Making you a managed email security services provider
Email delivers many benefits, but threats such as viruses, spam and illegal or illicit content can seriously decrease the performance of both employees and networks.
Viruses are the number one threat, with the potential to delete or compromise critical data and cause huge amounts of network downtime. Spam is also major problem, reducing productivity as users delete or respond to junk mail. The volume and frequency of email also reduces the performance of your customers network.
Finally the presence of illegal/illicit content has huge productivity, publicity and legal implications for your client organisations.
The solution
mailFORTRESS is a secure email gateway that combines best-of-breed technologies to protect against viruses, spam and illicit content before they reach the network.
Email is routed via one of our checkpoints positioned directly on the Internet backbone, where a battery of tests detects any email-borne threats before mail is delivered as normal or quarantined outside the network.
mailFORTRESS hardware, infrastructure, technologies and techniques are all monitored and managed 24 x 7 x 365 by FORTRESS labs, ensuring the most up-to-date protection possible. Whilst mailFORTRESS takes care of the technology you manage the policy and business rules using our simple, online control centre.
Stopping viruses
mailFORTRESS neutralises email-borne threats sooner, dramatically reducing the window of exposure for viral infection. Our own heuristic analysis acts as a virus radar, scanning email traffic for the trends and signals that indicate a new virus before taking the appropriate action. Heuristic analysis is backed up by industry leading anti-virus engines from top vendors, providing protection no single-vendor solution can match.
All anti-virus infrastructure is managed and updated round the clock from the FORTRESS Global NOC, guaranteeing protection from new viruses as soon as possible.
Stopping spam
mailFORTRESS fortifies networks against the daily onslaught of bulk email using a variety of spam fighting tools and techniques.
The mailFORTRESS anti-spam arsenal includes advanced lexical analysis and bayesian logic, white/grey/black listing, sender verification, multiple real time blacklists and more.
mailFORTRESS checkpoints are housed in multiple, resilient datacentres at key points on the Internet backbone ensuring spam is intercepted and controlled, even during spikes in spammer activity.
Stopping illegal/illicit content
mailFORTRESS allows organisations to identify and control inappropriate content from being sent or received by your mail solution.
Filtered attachment controls are utilised to stop content and protect your brand from any legal action. Filtering also increases the effective use of your Internet bandwidth by reducing the transmission of unwanted attachment content. mailFORTRESS provides the most secure email gateway available - continuously updated, monitored and supported by FORTRESS labs.
There’s total protection from the moment an account is activated, and no additional software or hardware is required so ongoing management is as simple as installation.
