Description:

Managing the thousands of email messages that pass through a typical company’s servers every day is an enormous task. To ensure security, availability, and compliance for that amount of email traffic diverts IT resources from strategic work that advances business goals.

Thankfully, there’s a better way. With McAfee SaaS Email Security and Archiving Suite, you can secure your company against more than 99% of spam, viruses, worms, phishing scams, and other malware threats before they ever reach your network. Transparently store your email offsite to ensure continuous access during planned and unplanned server outages. Economically and efficiently archive every email message to meet document retention requirements. And you can do it all with no hardware to buy, no software to install, no backup tapes to manage, and no maintenance to perform.

McAfee SaaS Email Security and Archiving Suite includes:

• Perimeter IP filtering to block web-based and blended threats before they reach your network, reducing the time and cost needed to remove malware
• Advanced spam blocking with a sophisticated voting algorithm that works across multiple languages
• Triple virus and worm scanning that blocks more than 99% of malware, with industry-leading low false-positive rates

Benefits and Features:

Solutions:

Managing the thousands of email messages that pass through a typical company’s servers every day is an enormous task. Dedicating in-house IT resources to ensure security, availability, and compliance for vast amounts of email traffic is one approach—but doing so diverts these valuable resources from strategic work that advances business goals. Thankfully, there’s a better way. With McAfee SaaS Email Security and Archiving Suite, you can:

• Protect your company against more than 99 percent of spam, viruses, worms, phishing scams, and other malware threats before they ever reach your network
• Transparently store your email offsite to ensure access during planned and unplanned server outages
• Economically and efficiently archive every email message to meet document retention requirements

Even better, you can quickly protect, ensure access, and archive your email with no hardware to buy, no software to install, no backup tapes to mount, and no maintenance to perform.

Block more than 99 percent of spam
Block over 99 percent of spam and eliminate 90 percent of spam-related costs with a complete, multilayered email defense. Our Stacked Classification Framework®, powered by a patented technology, applies multiple layers of analysis to determine the probability that an email is spam.

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.

Our spam defense includes a premium anti-spam 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
Proprietary WormTraq® worm detection technology identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms before they enter your corporate network. Our industry-leading signature-based anti-virus engine, powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, keeps viruses at bay.

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.

Content and attachment filtering
Reduce corporate risk with intelligent message processing that identifies, quarantines, and blocks unwanted, malicious, and sensitive content and attachments.

Fraud protection
Automatically filter out phishing scams and other illegitimate emails before they reach your network to keep your employees safe from the risks of fraud.

Deliver messages with an additional layer of security
For organizations that need a higher level of security for inbound email, McAfee’s 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, the email is delivered using standard SMTP.

Ensure email availability and protection— no matter what
Business doesn’t stop when your email network is down. Whether the network is inaccessible due to natural disasters, power outages, or even regular maintenance, SaaS Email Security and Archiving Suite keeps your employees, customers, partners, and suppliers connected 24x7.

Your email is always available, with no cumbersome backup tapes, disks, or procedures necessary. If your own email servers are unavailable, you can still access 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 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 online.

Seamless email continuity helps protect your business reputation, operations, and productivity at all times, providing:

• Automatic service engagement when an outage is detected
• Access to email received during an outage via a secure web interface
• Full email functionality, including read, compose, reply, forward, and delete
• 60 days of unlimited rolling storage
• Intelligent post-outage email activity synchronization
• Outage notifications and system updates
• Inbound message filtering

Comply with document retention requirements
Archive every email that enters or leaves your company to meet industry requirements for archiving and storing documents. Automation features simplify archiving and eliminate email loss. In-the-cloud storage reduces the size of your Microsoft Exchange database and replaces cumbersome, unreliable tapes and disks. Powerful search features let authorized users quickly find and retrieve messages for review, compliance, and e-discovery without the need for IT assistance. Find messages using either simple or advanced search criteria, including sender, date range, message content, and even attachment content.

Streamline email management
Reduce time spent on security with a web-based console that makes it easy to customize the service to meet your needs. This way you can keep your IT staff focused on strategic projects that drive your business forward.
