Enterprise Messaging Security

Complete inbound and outbound protection of your network.
Unparalleled antivirus, anti-spam, anti-malware, and network protection

Enterprise Messaging includes unparalleled security for your messaging system and network. This includes functionality for inbound and outbound protection, antivirus, anti-spam, cybercrime protection, DDOS protection, and porn blocking with built-in image analysis. Enterprise Messaging uses the latest technology to keep your messaging system protected, including protection for the messaging transfer agent (MTA), post office agent (POA), WebAccess, and Mobility.

Total message system support

Intercept all messages passing through MTA, and POA in real-time to ensure they are free of viruses, spam, malware, and illicit images. The solution provides total scanning of your messaging system and can run at scheduled intervals to scan emails and quarantine viruses.

WebAccess protection

To manage messages coming from WebAccess, Enterprise Messaging Security scans, filters, and quarantines every element of your messaging system. The connector sits at the WebAccess Gateway and filters unwanted content before it ever reaches the system.

Protect mobility services

Enterprise Messaging Security scans all messages sent from mobile devices connected to the Mobility Messaging Service and stops viruses before they enter the messaging system. This enables organizations to ensure that mobile messages are secure and that viruses are not spread to internal users.

Complete antivirus protection

Enjoy the best zero-hour antivirus protection for both inbound and outbound traffic. Viruses are stopped before an outbreak occurs, which saves you thousands of dollars in lost time and data.

Antivirus scanning

Scan for viruses in the subject, body, and attachments of an email. If the attachment contains a virus, the email is immediately stopped at the gateway. If the body or subject of the email contains a malicious link or a virus, the email is blocked.

Inbound and outbound protection of your system

With inbound and outbound scanning, you will have unique protection of your system, ensuring that threats and damages are minimized. Viruses and malware are stopped from ever entering your system, no matter what entry point they try to come from.

Eliminate spam from your inbox

By providing multi-layer spam defense to your email, you will prevent spam and unwanted traffic from entering your collaboration system.

Perimeter defense scanning

Catch spam before it ever reaches your messaging system with the soft appliance. Spam-blocking functions include address blocking, content filtering, heuristics, SURBL technology, IP reputation scanning, conversion tracking, and TLS support. By eliminating spam, your messaging and email systems will continue running smoothly and efficiently.

Minimize false-positives

The anti-spam engine is constantly updated with new spam signatures. This innovative technology assures that false-positives are detected—meaning the mail you need ends up in your inbox and spam is filtered out.

Robust content filtering

This solution features robust content filtering capabilities that filters content based on email address, subject, header, body, Raw MIME, fingerprinting, attachment, attachment names, images, black-list/white-list, message size, and IP address.

Directional filtering control

Create filters based on message direction (outbound versus inbound filters). You can easily apply different filters to inbound traffic than you would for outbound traffic and vice versa.

Outbound spam protection

Prevent your end-user workstations from being compromised by viruses that slip through your perimeter defenses. This solution prevents outbound spam risks, including blocked IP address, damaged reputation, loss of resources, and crippled messaging systems, from pushing spam out through your network.

Anti-spoofing with SPF scanning

To stop email-spoofing, this solution features Sender Policy Framework (SPF) scanning. SPF looks at the domain found in the ‘mail from’ file, then checks that domain’s SPF records to ensure the domain reported matches the mail servers that send that domain. SPF also identifies messages that are or are not authorized to use the domain name in the SMTP HELO and ‘mail from’ commands based on information published in a sender policy of the domain owner.

Complete network protection

Actively monitor your network to protect it from cybercrime, pornographic files, and DoS/DDoS attacks. The solution also provides internet traffic filtering and web content scanning to ensure that malicious websites and inappropriate content can’t access your network.

Cybercrime protection

Cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and malicious malware pose serious threats to your organization. This solution helps you manage and eliminate those threats through multiple layers of specialized protection. These layers prevent cybercriminals from using email as a way of attacking your infrastructure.

Porn defense

Image Analyzer scans the actual composition of images and videos to ensure accuracy. The sophisticated probability engine scans incoming and outgoing images, reliably distinguishes between pornographic and non-pornographic content, and stops inappropriate content from entering—or leaving—your messaging system.

DoS/DDoS protection

Prevent Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks to the SMTP. These attacks can easily take down your mail server, which leads to system outages and downtime costing your organization time and money in lost productivity.

End-user black and white lists

Empower end-users and reduce administration time and costs with the system interface. This interface enables end-users to place individual email addresses or complete domains on their black or white list, enabling messages to pass through or be blocked based on this list.

"Enterprise Messaging Security was the easy choice for the nuclear plant with the top security rating in the country. I do a virus scanning nightly on the entire system. Viruses used to be an issue, but with
Micro Focus, they’re not now."
