InputGate Cloud Protection
InputGate is a third-party cloud-based spam and abuse detection service associated with MASPIK and designed to help detect sophisticated spam, phishing attempts, fake leads, automated submissions, marketing abuse, and malicious form activity in real time.
When enabled, MASPIK securely connects to the InputGate network to analyze form submissions and request activity through multiple advanced protection layers and real-time threat analysis systems.
InputGate operates as an external security and spam detection service integrated with MASPIK.
How InputGate Works
When cloud protection is enabled, selected form submission and request data is securely transmitted to the InputGate network for real-time protection analysis.
The system evaluates submissions using multiple detection methods, including:
- IP reputation analysis
- behavioral and automation detection
- request fingerprinting
- AI-assisted spam analysis
- phishing and impersonation detection
- suspicious marketing and lead abuse detection
- threat intelligence signals
- abuse pattern recognition
After analysis, InputGate returns a protection result to MASPIK in real time, helping identify and block unwanted or suspicious submissions before they reach your inbox.
All communication is encrypted and transmitted securely over HTTPS.
Why Use InputGate?
Modern spam and abuse attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
Many automated systems now imitate real user behavior, generate AI-written messages, rotate IP addresses, and bypass traditional spam filtering methods.
InputGate adds an additional cloud-based intelligence layer that helps detect:
- AI-generated spam
- fake business inquiries
- phishing attempts
- affiliate and marketing abuse
- automated bot submissions
- malicious form activity
- low-volume targeted spam campaigns
- suspicious lead generation behavior
We strongly recommend enabling InputGate for websites that regularly receive contact form spam or business lead abuse.
Business Context (Optional)
InputGate supports optional business context information to improve filtering accuracy.
You can provide information about your website, audience, business type, or expected inquiry types so the system can better distinguish legitimate submissions from suspicious or irrelevant activity.
Examples:
- “Local law firm accepting English inquiries only”
- “B2B SaaS company receiving technical leads”
- “Hebrew-only service website”
- “Local repair business serving customers in Germany”
Providing context may help improve overall detection quality.
Privacy & Data Processing
InputGate is a third-party cloud-based spam and abuse detection service associated with MASPIK and designed with privacy and data minimization principles in mind.
Submitted data is processed exclusively for spam detection, abuse prevention, and security-related purposes.
Legitimate submissions are processed transiently in real time and are not permanently stored by the service.
When activity is identified as spam or abuse, limited technical indicators may be temporarily retained for network-wide protection, reputation analysis, and abuse prevention purposes.
This may include:
- IP reputation indicators
- abuse detection signals
- request fingerprints
- technical security metadata
InputGate does not use submitted content for advertising, profiling, or marketing purposes.

Infrastructure & Security
InputGate operates on Cloudflare’s global edge infrastructure using Cloudflare Workers and related cloud services.
The distributed infrastructure allows fast, secure, and real-time protection with low latency and global availability.
All communication between MASPIK and InputGate is encrypted over HTTPS.
Best Practices
For best protection results:
- Enable InputGate together with MASPIK’s local protection layers
- Continue using honeypot and validation protections
- Review spam logs periodically
- Provide business context when relevant
- Keep MASPIK updated to the latest version
InputGate works best as part of MASPIK’s multi-layer protection system.
