The MailTotal Antivirus E-mail Service combines the comprehensive virus detection of MailTotal Antivirus with the specialized e-mail security scanner FireNet to provide maximum protection against viruses, Trojans and unknown threats.
MailTotal Antivirus recognizes almost 68,000 different viruses and Trojans, as well as providing a powerful neural network and set of heuristics for detecting new threats. Many of the known viruses can be automatically disinfected, allowing the rest of the message to safely arrive at its destination.
The FireNet searches message headers, body and attachments for unusual or inconsistent data which could confuse e-mail readers and cause security risks. It can also enforce per-user accept/deny policies for attachment types, Javascript and HTML content, thus eliminating whole classes of security risks - protecting not only against viruses and Trojans but also against malicious attacks tailor-made for industrial espionage or vandalism.
The MailTotal Antivirus service provides a number of basic security policies, each of which can be customized either on a company-wide or per-recipient basis. This allows companies and organizations to tailor their security policies to fit their needs - providing maximum protection with minimal interruption of normal work-flow.
For example, if only one user on the network needs to receive executable attachments (the most common carriers of viruses) to get his or her work done, then significant risk may be avoided by not allowing others to receive such files.
Central to the MailTotal Antivirus security strategy is the Message Quarantine and Backup, which both store copies of original, unmodified messages. A simple web-based interface enables subscribers to navigate within these message storages, allowing them to resend individual messages as necessary.
Customers are invariably very relieved to be able to resend recently backed-up messages in the event of a disk crash or a mistakenly deleted message. The web-based interface to the message Backup is much more accessible and easy to use for most people than the traditional tape-based backup systems.
The Quarantine stores only copies of messages which violate the company's stated security policies, allowing administrators to grant individual messages an exception from said policies in the event that a conservative security policy causes a false alarm and detains a important message unnecessarily.
Note: Some of the features discussed above are only available to SecureActive or SecurePlus customers.
