Experts in security and threat research maintain
McAfee SaaS Web and Email Protection. By routing your web and email traffic through our data centers, we are able to insert our best security between you and these threats.

Threat intelligence from the cloud, for the cloud
More than 400 dedicated threat researchers at McAfee Labs™ develop advanced analytics and analyze IP reputations to determine intent and risk from real-time data. The McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network collects events from 100 million sensors and correlates activities across key threat vectors, including email, web, host, and network.

This insight is used to detect and block malware, attacks, and risky sites, protecting you before the threats touch your network.

Content inspection for security
Our rich scanning infrastructure compares each email and each web page’s active content and understanding to our extensive file and URL reputation databases. We assess intent or predicted behavior, and then proactively protect against unknown malware, viruses, worms, Trojans, phishing sites, and targeted attacks.

As your users access web pages, we scan outbound requests, blocking connections to risky or policy-controlled sites. We can stop keyloggers phoning home with your sensitive information and strip out objectionable or regulated content, such as adult content and personally identifiable information.

Categories and policies for easy control
To make control convenient, categories can be paired with your unique user communities to set policies against offensive, undesired, and unproductive use of the web. With 100 categories to choose from, our web filtering is unmatched in flexibility, accuracy, and security. We link policies directly to user groups defined in your LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory, providing extra levels of control.

Compliance to limit loss and liability
Our service can also enforce your organization’s Internet use policy by automatically applying access rules to all policy-controlled web traffic. Traffic that violates your policy is blocked before it can enter your network. You can limit access to videosharing and other frivolous sites that sap network resources from priority users.

Based on your policies, we inspect outbound emails and attachments for inappropriate or company-private content. By keeping sensitive information under control, we help keep your business compliant with regulatory and workplace requirements.

Twenty layers of email protection
We block over 99 percent of spam and eliminate 90 percent of spam-related costs with a complete, multilayered email defense—and industry-leading low false positive rates. 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. Cloud-based IP filtering provides additional security against image-based spam, web-based threats, blended threats, and fraudulent phishing emails.

Proprietary McAfee WormTraq® worm detection technology identifies and intercepts zero-hour mass mailing worms before they enter your corporate network. Our industry-leading signature and behavior based anti-virus engine keeps viruses at bay.

Shield your email system against attack
Our complete solution shields your critical messaging gateways and email servers from attack, instantly blocking denial of service attacks, directory harvest attacks, email bombs, and channel flooding.

Continuous email storage, access, and use
As we filter your email, we store a rolling sixty days of content. If your network or email server goes down, whether through disaster or design, our service keeps your employees, customers, partners, and suppliers connected 24x7. Your email is always available, with no cumbersome backup tapes, disks, or procedures required. Users access our secure, easy-to-use web interface to send, receive, search, and retrieve messages and manage quarantines.

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 return to service. This feature helps you plan for maintenance and enables full disaster recovery without the need to maintain your own offsite storage.

Minimal management
Our web-based console makes it easy to customize the service to meet your needs, setting filtering policies, quarantine parameters, routing, and more. Personal dashboards help each administrator understand how the organization uses web and email resources and monitor trends to isolate problems, document inappropriate activity, comply with regulations, and tailor filtering settings to enforce policies.

Custom notifications alert users to policy violations, blocked web content, and quarantined messages. Administrative alerts provide instant knowledge about important security events. This freedom lets you keep your IT staff focused on strategic projects.

More security, less money and hassle
Security-as-a-Service offers the most cost-effective way to implement and maintain effective Internet protection. Simply redirect your web and email traffic to our load-balanced data centers, where we scan using state-of-the-art technologies. Your web traffic is automatically routed to our nearest data center—architected with the capacity and performance to instantaneously handle all requests.
