Features |
Virus Outbreak Prevention
In addition to scanning all inbound and optionally outbound email against
existing known virus pattern files, Interscan Messaging Security Suite (IMSS) proactively defends against newly discovered email borne
viruses and worms through it's optional Outbreak Prevention plugin. Although the
majority of organisations now update their virus pattern files automatically on
a daily basis, an organisation is at greatest risk of contracting a new worm or
virus in the first few hours after it is released, and before the virus
companies have issued their new pattern file updates. Outbreak Prevention helps
organisations to mitigate the risk that a new virus poses to corporate email
security by polling out to Trend Micro for content filter blocks which are made
available by Trend Micro to prevent infection by a new worm or virus in advance
of the new pattern file being released. These are automatically installed
onto Interscan Messaging Security Suite, and then deleted when the new pattern
file is implemented on the server.
Mass-Mailing Virus Containment Stops DoS Attacks
Even if you are unlucky enough to contract a new worm either via the
internet or a mobile user, Interscan Messaging Security Suite will prevent the
worm from mailing itself to large numbers of users outside your organisation.
The behaviour of a mass mailing worm is simple to identify, and Interscan
Messaging Security Suite simply stops transmission of these emails through the
internet gateway.
Intelligent Content Filtering Protects Network and Business Integrity
Interscan Messaging Security Suite helps an organisation to implement their
email security policy by filtering non-business or inappropriate messaging by
keyword, true file type, attachment name/size, and more.
Protection Against Mail Relay and Email
Attack
Mail relay and email attack are becoming increasingly disruptive to
organisations' email security, primarily because even though security may not be
actually breached, the corporate email server will often crash with the load of
rejecting bulk email attacks of one kind or another. Interscan Messaging
Security Suite may be placed in line between the company mail server and
firewall and will protect the company mail server against these types of
disruptive attacks, minimising the associated disruption on company business
processes.
