Spam and Anti-Virus Filtering

Everyone is connected to the internet for email or worldwide web browsing. A virus attack to your company network could not only be destructive but very expensive, with networks sometimes being down for several days whilst the virus is removed. Viruses can enter computer systems and networks in several ways; through software loaded in a computer connected to your network in the workplace, downloaded from the internet, or as an email. Whilst local, network and internet attacks are tightly controlled from your own internal computer and internet user policy, email is now the primary source of virus attacks.

Content Management
Personal and non business related email and attachments not only reduce productivity and waste resources, but potentially expose your business to legal implications through illegal and indecent data transfer and unknown storage of data.

Content Filtering
Our unique email content filtering system gives you total system security and peace of mind. This system enables you to securely check that all emails being sent to your company are for valid business purposes only and adhere to your corporate guidelines and policies.

Reputation Filtering provides a powerful outer layer of spam defense. Reputation Filters™ deliver unmatched efficacy, accurately stopping up to 80% of incoming spam at the connection level. Our service also support a unique rate limiting capability which intelligently slows down suspicious senders—greatly reducing the spam, without the risk of false positives.

The Anti-Spam Engine utilizes the industry's most innovative approach to threat detection. In addition to reviewing sender reputation, unique Context Adaptive Scanning Engine™ (CASE) examines the complete context of a message. When combining the CASE score and sender reputation, the end result is more accurate than traditional spam filtering techniques.

Web Reputation technology measures the behaviour and traffic patterns of a website to assess its trustworthiness. The CASE determines the reputation of any URL within a message body, so that a more accurate analysis of the messages can be performed. This enables us to immediately protect Anti-Spam users from spam, viruses, phishing and spyware threats.

Viewing Blocked Emails
This is done via the email digest report. If the user has spam messages blocked they will receive an email digest report every day listing a summary of what emails were blocked for them. If the end user requires one of the emails they simply click on “Not Spam” and the email is delivered to them. No additional usernames or password need to be defined. The option can be turned off if not required.
