the primary reasons that IDC predicts demand for hosted security solutions -also known as SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions-will grow by more than 30% annually through 2012.2 For context, the growth rate for hosted email security is projected to be more than eight times that of the traditional software email security market, and more than 60% faster than appliance-based email security solutions.
