Overview
Email is your most critical business application and one of the most challenging to protect, but simply blocking spam and viruses is not enough. Comprehensive email security requires defending against sophisticated new attacks, preventing loss of sensitive business data, and protecting your own corporate email reputation.
Going beyond spam and malware filtering, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance combines market-leading email protection with data loss prevention, policy-based controls, and advanced reporting. Powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, Email and Web Security Appliance is armed with the latest proactive defenses against both known and unknown threats. Highly scalable to meet the needs of the most demanding enterprises, yet easily managed, Email and Web Security Appliance provides the highest level of email security with complex features and functionality built in to a simple, user-friendly interface.
Email and Web Security Appliance delivers:
Comprehensive inbound security against all email-borne threats — With its extremely low rate of false positives, Email and Web Security Appliance keeps spam out while accurately delivering legitimate email.
Outbound inspection against reputation-damaging email — Block messages that could negatively impact your corporate email reputation. Infected systems within your network can cause your domain to be blacklisted as an origin of spam and your corporate email to be automatically rejected by your business partners and customers.
Integrated data loss prevention for compliance and policy enforcement — Built-in McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technology includes dictionaries, document fingerprinting, compliance, and validation tools.
Enhanced security powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence — McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) is a comprehensive cloud-based service integrated into McAfee security products. It works in real time, 24 hours a day, to protect customers against cyberthreats across all vectors — file, web, message, and network. McAfee’s GTI network allows enabled products to evaluate threats on multiple vectors in real time, leading to faster identification of threats and higher capture rates. Email and Web Security Appliance uses file reputation, web reputation, message reputation, and network connection reputation services to identify suspicious files, sites hosting undesirable content, infected domains and IP addresses, and email messages carrying malicious payloads.
