Anti-spam

Effective blocking of junk email before it enters your network

The McAfee portfolio of anti-spam appliances, software, and a fully hosted service consistently blocks up to 99 percent of spam, with virtually no false positives. McAfee email security solutions combine sophisticated spam detection technologies, integrated anti-virus, local intelligence, and global reputation intelligence to identify and stop spam and malicious email before it enters your network. We reduce the impact of unwanted email on your network bandwidth, storage capacity, and employee productivity. By stopping malicious emails before they can reach your users, you can cut costs associated with malware cleanup. Continuous updates from McAfee and global reputation intelligence ensure that your protection is always current, regardless of the deployment model you choose.
