Third Generation Messaging Security • Third generation email security platform • Multi-layered and policy-based approach • Comprehensive protection against all email-borne threats • Policy-based framework with best-of-breed messaging security plug-ins • Plug-ins seamlessly work together in an easy to use, “all-in-one” MMC environment • Allows you to create policies for the different groups in your organization • Easily secure messaging infrastructure and stop threats at the Exchange server
Current Messaging Security • Separate products for: • Antivirus • Antispam • Attachment filtering • Disclaimers • Content auditing/filtering • Archiving • Integrated solutions with antispam and antivirus • Often includes “extension” filtering but not true “attachment” filtering
Integrated Solutions are Better • According to a study by IDC, the complexity of managing security technologies is fast becoming a major priority for organizations • Vendors are shifting their focus from a single type of protection towards a broad protection from a range of emerging threats to enterprise security. • Centrally managed, integrated, all in one offering that tackles several threats Source:Brian Burke, Research Manager, IDC - May 2006
Integrated Solutions are Better • Installing a combination of separate security software: • Do not “talk” to, or cooperate with, one another • Leaves numerous entry points for hackers or virus writers • Lacking resources, SMBs have been forced to assemble piecemeal security “solutions” • Multiple patch points • Exposure is higher to vulnerabilities Source: CipherTrust, June 2005
