Anti Virus Protection
It's well documented that the majority of computer viruses threatening networks and PC's are spread through email. While most companies use a degree of anti virus protection, it's generally accepted that the best form of defence against these email borne viruses is to prevent them from reaching the network or PC in the first place.
Using world leading anti virus technology from Kaspersky, our anti virus mail filter scans and detects known viruses within inbound emails, checking for viruses, trojans, worms and other unwanted threats.
The software uses a variety of anti virus techniques, including attachment type scanning, and content filtering to detect additional potential threats.
Content Filtration
Businesses are now exposed to the real risk of legal liability especially harassment. Email attachments and web browsing are the usual sources of inappropriate content with Spam type email being regarded as the #1 threat.
Our mail filter content filtration uses the Content Databases to identify and remove inappropriate materials and ensure the business remains protected. The Content Database contains in excess of 30 million digital fingerprints. These fingerprints are generated from an assessment process that identifies threatening or inappropriate material with Adult materials having the largest volume and the highest priority. Files, images & URLs found within emails are compared against the database for matches. The database is currently updated with 100,000 new files each week -including websites assessed and categorised as illegal by the Internet Watch Foundation.
10 Top Line Categories which are then broken into over 200 Sub categories and topics providing extensive and comprehensive coverage of the most widely accessed sites on the Internet: Adult, Music, Caution, Recreation, Computers, Shopping, Games & Gaming, Sports, Web Mail & Threats .
Anti Spam
BounceStorm
Protection
A unique Feature. Bounced emails are a significant
problem with spam that has used spoofed email addresses.
What happens to all the bounce back emails that have been blocked or filtered?
The
answer is that the organisation that legitimately uses spoofed
email address is hit by a deluge of email messages.
Our anti spam Mail Filter
protects its clients by inserting a code into their outgoing
messages, which can then be detected in legitimate
bounce backs. If the code is found, our anti spam mail filter will
allow the bounce back through -if it is not detected, the
MailFilter can take one of several actions based upon policy
e.g. do not deliver and delete.
White
lists
Controlled lists of ‘safe
or acceptable’email addresses and domains that can
be configured on a personal/organisational level and are
considered as senders of legitimate email.
Black
Lists
Controlled lists of ‘deny/block
delivery’email addresses and domains that can be configured
on a personal/organisational level and are considered senders
of spam or unsolicited email.
On-Line
Blocking Lists

a variety of organisations and bodies that contain data,
such as IP addresses, and information about known spam and
phishing sources.
Keyword & Lexical
Analysis
Key words and phrase
analysis. The entire email is combed for various phrases
and words which when combined would in all probability indicate
a spam type message e.g. ‘Viagra’, ‘Low
priced meds’, ‘save massively on software’.
Central
Database
A proprietary database,
built up over the past 6 years, containing over 30 million
files of inappropriate content, web sites addresses, images

being updated by our team of assessors and is being added
to at a rate of over 100 000 new threats files per week.
This enables us to identify emails containing inappropriate
materials or urls.
