Description:

Email is your most critical business application and one of the most challenging to protect, but simply blocking spam and viruses is not enough. Comprehensive email security requires defending against sophisticated new attacks, preventing loss of sensitive business data, and protecting your own corporate email reputation.

Going beyond spam and malware filtering, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance combines market-leading email protection with data loss prevention, policy-based controls, and advanced reporting. Powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, Email and Web Security Appliance is armed with the latest proactive defenses against both known and unknown threats. Highly scalable to meet the needs of the most demanding enterprises, yet easily managed, Email and Web Security Appliance provides the highest level of email security with complex features and functionality built in to a simple, user-friendly interface.

Email and Web Security Appliance delivers:

Comprehensive inbound security against all email-borne threats — With its extremely low rate of false positives, Email and Web Security Appliance keeps spam out while accurately delivering legitimate email.

Outbound inspection against reputation-damaging email — Block messages that could negatively impact your corporate email reputation. Infected systems within your network can cause your domain to be blacklisted as an origin of spam and your corporate email to be automatically rejected by your business partners and customers.

Integrated data loss prevention for compliance and policy enforcement — Built-in McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technology includes dictionaries, document fingerprinting, compliance, and validation tools.

Enhanced security powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence — McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) is a comprehensive cloud-based service integrated into McAfee security products. It works in real time, 24 hours a day, to protect customers against cyberthreats across all vectors — file, web, message, and network. McAfee’s GTI network allows enabled products to evaluate threats on multiple vectors in real time, leading to faster identification of threats and higher capture rates. Email and Web Security Appliance uses file reputation, web reputation, message reputation, and network connection reputation services to identify suspicious files, sites hosting undesirable content, infected domains and IP addresses, and email messages carrying malicious payloads.

Email Security and Inspection

More than spam blocking
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance is the industry’s most effective spam filter,1 but it does so much more than that. It also protects your email with advanced anti-virus and malware protection, enforces usage policy, provides compliance tools, protects against zero-day threats, and offers comprehensive reporting and monitoring. And, it does it all in a single, integrated appliance.

Comprehensive and proactive malware protection
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance uses the award-winning McAfee scanning engine to detect, clean, and protect your email from viruses, worms, rootkits, Trojans, and other threats. The McAfee anti-malware engine delivers comprehensive find-and-fix solutions and the automated updates ensure your appliance always has the latest virus signature files and countermeasures in place.

What about malware that is so new no signature yet exists? Not a problem. McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance significantly reduces your exposure to emerging threats with real-time malware protection. Using cloud-based threat intelligence, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance sends a fingerprint of any suspicious file for instant lookup at McAfee Labs. If the fingerprint is identified, a response is sent back to the appliance in milliseconds to block or quarantine a malicious file even before a signature file has been distributed.

Reputational analysis
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance also leverages the reputational analysis from McAfee TrustedSource™, which applies intelligence from email sensors in more than one hundred countries and thousands of gateway security devices around the globe. McAfee TrustedSource identifies spam and other malicious email faster and more accurately by dropping connections from known spam and malware sources.

Advanced content filtering
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance scans both inbound and outbound email and attachments. The content rule wizards and built-in dictionaries make creating content-based policies quick, easy, and painless. The regular expression tool, customizable dictionaries, threshold counters, and whitelists enable you to create and enforce the policies you need to manage and protect both regulated data and sensitive company information.

Email Security—without compromise
With McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance you no longer have to choose between effective spam blocking or low false-positive rates; you get them both. With its extremely low rate of false positives, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance keeps the spam out while delivering legitimate email accurately.

Web Filtering and Security

Integrated URL filtering
The integrated URL filtering enables your organization to understand, filter, control, and monitor Internet usage. With group-based policies and more than 90 web categories, the filtering capabilities can apply policies to users and groups based on their specific requirements. This provides you with the flexibility and controls you need to keep users safe and productive while on the web. The URL filtering is simple to configure and is included as a standard feature with McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance.

Safe surfing with McAfee SiteAdvisor
McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance also includes McAfee SiteAdvisor® web reputation technology. McAfee SiteAdvisor is an awardwinning technology that rates website reputations based on in-depth content inspection and site testing and advises your employees about risky websites before they visit them. Combining McAfee SiteAdvisor with URL filtering, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance effectively warns or prevents users from opening malicious sites that host spyware, phishing scams, spamming agents, exploits, or inappropriate web content.

Virus and malware protection
Leveraging the same anti-malware engine used for scanning email, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance protects users from downloading dangerous files, whether through email or from malicious websites.

Scalability and Management

Integrated load balancing
With McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance, you can increase capacity as your needs grow. The built-in clustering and load-balancing capabilities provide scalability options that allow you to easily add appliances into a centrally managed cluster. The load-balanced clusters provide consolidated reporting and updating to reduce your administration requirements and improve availability.

Integration with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
Integration with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™) software provides centralized policy management and graphical reporting. McAfee ePO software is the first and only security management platform to centrally manage systems, networks, data, and compliance solutions across any size organization. With ePO, you can manage your McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance along with the rest of your McAfee security, including other McAfee products securing your network, data, and endpoints.
