Overview
McAfee SaaS Email Protection is a cloud-based email scanning solution that eliminates incoming and outgoing message threats such as spam, viruses, phishing scams, directory-harvest, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. SaaS Email Protection raises the level of your messaging security, and requires no additional on-premise hardware, software, or IT staff.
Effective malware blocking — SaaS Email Protection works outside your network to block more than 99% of spam, viruses, worms, and harmful content. It protects your email infrastructure, safeguarding your communication and information integrity.
Complete policy enforcement — Enforce corporate email policies while safeguarding your users, customers, and business partners. Emails attempting to enter or leave your network are subject to real-time threat checking. Suspect messages are quarantined and prevented from passing through the perimeter.
Easy administration — Email is redirected through the McAfee SaaS infrastructure, where mail traffic is quickly scanned before entering or leaving your network. With the McAfee security experts providing up-to-the-minute updates, network administrators are freed from day-to-day threat management. We monitor the global state of email around the clock, providing a dynamic, proactive defense that protects against the latest threats.
Enhanced security powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence — McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) is a comprehensive cloud-based threat intelligence service. Already 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 GTI offers the broadest threat data, most robust data correlation, and most complete product integration in the industry. 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. SaaS Email Protection uses the message reputation services to identify email messages carrying malicious payloads.

Up until now if you asked any security professional or consultant to provide you a best practice strategy for securing your enterprise, they would most likely recommend that you follow the Defense-in-Depth(DiD) strategy.Although this has proven to be a sound strategy for the most part, as a security practitioner, I would have a tough time making that recommendation to customers that are adopting a Cloud Computing model.
