Description:
Email threats shouldn’t be treated lightly. Spam, viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, and other email threats can cripple your organization with costly downtime, lost revenue, reduced productivity, and leakage of confidential business data. It takes a specialized solution to protect groupware and email servers from these threats.
McAfee GroupShield for Microsoft Exchange provides comprehensive content security for Microsoft Exchange servers. It secures systems from harmful attacks and inappropriate data that could wreak havoc on company servers and compromise your corporate systems and networks.
Award-winning McAfee on-access scanning checks incoming and outgoing email messages for viruses, worms, and other malware and blocks the latest viruses on detection. GroupShield uses the Microsoft virus-scanning application programming interface (API ) to check messages from Microsoft Outlook Web access (OWA), Internet-based clients (POP3/IMAP), and the Outlook client (MAPI). It also scans at the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) level.
GroupShield also features advanced content management to stop inappropriate email from coming in and prevent sensitive data from leaking out. Stop inappropriate email in its tracks by blocking messages that contain specific words or phrases that violate content rules and by identifying the types of files and attachments allowed to enter or leave your organization. You can even filter and block messages based on the contents of password-protected Microsoft Office files.
Included is McAfee anti-spam technology specifically for GroupShield to block phishing scams and new spamming techniques used by the most sophisticated cyber crime rings. Spam blocking accuracy is now similar to that of our gateway appliances—McAfee Secure Internet Gateway and McAfee Secure Messaging Gateway—which have won the prestigious Checkmark Premium Anti-spam certification for blocking over 98 percent of spam with no false positives.
Save time and reduce IT headaches by managing GroupShield and other McAfee products with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® for centralized policy enforcement and detailed reporting.
