Content Detection Accuracy Competitive Evaluation

Abstract

Tablus, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to measure the accuracy of the company’s Content Alarm NW, a server-based appliance designed to prevent the loss of sensitive corporate data by monitoring and blocking transmissions from a corporate network.

Tolly Group engineers measured the accuracy of Content Alarm NW against Symantec Corp.’s Mail Security 8240. Tests focused on measuring “recall,” the product’s ability to correctly identify all documents that contain sensitive information and “precision,” or the percentage of retrieved documents that are sensitive and relevant. Tests were conducted in June 2007.
