Sunnyvale, California-based Commtouch, an e-mail and Web defense group with offices in Israel, reportedly has announced that it hit number 32 on the Deloitte (News - Alert) Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2008, a rating of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The UTM solutions provider claims to use Commtouch RPDTM technology to analyse large volumes of internet traffic in real-time. Unlike traditional spam filters, the technology does not rely on e-mail content, and is hence able to detect spam in any language, and in every message format, Cyberoam said. 

A new mail spam report from Commtouch (CTCH) says China is a top location for zombie IP addresses.

The first quarter of 2008 saw an increased trend for spammers and malware developers to leverage legitimate content sites in order to bypass email filters, according to a report released by Commtouch.
