McAfee SaaS Email Protection & Continuity

Focus on your core business

Streamline email management via our unified web-based administrative console. Automatic and continuous updates free IT staff from day-to-day threat management, so they can focus on strategic projects that drive your business forward.

Get email protection from the security experts

Obtain comprehensive email protection and availability as a turnkey service. At McAfee, security is our only focus. All detection, filtering, quarantine, backup, and recovery functions are located and managed at our secure facilities.

Block threats before they reach your network

Stop email attacks with real-time monitoring and analysis of incoming traffic, while concealing critical messaging gateways and shielding email servers. McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity works in the cloud, using in-memory filtering, to block more than 99% of spam, viruses, worms, phishing scams, and fraudulent emails outside your network. Triple virus and worm scanning block malware with industry-leading low false-positive rates.

Filter emails in real time with a proxy-based approach

Get intelligent email processing that virtually eliminates risk of loss associated with system outages, message interception, or corruption from an infected email base. McAfee SaaS Email Protection leverages a proxy-based filtering approach that filters email in real time which, unlike the store-and-forward method used by other providers, does not write and store email messages to disk before forwarding them on to the recipient. The process acknowledges the inbound email traffic, immediately opens a connection to the recipient email server, and filters the message as it flows through the network stream environment and into your messaging system.

Keep users from clicking on malicious links within emails

McAfee ClickProtect helps you eliminate the phishing and malware threats from embedded URLs within an email message. As a core feature of the solution, it checks for changes in URL intent occurring between the time the message is scanned (scan-time), regardless of how harmless it may have appeared, and when the URL is clicked by a user (click-time). A safe-preview is provided to the end user, along with a full proactive emulation of the URL content leveraging the same antimalware technology in McAfee Web Protection. Administrators have flexibility to configure scan-time and click-time policies, create custom warning notifications, and enable URL emulation to protect users from the click. Forensic reporting of every URL-related event provides administrators unprecedented control and decision support.

Use graymail filtering to further reduce unwanted email

Unwanted mail could be legitimate bulk mail that was once solicited by the user, but now no longer wanted (i.e., industry newsletters and notifications), and may represent a significant nuisance to recipients. By using graymail filters, administrators can set graymail policies for individuals or groups, and even permit end users to enable this capability to keep mailboxes clear of graymail.

Automatically filter outbound emails to protect you and your recipients

Filter outbound email to protect your clients against malware, and to inspect outbound emails and attachments for inappropriate or company-private content, protecting your company against loss of sensitive information and potential legal liability. SaaS Email Protection and Continuity includes keyword filtering, attachment filtering, archive and compressed file integrity filtering, spam beacon and web bug detection and blocking, and multilevel HTML shield and content protection.

Encrypt sensitive company data to maintain compliance with privacy and security regulations

Protect your confidential outbound email with Transport Layer Security (TLS) , a feature that provides gateway-to-gateway encryption without disrupting the day-to-day workflow of your employees. The addition of McAfee SaaS Email Encryption enables easy-to-use, cloud-based encryption and built-in data loss prevention rules to help further ensure secure confidential information delivery.

Ensure easy management through Active Directory integration

Synchronize your account information for users and groups through the Directory Services Connector, eliminating the need to manually make changes in either the corporate Active Directory (AD) or your McAfee SaaS system.

Guarantee business continuity

Activate a secure, easy-to-use web interface for your users and administrators to compose, send, receive, and manage emails during any mail server outage or disaster with uninterrupted protection for all inbound and outbound messages. When your mail exchange server comes online again, McAfee intelligently synchronizes and delivers an accurate record of up to 60 rolling days of outage-period message activity.

Get a scalable, robust solution

Filtering billions of messages each month for organizations around the globe, McAfee SaaS Email Protection supports email networks of any size, in any location. The distributed design provides for geographic system deployment and its decoupled components allow for independent scaling or grouping. Our scalable systems architecture supports increased volume and growth; its fault-tolerant, multiple data centers handle excess capacity; and individual elements of the architecture can be scaled in response to traffic requirements. Effortless integration with all business networks is possible through the solutions’ native Internet standards support for SMTP, LDAP, MIME, XML-RPC web services API, LDAP/POP3 authentication, LDAP subscriber queries, and SQL interfaces.

Integrate flexible email routing

Keep multiple email domains in order. McAfee SaaS Email Intelligent Routing is an optional, cloud-based service that seamlessly adds new local domains to your existing public-facing domain, and redirects email to the appropriate servers and recipients. It simplifies email administration, lowers operating costs, and keeps your brand intact.

Archive email in the cloud

Add on McAfee SaaS Email Archiving, an optional, cloud-based service that simplifies email searches and eases archiving administration with a cost-effective solution that doesn’t require additional hardware or software. SaaS Email Archiving uses the same management console as McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity.
