External spam and virus filtering – on your terms!
Spam and viruses are a considerable problem for organisations that receive thousands of harmful and unwanted emails everyday. Today, spam accounts for 85-90% of all emails and viruses approximately 1%. With external email scanning by SoftScan you can forget all about email spam and viruses, and concentrate on your business.
The SoftScan email security service provides you with many benefits:
- All your inbound and outbound email is scanned for spam and viruses, ensuring only legimate emails are received and sent from your internal mail server, saving you both space and bandwidth.
- All emails can be queued on SoftScans' internet hosted servers for up to 7 days ensuring continuity of service should your server or network fail.
- The web based administration console allows you to easily monitor your email traffic, setup filtering rules and manage quarantined emails; giving you full control.
- No installation or maintenance of hardware or software, or updating of spam or virus definitions.
- Service Level Agreement ensures a high level of service, in terms of both support and functionality.
- The Reputation Filter automatically blocks emails from servers that are known to deliver spam.
- The Spam filter detects spam emails using a combination of several techniques including signature matches with other known spam messages, content analysis, the use of black and white lists, including messages that have links to blacklisted URLs.
- The solution uses three leading virus scanners ClamAV, Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The three conventional anti-virus scanners work together with SoftScan's own heuristic scanner Paranoid to protect against unwanted emails.
- The Paranoid technology constantly analyses patterns in the emails it accepts to ensure that it stops as yet unknown viruses, before traditional antivirus scanners have updated their filters.
- The web based administrator console allows you to navigate and set-up the solution to reflect your own email policy, personal preferences or local legislation.
