Each of more than 20 separate layers of filtering has a set of unique strengths designed to identify and stop specific threats. This combination creates one of the most accurate and comprehensive filtering processes in the industry.
• Triple virus and worm scanning—Proprietary WormTraq® worm detection technology identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms before they enter your corporate network, while our industry-leading signaturebased anti-virus engine keeps viruses at bay
• Content and attachment filtering—Reduce corporate liability and risk. Intelligent message processing identifies, quarantines, and blocks unwanted, malicious, and sensitive content and attachments.
• Email attack protection—Conceal your network and critical messaging gateways from the public Internet. Instantly block denial of service and other SMTP-based attacks, including dictionary harvest attacks, email bombs, and channel flooding.
• Fraud protection—Keep employees safe from the risks of fraud and phishing scams
• Secure message delivery—The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol filters encrypted inbound messages and delivers them across a secure tunnel when recipients are TLS-enabled. If a recipient is unable to receive a TLS-encrypted message, SaaS Email Inbound Filtering delivers it via standard SMTP.
