McAfee Email Security AppliancePowerful protection for your enterprise email

With the emergence of blended threats that combine spam with phishing and other malware, it’s time to take your email security to higher level. Step up protection for your messaging systems with McAfee® Email Security Appliance (formerly McAfee Secure Messaging Gateway). A single, easy-to-manage appliance filters spam and inappropriate content, phishing, worms, and viruses. Its rule-based content filters help you control your outbound emails for regulatory compliance. McAfee Email Security Appliance is one of the most affordable, powerful, and accurate enterprise-class email security solutions available today.

Email Threat ProtectionMcAfee Email Security Appliance uses McAfee’s award-winning anti-spam engine to detect and block spam and phishing attacks. Tests by independent test labs demonstrate that McAfee anti-spam consistently blocks over 98 percent of spam, including hard-to-detect image spam, thanks to its powerful combination of detection algorithms and streaming updates.

Email Security Appliance also uses McAfee’s scan engine to detect and clean viruses and other malware threats. The engine can block both known and unknown viruses and protect you against zero-day attacks . Virus and spyware filters scan every download and attachment to keep your users safe. And your entire messaging infrastructure is protected against directory harvest attacks, denial of service attacks, and other forms of abuse.

It’s easy to stay ahead of new spam campaigns. McAfee's proactive domain-name reputation and IP-reputation filtering technologies combine with streaming updates approximately every two minutes to block zero-day spam with high effectiveness.

A Better Way to Manage Quarantined Email McAfee Quarantine Manager provides easy, centralized management of spam and other forms of quarantined email. Your users can get daily summaries of quarantined messages and are able to release messages that might have been inappropriately blocked. A Microsoft Outlook plug-in allows them to configure their own blacklists and whitelists.

Security Policies that FitDifferent groups in your organization may have different needs. For example, payroll’s needs may differ from those of manufacturing. Email Security Appliance lets you configure security policies to match the needs of each group. And to make it easy, Email Security Appliance security policies can use your existing Active Directory or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory.

Comprehensive, Easy-to-Use ManagementMcAfee Email Security Appliance can be easily and centrally controlled with its built-in, browser-based management console. With a user interface that’s optimized for efficiency and ease of use, you have increased security and management control. You can assign administration of different functions to different people within your organization. Three predefined administration roles are provided out of the box—super administrator, web administrator, and report administrator—or you can create your own custom administration roles.
