Description:

Let the cloud lighten the burdens of email and web security, web filtering, and email retention and continuity. The McAfee SaaS Web and Email Security with Archiving suite provides integrated defenses against the threats, compliance risks, and distractions that can detract from the benefits of Internet access. We make strong protection simple and affordable by combining multiple critical services into a single, convenient, Security-as-a-Service subscription.

The McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network collects real-time data from 100 million sensors and correlates activities across key threat vectors, including email, web, host, and network. At McAfee, more than 400 dedicated threat researchers at McAfee Labs develop advanced analytics and analyze IP reputations to determine intent and risk from this information and detect and block the mutating threats in email and the web—including unknown malware, spam, blended threats, phishing sites, and targeted attacks.

Twenty layers of email filtering trap malware and spam before it places your systems and user productivity in jeopardy. Our complete solution shields your network and critical messaging gateways from email attack, instantly blocking denial of service attacks, including directory harvest attacks, email bombs, and channel flooding. This complete, multilayered email defense blocks over 99 percent of spam and eliminates 90 percent of spam-related costs.

Real-time email and web security
Spammers, phishers, and other criminals increasingly weave morphing, blended threats to improve their success. To combat these threats, the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network collects real-time data from 100 million sensors and correlates activities across key threat vectors, including email, web, host, and network. More than 400 dedicated threat researchers at McAfee Labs™ develop advanced analytics and analyze IP reputations to determine intent and risk from this information.

Virtual freedom from spam and malware
We block over 99 percent of spam and eliminate 90 percent of spam-related costs with a complete, multilayered email defense. 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 zerohour 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, powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, keeps viruses at bay.

Content analysis to detect changing malware
By scanning each email and each web page’s active content and understanding its intent or predicted behavior, we proactively protect against unknown malware, blended threats, phishing sites, and targeted attacks.

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

Enforce policies for web and email
Reduce corporate risk with intelligent processing that identifies, quarantines, and blocks unwanted, malicious, and sensitive content. Our service can also enforce your organization’s Internet use policy by automatically applying access rules to all policycontrolled web traffic. Traffic that violates your policy is blocked before it can enter your network.

Categories make it fast to set up policies that manage Internet access and preserve bandwidth for appropriate use. We link policies directly to user groups defined in your LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory, providing extra levels of control.

Comply with document retention requirements
Archive every email that enters or leaves your company to meet industry and legal requirements. Automation simplifies archiving and eliminates email loss. In-the-cloud, tamper-proof storage reduces the size of your Microsoft Exchange database and replaces inconvenient, unreliable tapes and disks. When the auditor appears, powerful search features let authorized users quickly find and retrieve messages for review, compliance, and e-discovery, without the need for IT assistance.

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, our continuity 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 come back online. We include sixty days of unlimited rolling storage, enough to handle the most severe disruptions.

Streamline security and policy management
Reduce time spent on security with a web-based console that makes it easy to customize the service to meet your needs. 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 web usage 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.

Rapid service activation with minimal costs
Security-as-a-Service offers the most cost-effective way to implement and maintain effective Internet protection.
