Sharpening
Your Defense Against Spam
The
Costly Spam Dilemma
Spam is now estimated to be 60-90% of Internet email
volume, costing the average 10,000-employee business
about $16 million a year. The spam problem doesn't
end there—inadequate spam protection jeopardizes
employee productivity, creates liability exposure,
and compromises email service reliability.
The
Cutting-Edge Mirapoint Anti-Spam Solution
Mirapoint’s MailHurdle™ technology provides
an industry-leading approach that drops up to 80%
of threats at the network edge before network bandwidth,
storage, processor and administration resources are
wasted. In combination with Mirapoint’s Full-Spectrum™
email security technology, customers can achieve overall
catch-rates of 98% with virtually zero false positives.
Automated updating provides the latest and greatest
protection against new and evolving spam threats.
Features
That Provide Extra-Sharp Protection
Baseline
Spam Protection: The
basics of spam protection are included in every Mirapoint
appliance including the Message Server and RazorGate
appliances. These features include real-time
blackhole lists (RBLs) support, integrated support
for Vipul’s Razor, reverse domain name system
(DNS) lookup, closed relay protection, and simple
mail transfer protocol (SMTP)-based authentication.
To improve message traffic management, Mirapoint's
appliances limit the number of SMTP connections that
can be made by remote hosts. To protect against denial-of-service
(DOS) attacks, Mirapoint appliances can manage and
throttle back SMTP connections to a specific IP address
if abnormal activity is detected.
Mirapoint’s
Rapid Anti-Spam Technology: Mirapoint’s
Rapid Anti- Spam technology uses information collected
on a global basis from network probes to identify
spam and virus outbreaks in real-time. With Rapid
Anti-Spam, no updates or ongoing maintenance is required
and customers can be confident they have a security
defense in place that is impervious to future attacks
and evolving techniques exploited by spammers and
many virus writers. Furthermore, since the intelligence
behind Rapid Anti-Spam is based on real-time outbreak
information not analyzing individual message content,
the approach delivers zero false-positives, works
with any type of message content and language, as
well as effectively distinguishes between legitimate
bulk mailing and spam.
Domain-Level
Black & White Lists: Black lists address
email abuse and prevent DOS attacks, while white lists
reduce false positives and prevent business-critical
email from being accidentally classified as junk mail.
Administrators can easily configure both black and
white lists through Mirapoint’s web-based administration
tools.
Personalized
End-User Controls: Users can individually
enable junk mail filtering and access their own junk
mail folder, as well as create personalized black
and white lists. These end-user controls delegate
more responsibility to end-users, better protecting
the privacy of their communications and allowing them
to individually decide what is and is not spam.
Flexible
Content Filtering: Filtering can be done
based on content in the header, body, or attachments
to a message. For example, messages with inappropriate
language can automatically be deleted or quarantined.
Content filtering is configurable at the domain level
or by individual users and can be used to view the
content of attachments including Word, Excel and PowerPoint
files.
Class-of-Service
Controls: Every Mirapoint appliance offers
class-of-service controls that define access for individual
users or domains to various features in the system,
including spam filtering. These class-of-service settings
can be stored on the Mirapoint system or in a Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. For example,
service providers and educational institutions frequently
use this feature for defining billable service packages
or tailoring functionality for specific users in a
diverse environment.
Simplified
Unified Management: To reduce costs and ease
administration, spam protection can be quickly enabled
on any existing Mirapoint appliance simply by installing
a license key. Spam filtering features are managed
through the same unified management tools used for
other email and security services, as well as incorporated
into Mirapoint’s unified logging model. Web-based
graphical reports for viewing junk mail activity and
overall filtering effectiveness are also available.
