With Astaro Security Gateway Mail Security, network administrators gain a simple and effective way to:

• Stop Spam - Implement state of the art Anti-spam features to minimise productivity loss and security vulnerability. Stop threats before they reach email servers.
• Prevent Phishing - Block emails from criminals trying to trick users into revealing confidential information. Furthermore, prevent unsuspecting users from clicking links to fraudulent websites.
• Block Viruses - Achieve unmatched detection rates for known and unknown malware. All traffic (SMTP and POP3) is inspected through two scan engines.
• Encrypt Emails - Use standard encryption methods to prevent unauthorised interception of emails. Client software is not required; all processes are transparently handled at the gateway.

More than 80% of all messages are spam related, phishing attacks are on the rise, and email spreads the majority of virus and spyware infections. Email security is therefore a major business requirement for organisations of all sizes. Furthermore, as the majority of emails are sent unprotected, comparable to a traditional postcard, organisations are exposed to major risks, including the loss of vital information and violating industry regulations when disclosing confidential or proprietary information.

The Astaro Security Gateway embodies a unified threat management solution for all of these risks, combining email filtering and encryption in one powerful appliance.
