McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity Overview:

Email is today’s engine of productivity. That’s why your business needs effective and reliable email protection. McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity is a cloud-based solution that blocks more than 99% of spam, viruses, and fraudulent messages, before they enter your network. It also enforces your policies on outgoing mail, both in the email body and in attachments. In case of a planned or unplanned outage, this service enables web-based email access, management, and use.

Description:

As a cloud-based service, McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity delivers access to world-class email security with no hardware or software to buy, no backups to run, and no maintenance to perform — saving money and freeing up resources to focus on more strategic tasks.

Thousands of email messages pass through a typical company’s servers every day. With that volume of traffic, managing email security and access is a major workload that diverts IT resources from other, more strategic tasks.

But there is an easier way. With McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity, you can automatically block spam, phishing scams, and viruses in the cloud, before they reach your network. You can block outbound emails containing inappropriate, unauthorized, and company-private information. Count on secure offsite email storage and continuous email access during planned and unplanned server outages. And you can do it all with no hardware to buy, no software to install or manage, no backups to run, and no maintenance to perform.

With minimal effort, secure your company against more than 99% of spam, viruses, worms, and phishing threats. At the same time, automatically enforce policies to prevent the spread of inappropriate and unauthorized content. And with automatic email continuity, you can ensure your business always stays on track.

McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity offers:

• Perimeter IP filtering to block web-based and blended threats before they reach your network, reducing the time and cost needed to remove malware

• Triple virus and worm scanning that blocks more than 99% of malware with industry-leading low false-positive rates
• Proprietary WormTraq detection technology that identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass-mailing worms

This solution delivers email attack protection with real-time monitoring and analysis of incoming traffic, while concealing critical messaging gateways and shielding email servers from attack.

Message continuity provides employees with web access to email, keeping them productive even when your own email server is unavailable. An advanced web-based administrative and reporting portal allows you to establish specific filtering policies, set quarantine parameters, configure routing, monitor activity, and more. Plus, you'll retain 24/7 monitoring and customer support from McAfee security experts.

Benefits and Features:

Solutions:

Get complete inbound and outbound email protection
The McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity service offers far more than traditional spam prevention. It provides businesses with complete, multilayered email protection using a combination of proven spam filters, leading antivirus engines, fraud protection, content filtering, and email attack protection. Our easy-to-administer network perimeter-based service identifies, quarantines, blocks, and cleans suspect email messages before they can enter or leave your organization.

Block more than 99 percent of spam
Our Stacked Classification Framework® spam detection system, powered by a patented technology, applies multiple layers of analysis to determine the probability that an email is spam. Because each filtering technology has unique strengths designed to identify specific threats, the combination creates one of the most accurate and comprehensive filtering processes in the industry.

Our spam defense includes the premium antispam multi-language filter, which protects against real-time spam attacks and zero-hour spam, regardless of language. Perimeter IP filtering provides additional security against image-based spam, web-based threats, blended threats, and fraudulent phishing emails.

Count on triple scanning to effectively block viruses and worms
McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity includes our proprietary WormTraq® detection technology, which identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms before they enter or leave your corporate network. It also scans for malware, in both the message body and all attachments, using our industry-leading, signature-based anti-virus engine powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence.

Protect against email attacks
Our complete solution shields your network and critical messaging gateways from email attack, instantly blocking denial of service and other SMTP-based attacks, including directory harvest attacks, email bombs, and channel flooding.

Automatically filter outbound email
Just as important as blocking inbound attacks, you need to filter outbound email to protect your clients against malware, and to protect your company against loss of sensitive information and potential legal liability.

McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity checks outbound email to identify and block viruses, worms, and other malicious code. It automatically enforces your company’s email policies—providing deep analysis to detect proprietary information and inappropriate content in both the outbound email body and any attached files.

Deliver messages with an additional layer of security
For organizations that need a higher level of security for inbound and outbound email, our Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol accepts and filters encrypted inbound and outbound messages and delivers them across a secure tunnel. If a recipient is unable to receive a TLS encrypted message, the email is delivered using standard SMTP.

Ensure email access and protection— no matter what
Business doesn’t stop when your email network experiences an outage. Whether the network is inaccessible due to natural disasters, power outages, or even regular maintenance, McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity keeps employees, customers, partners, and suppliers connected 24x7.

Enjoy the convenience of cloud-based, automatic rolling email storage, with no cumbersome backup procedures and no need to maintain your own storage facility. If your own email servers become unavailable, you can still use our secure, easy-to-use web interface to send and receive messages, search for and retrieve stored messages, and manage quarantines and message stores just as you would in your normal live environment.

Because the service is fully integrated and managed by McAfee, your inbound and outbound email protection continues without interruption. And the service retains all messages sent or received during the outage, intelligently synchronizing an accurate record of all outage-period message activity when your own email servers come back on line.

Get secure, always-available email while removing the management burden and expense
Secure your company against more than 99 percent of unwanted emails, automatically enforce policies to prevent leakage of inappropriate and unauthorized content, and ensure that employees always have email access.

You get the email security and reliability you need, while leaving the management to us. That’s why McAfee Email Protection and Continuity is the smart way to keep your business on track.
