Anti-spam software refers to computer programs or tools specifically engineered to identify and filter out unsolicited or unwanted email messages, commonly referred to as spam. These software solutions utilize a variety of techniques to analyze incoming emails and ascertain whether they originate from legitimate senders or are potentially harmful or irrelevant.
The primary types of anti-spam software are categorized as on-premise and cloud-based solutions. On-premise refers to the deployment of software, hardware, or infrastructure within the physical premises or facilities of an organization. This deployment model is utilized across various organizational types, including small and medium-sized enterprises as well as large enterprises, and serves multiple applications such as individual, enterprise, government, and others.
