First Email Reputation Filtering System

IronPort invented reputation filtering - the process of rate limiting suspicious senders at the connection level. This patent pending technique blocks more than 80% of spam before it even enters the network.

First in identification of new viruses

Based on the information from the SenderBase network, ironport is able to recognise abnormallities in the world-wide e-mail traffic caused by a virus outbreak in realtime with the IronPort Virus Outbreak Filter™. On an average 15 seconds after the outbreak the first anti virus signatures are available.

The IronPort Reputation Filters™ builds an outer protective barrier in the defense and analyzes the menace of the email transport on a real-time basis to identify suspect email senders.

The IronPort Anti-Spam Filter operates as an internal protective barrier against spam and offers with the slightest administration expenses in the branche one of the most precise spam detection based on content which there is nowadays.

The IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters™ identifies virues and puts them already into quarantine, long before tratitional virus signatures are provided.

The Sophos antivirus technology offers the full-integrated second virus protection level with the most powerful virus scan technology which one can find today.

With the Content Scanning Technologie it is possible to use in and out going sets of rules, based on the contents of messages. By this function the appliances are also compatible to HIPAA, SOX and GLB.

The compliance quarantine offes a delegated acces to emails which were marked by the content scanning engine.

Centralized Management removes the danger of a "single point of failure"(outage of a single component drags the complete system to a failure) by using a superior peer to peer architecture. This also decreases the administration complexity of multibox environments of IronPort Email Security Appliances.

Mail Flow Central™ enables you to find out the state of any message, that has traversed your infrastructure.

Mail Flow Monitor™ delivers an entire overview on a real-time basis about who sends you emails, and alarms administrators when suspect traffic is detected. Therefore immediate counter measures can be seized.

Email Security Manager™ offers an extremely sensitive control of the complete email security management, including preventive and reactive antispam and antivirus filter, email encryption and content filtering.

The intuitive GUI allows the reporting on a real-time basis as well as an overview about past incidents and offers the possibility to configure guidelines as well as to search messages and to dismiss selectively from the quarantine.

SNMP Enterprise MIB allows a fully automatic auditing and alarming concerning all system parameters, including hardware, security, efficiency and availability.
