There was another excellent performance from TitanHQ’s email security suite in Q1, 2025, resulting in TitanHQ’s third consecutive VBSpam+ award from VirusBulletin for its email security suite. VirusBulletin is a renowned information security portal, testing, and certification body. VirusBulletin provides security professionals with invaluable intelligence on the latest global cyber threats and conducts independent tests of security solutions to find out how well they perform.
Throughout the year, VirusBulletin continually conducts tests of email security solutions to see how effective they are at blocking spam emails, along with dangerous threats such as phishing and malware. The results of the tests are published each quarter, with the tested email security solutions rated on their performance.
In the Q1, 2025 tests, one-third of the tested security solutions opted to be included in the public test, with the others choosing to keep their results and performances private. In the Q1, 2025, tests, the results from 11 full email security solutions and one open source solution were published. Email security solutions that have a 99.95% spam catch rate with no false positives, no more than 2.5% false positives for newsletters, and fast delivery speeds are awarded the VBSpam+ certification, while a final score of over 98% sees the VBSpam certification awarded.
For the past two quarters preceding the latest round of tests, the engine that powers the SpamTitan anti-spam software and PhishTitan anti-phishing solutions had an exceptional performance, blocking 100% of phishing emails and malware. In Q3, 2024, TitanHQ achieved the joint top spot for final score and finished in sole 1st place in Q4, 2024, with a 100% phishing, malware, and spam catch rate with a 0.00% false positive rate.
In the Q1, 2025, tests, TitanHQ achieved a 100% malware catch rate, a 99.999% phishing catch rate, a 99.997% spam catch rate, and a 0.00% false positive rate, giving an overall score of 99.997%, giving TitanHQ a top 2 ranking, beating solutions such as FortiMail, Mimecast, Zoho Mail, and Sophos Email. “SpamTitan demonstrated exceptional efficacy with only four misclassifications, one of which was a phishing attempt. The product’s outstanding performance earns it VBSpam+ certification,” explained VirusBulletin.
