  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. Sunbelt Messaging Ninja • Built for Microsoft Exchange • A significant evolution in message security • Layered antivirus protection • Comprehensive plug-in architecture: • Antispam and anti-phishing • Attachment Filtering • Future versions will include: • Content inspection (internal and external) • Content auditing • Disclaimers • Server-based auto replies • Archiving

  11. Server-based approach • Eliminates deployment and administration hassle involved with desktop-based products • More affordable and simpler to license • Stops spam and viruses at the server, preventing them from entering your email infrastructure • Server level software can detect spam and viruses more effectively • Speed of deployment

  12. Flexible Messaging Security • Designed with flexibility and extendibility in mind • Enables administrators to manage entire messaging security needs • Layered Antivirus • Policy-based plug-in management • Antispam • Attachment filtering • Create customizable policies • Groups of users or single user using Active Directory • Separate policy templates for different groups • Fine tune aggressiveness of detection for all plug-ins

  13. Multiple Scanning Engines • Scans and eliminates spam and viruses at the server level • Antispam Filtering • Sunbelt’s heuristic antispam engine • Cloudmark’s signature-based engine • Antivirus Filtering • BitDefender • Authentium

  14. Advanced Antispam Filtering • Support for Real-time Blackhole lists (RBLs) • Prevent phishing attacks using Sender Policy Framework (SPF) • Rules can be created on a number of email message properties: • Body • Sender IP • Header • Subject • Ability to strip HTML content prior to scanning • Support for custom rules using regular expressions • Automatic inclusion of sent items into personal allow lists

  15. Aggressive Virus Protection • Industrial strength AV engines • Scan messages in real time as well as background scanning of the entire store • Disinfect pieces of email – quarantining or cleaning only infected files instead of stripping all attachments • Advanced settings for handling of: • Encrypted messages • Password protected compressed files • Maximum nested files and maximum message size

  16. SMART™ Attachment Filtering • Ninja’s Suspicious Mail Attachment Removal Technology™ (SMART) • Policy based • Instead of simply looking at file extensions, SMART actually looks inside many types of files to determine their true identity • Unlike legacy security products that filter at the gateway, Ninja’s attachment filtering can be used to filter all attachments: • outbound • Inbound • within the organization

  17. SMART™ Attachment Filtering • Configure inspection and filtering on a per-policy basis • Quarantine potentially harmful attachments by file extension • No more renaming .exe. files to circumvent filters • Flexible rules allow multiple actions: • Allow delivery • Quarantine attachment • Quarantine entire message • Delete attachment • Delete entire message • For a limited time, Ninja’s SMART attachment filtering is free to all organizations

  18. Powerful Reporting • Reporting available for all plug-ins • Pre-defined reports with ability to customize • Database-driven reporting engine • Generate reports at the system, group, or user level • Reports include: • Number of inbound messages scanned • Number of spam deleted or marked • Number of viruses intercepted • Percentage of viruses by name • And more
