Ironport C300 Email Security Appliances

Features

Spam Protection

• IronPort Reputation Filters™ provide an outer layer of defense and perform a real-time email traffic threat assessment to identify suspicious email senders. More
   
• Symantec Brightmail Anti-Spam Filters act as the inner layer for spam protection with the industry's lowest administration and most accurate content-based spam detection available today. More

Virus Protection

• IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters™ identify and quarantine viruses hours before traditional virus signatures are available. More
   
• Sophos Anti-Virus technology provides a fully integrated second layer of virus protection with the highest performance virus scanning technology in the industry. More

• Compliance Quarantine provides delegated access to emails that have been flagged by the content scanning engine.

Enterprise Management Tools

• Mail Flow Central™ allows you to find the status of any message that has traversed your infrastructure. More
• Mail Flow Monitor™ delivers complete realtime visibility into who is sending you email, and alerts administrators of suspicious traffic—allowing them to take immediate action. More
   
• Email Security Manager™ provides fingertip control to manage all email security, including preventive and reactive anti-spam and anti-virus filters, email encryption, and content filtering.
   
• Intuitive GUI enables real-time and historical reporting along with the ability to configure policies, search, and selectively release quarantined messages.
   
• SNMP Enterprise MIB facilitates hands-off monitoring and alerting for all system parameters including hardware, security, performance and availability.

Benefits

• Unprecedented Insight The IronPort C300 offers very sophisticated management, monitoring and reporting tools. Each appliance has a unique reporting system, providing both a real-time and historical look at mail flowing through your email infrastructure. IronPort provides system administrators with the necessary information to make critical security decisions.
   
• Reduced Administrative Burden The IronPort C300 uses the industry's most advanced technology to deal with inbound threats and anomalies in a fully automated manner. This allows highly skilled IT staff to focus on other problems and leave the email issues to IronPort.
   
• Lower TCO The IronPort MTA platform enables massive reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by consolidating email operations and security into a single platform. Self-managing security services provide the lowest maintenance solution in the industry with minimal configuration requirements.
   
• Increased End User Productivity By securing the network at the gateway level, the IronPort C300 acts as a "shock absorber," in front of the groupware server(s). This ensures that end users are not bogged down by spam, viruses and other threats. Unlike other solutions, IronPort security services do not rely on end users to "train" the system. Instead, high accuracy is maintained through continuous and automatic rule updates.
   
• Improved Network Efficiency IronPort's Reputation Filtering system was the first in the industry and remains the most sophisticated. In its default settings, it will block over 80% of incoming mail at the connection level, saving bandwidth (the message is never accepted) and system resources. CPU intensive spam and virus filters are only used when needed, and rate limiting is a very effective defense against "hit and run" spam attacks or denial of service attacks.
   
• Minimized Downtime The IronPort C300 provides a comprehensive solution to ensure the availability and security of your email infrastructure. The combined security applications of spam and virus filtering, content scanning and policy enforcement reduce the risk and potential downtime posed by security threats.
