Mail-SeCure Series

PineApp™ Mail-SeCure™ is a leading email security appliance. Mail-SeCure protects emails in two phases: Perimeter security engines that focus on stopping the vast majority of threats by looking at the credibility of their sources before they penetrate the customer’s network. PineApp’s perimeter security approach helps save a substantial amount of system resources previously wasted on unnecessary content inspections. Post perimeter protection includes in-depth analysis by different anti-spam content inspection engines. PineApp’s Mail-SeCure solution has recently gained the Anti-Spam Checkmark Certification at the Premium level, achieving a detection rate of over 99%.

FEATURES

Advanced Array Management
When working with a cluster of three or more Mail-SeCure appliances, Mail-SeCure enables centralized management of mail-traffic and quarantine logs. Logs from several mail scanning appliances are delivered and stored on one dedicated Mail-SeCure management appliance, simplifying many management and auditing procedures.

Redundancy and High Availability
Mail-SeCure 3000R and 5000 hardware platforms provides full redundancy by applying dual power supplies and hard drives (RAID 1), thus enabling high availability in case of failure.

Integrated Load Balancing
There is no need to purchase third-party load balancing devices. Mail-SeCure’s internal load balancing feature enables the scaling of traffic between two or more Mail-SeCure appliances with several distribution methods, thus saving major IT costs.

Perimeter-Based Advanced Spam Protection
Mail-SeCure is equipped with an advanced, multi layered anti-spam module, which stops most threats (up to 90%) at the perimeter level (prior to the organization’s network), resulting in major savings in bandwidth and system resources, along with a better detection rate (less data is read by the system) and a reduced false positive ratio. Post perimeter protection includes in-depth analysis by different anti-spam content inspection engines. Mail-SeCure’s anti-spam module is enhanced by proven technology that prevents all known spam, including image-based spam. As a result, Mail-SeCure is able to identify 99% of incoming spam, immediately blocking it or tagging it as spam in accordance with the organization’s policy. By combining anti-spam technologies with advanced policy management, PineApp has reduced the false positive ratio to almost zero.

Mail Encryption Solution (optional)
Mail-SeCure offers a powerful, comprehensive, centrally managed email encryption service to ensure that confidential emails remain confidential. As easy to use as regular email, it allows users to seamlessly encrypt messages, according to the organization’s security policy.

Advanced Management
Mail-SeCure provides a set of highly sophisticated but flexible management tools, which allow system administrators, postmasters and end users to design smart and efficient policy enforcement measures and have complete control over auditing and management.

Data Leakage Prevention and Content Compliance Package
To help system administrators preserve a strong data security policy, in full compliance with worldwide and domestic content regulation, Mail-SeCure supplies a comprehensive toolkit that provides deep content analysis of more than 300 file types to block data leakage and attempted theft.

Inappropriate Content Control (ICC) (optional)
Mail-SeCure offers an optional image-scanning module, set to detect, block and report any inappropriate images (containing pornography, nudity etc.) embedded or attached to incoming mail messages, according to a threshold customizable scale. Mail-SeCure’s ICC module also offers a synchronizing feature with the IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) URL blacklist, preventing any malicious content websites from embedding links in incoming mail messages. The use of ICC adds substantially to the efficiency and coverage of the appliance’s content inspection array.

LDAP support
Mail-SeCure supports synchronization with various directory service clients (Exchange, AD, Lotus notes etc.), for automatic user creation and management.

Backscatter Prevention
Backscatter is a non-delivery notice received either from people whom no one in the organization has sent mail to or from an unknown source. Backscatter is caused by viruses that infect computers outside the network, forging the “From” line of an email message by randomly selecting addresses from an infected machine’s address book. Backscatter is also caused by spammers who put another person’s email address as the return address on their spam. This can cause hundreds and even thousands of emails to be sent to the person’s mail server. Mail-SeCure significantly reduces the amount of backscatter via a unique feature that prevents backscatter and keeps unwanted bounce-back messages from entering the network.

User Personal Daily Traffic Reports
By issuing a daily traffic report mail message, Mail-SeCure allows customers to manage their own personal black and white lists and release any mail that has been blocked as spam. The appliance sends a report containing a summary of all incoming mail messages that arrived for the specified customer since the last daily report delivery. Mail-SeCure can send hourly reports with customizable functionality (e.g., with/without the ability to black and white list a certain address or domain, with/without a link to personal quarantine etc.). This saves the system administrator unnecessary work because users can manage their own lists without compromising or affecting the organization’s global security policy.
