ANTI-SPAM PROTECTION
No single analytic technique is enough to stop the constantly morphing forms of spam. Even multiple techniques are not enough to keep spam at bay for long. And rigid scoring often ends up blocking e-mail that you actually want to receive. SonicWALL takes spam management beyond arbitrary scoring with our revolutionary evidence evaluation system that identifies the sender, analyses the content, and applies a collaborative review to every e-mail. These methods are 98 percent effective at stopping spam. Only when all three elements are simultaneously cross-analysed can you have true confidence in your solution's handling of your company's e-mail.
ANTI-PHISHING PROTECTION
Phishing e-mails are specifically created to imitate legitimate e-mails, often copying actual corporate communication. Billions of phishing e-mails are sent out every month and can lead to identity theft, security breaches, and financial loss and liability. The average successful fraud nets $1,400, and the latest research estimates that phishing caused more than $44 billion in damages worldwide in 2004.
ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION
SonicWALL provides multi-layer defence against viruses. This approach protects users from known viruses as well as new, unique outbreaks. This real-time protection uses three types of anti-virus analysis. This comprehensive approach ensures that your e-mail remains secure before, during, and after a virus outbreak.
END-USER SPAM MANAGEMENT
SonicWALL® Email Security delivers extensive user functionality for junk mail control that enables individuals to personalise e-mail filtering to meet their needs without burdening IT, yet enabling IT to maintain complete control.
ZOMBIE DETECTION
Malicious code can be used to take over an enterprise's computers, which are then used to send dangerous e-mails, such as spam, phishing, and viruses. These computers are called zombies because they have been secretly taken over to do the bidding of the hacker.
ATTACK PREVENTION / TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
E-mail threats come not only in content, but in volume and invasiveness. Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA) and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks can bring down an organizationorganisation's e-mail infrastructure due both to the sheer quantity of e-mail traffic they generate and the debilitating invasion of the network they facilitate. SonicWALL provides unique e-mail traffic management to protect your e-mail infrastructure.
POLICY MANAGEMENT
SonicWALL's Policy Management enables organisations to easily implement e-mail management rules for both inbound and outbound e-mail. From simple rules to detect and block specific types of attachments to rerouting e-mail from competitors to checking all outbound e-mail for specific words and phrases, organisations can quickly implement rules that address their unique business needs and best practices.
COMPLIANCE CAPABILITIES
All organisations are faced with the challenge of meeting e-mail compliance requirements, whether regulatory compliance from government legislation, industry standards; or corporate compliance, such as preventing offensive e-mails or protecting intellectual property. With these various compliance requirements, encryption and archiving options alone are not enough. Organisations must have robust policy management and enforcement options to meet the range of compliance needs.
HANDS-OFF MAINTENANCE / LDAP INTEGRATION
SonicWALL® Email Security will also simplify life for your system administrators with three key management components that result in reduced time for administrators and deliver e-mail security without administrative complexity: 1) real-time LDAP integration, 2) data and product auto-updates, and 3) an administrative Junk Box.
REPORTING
SonicWALL reporting gives administrators unmatched insight into their e-mail security system at both the system-wide and granular levels, including detailed information and statistics about attack types, solution effectiveness, and system performance. SonicWALL's robust reporting helps you to understand your e-mail flow and threat levels and types, and to justify your investment to management.
INSTALLATION / GROUP & USER MANAGEMENT
SonicWALL® Email Security appliances are easy-to-install, hardened SonicWALL OS-based solutions. SonicWALL Email Security Software is ideal for organisations that prefer a flexible solution that can be used with their existing hardware or deployed on their mail server. Either way, you'll enjoy easy installation and the flexible per-group and per-user delegated management pioneered by SonicWALL.
PERFORMANCE & THROUGHPUT
The flood of e-mail, both legitimate and junk, continues to rise. The key to e-mail security that keeps pace is quick and efficient message evaluation. To achieve and maintain this level of e-mail security, enterprises need high performance delivery with rapid scanning that includes throughput and scalability.
