A successful intrusion attempt amounts to a compromise of the machine, which will in turn incur cost of productivity, recovery and damage to the NUS image.
This in-house developed mechanism automatically detects traces, identifies intruding culprits and lodges reports to the relevant authorities. The mechanism not only frees the incident handler the manual work, it also uplifts the credibility and image of NUS information security incident handling and response capability.

NUS NoSpamMail takes a central but user-centric approach that tightly integrates with the NUSmail, detects and redirects suspected spam emails, and consolidates them into a Spam folder automatically with an ageing limit of 30 days.
The management of the Spam folder is left to the discretion of the individual user. It also incorporates sophisticated heuristic rules and artificial intelligence to analyze email header and content based on multiple levels of characteristics to produce spam confidence rating.
An annual cost saving of S$550,000 was achieved, through interpreting 200 hours of staff and students productivity saved daily.
