McAfee Email Security —Flexible Deployment Options for Protecting Email Appliance-Based Email Security: McAfee Email Gateway Appliance and McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance

Designed for enterprises with more than 1,000 users, the McAfee Email Gateway appliance delivers total email protection, integrating comprehensive inbound threat protection with outbound data loss prevention, policy-enforced encryption, robust reporting, and administrative empowerment. It provides enterprise-class features and flexibility to increase messaging security while reducing the costs associated with spam, bandwidth consumption, malware cleanup, and data loss.

Designed for enterprises with less than 1,000 users, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance is a single, integrated appliance that defends businesses against the two most common sources of security threats—email and the web. Much more than a spam filter, McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance combines world-class email protection with content scanning, policy-based usage, and integrated web security. McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance leverages McAfee Global Threat Intelligence services to deliver the latest, proactive defense against both known and unknown threats.

Secure Email in the Cloud: McAfee SaaS Email Protection Service

McAfee SaaS Email Protection service prevents inbound and outbound email threats from impacting your network and end users. This SaaS service is always up to date and requires no additional investment in hardware or software nor the time and resources to configure or maintain it. Because the service stops spam and email-based threats before they infiltrate your network, the amount of email entering your network is greatly reduced, saving you valuable bandwidth and server storage. Web-based administration simplifies management, frees up your valuable IT resources, and lowers your total cost of ownership.

Combining Strengths: Hybrid Delivery

Partnering SaaS with the McAfee Email Gateway appliance or McAfee Email and Web Security Appliance solution on premises delivers the strength of both solutions. The hybrid solution leverages a multilayered strategy to successfully keep malicious messages out of the network. The solution uses McAfee SaaS Email Protection service to filter spam in the cloud, and on-premises appliances to provide flexible policy creation and additional spam reduction with zero false positives. The on-premises appliances also provide data loss prevention capabilities, including automatic policy enforcement and automated encryption, to protect against data loss via email.
