Features & Benefits

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 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.

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.

Business continuity guaranteed

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.

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.

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.

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.

System Requirements

You will need your own email domain, such as yourdomain.com; a static IP address or hostname that resolves to an IP address; and a dedicated mail server, either in-house or hosted by an ISP.

Activation starts with a simple mail exchanger (MX) record redirection. You can begin filtering using pre-established default settings, or you can easily fine-tune the settings to your specifications through our intuitive web-based administration console.
