Overview:
Medium-sized enterprises face the same daunting challenges
as the Fortune 500 and Global 2000 – higher mail volumes
and new, evolving threats. The IronPort C360 is purpose-
built on the foundation of the IronPort AsyncOS operating
system, to provide power for today’s volumes and high-performance
scanning for tomorrow’s threats. The unparalleled performance
of the IronPort email security appliance delivers industry-leading
protection from inbound spam and virus attacks and outbound
data loss possibilities, in an easy-to-use appliance.
Today’s email-borne threats consist of virus attacks,
spam, false positives, distributed denial-of-service
(DDoS) attacks, spyware, phishing (fraud), regulatory
compliance violations and data loss. The IronPort C360
email security appliance addresses the issues faced
by corporations, both large and small, by incorporating
preventive and reactive security measures that are easy
to deploy and manage.
Features:
The IronPort C360 contains a powerful multi-layered
approach to email security – providing advanced threat
prevention, blocking spam and viruses, and enabling
corporate data loss prevention and remediation.
Spam
Protection
IronPort provides defense in depth against spam with
a preventive layer of reputation filters, followed by
reactive filters.
IronPort Reputation Filters provide an outer
layer of defense using IronPort SenderBase® data to
perform a real-time email traffic threat assessment
and identify suspicious email senders.
IronPort Anti-Spam Filters utilize the industry’s
most innovative approach to threat detection, based
on IronPort’s unique
Context Adaptive Scanning Engine™ (CASE). IronPort’s
CASE examines the complete context of a message, including:
“What” content the message contains, “How” the message
is constructed, “Who” is sending the message, and “Where”
the call to action of the message takes you. By combining
these elements, IronPort Anti-Spam stops the broadest
range of threats with industry-leading accuracy.
The IronPort Spam Quarantine is a self- service
end-user solution, with an easy to use Web or email-based
interface. This feature provides end-users with their
own safe holding area for spam messages and integrates
seamlessly with existing directory and mail systems.
Virus Protection
IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters identify and
stop viruses hours before traditional virus signatures
are available.
Sophos Anti-Virus technology provides a fully
integrated second layer of virus protection with the
highest-performance virus scanning technology in the
industry.
McAfee Anti-Virus technology is fully integrated
to provide an additional layer of protection (either
in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, Sophos)
for maximum virus security.
Data Loss Prevention
Integrated Compliance Filters allow customers
to address PCI, HIPAA, GLB, SOX and other regulatory
compliance requirements. IronPort’s easily deployed
solution defends against regulatory compliance violations,
enables intellectual property protection and enforces
organizations’ acceptable use policies.
IronPort Email Encryption gives administrators
the ability to secure confidential data and comply with
partner, customer or regulatory requirements. IronPort
PXE™ encryption technology enables simple, secure communication
from the gateway to any recipient inbox — while TLS,
PGP and S/MIME technology provide security between partner
email gateways.
Compliance Quarantine provides delegated access
to emails that have been flagged by the content scanning
engine.
Email
Authentication
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and DomainKeys
verification and signing digitally process messages
to establish and protect identities with email senders
and receivers on the Internet.
IronPort Bounce Verification tags messages
with a digital watermark to provide filtering of bounce
attacks at the network edge.
Directory Harvest Attack Prevention tracks
spammers who send to invalid recipients and blocks attempts
to steal email directory information.
Enterprise Management Tools
Email Security Manager is a powerful, graphical
management tool that yields fingertip control to manage
all security – including preventive and reactive anti-spam
and anti-virus filters, email encryption and content
filtering.
Intuitive GUI enables unprecedented visibility
and control. The integrated Web-based user interface
enables real-time and historical reporting along with
the ability to configure policies, search, and selectively
release quarantined messages.
Centralized Management eliminates a single
point of failure with superior “peer to peer” architecture,
and makes managing multibox installations of IronPort
email security appliances simple. The ability to manage
configuration at multiple levels allows organizations
to manage globally while complying with local policies.
Email Security Monitor delivers real-time
threat monitoring and reporting. This technology tracks
every system connecting to your IronPort appliance to
identify Internet threats (such as spam, viruses and
denial-of-service attacks), monitor internal user trends
and highlight compliance violations.
SNMP Enterprise MIB facilitates hands-off
monitoring and alerting for all system parameters including
hardware, security, performance, and availability.
Benefits:
Unprecedented Insight IronPort technology
demonstrates Return On Investment (ROI) through very
sophisticated management, monitoring and reporting tools.
Each appliance has a unique reporting system, providing
both a real-time and historical look at mail flowing
through your email infrastructure. These tools provide
system administrators with the necessary information
to make critical security decisions.
Reduced Administrative Burden The IronPort
C360 uses the industry’s most advanced technology to
deal with threats and anomalies in a fully automated
manner. This allows highly skilled IT staff to focus
on other problems and leave the email issues to IronPort.
Lower TCO The IronPort MTA platform enables
massive reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by
consolidating email operations and security into a single
platform. Self-managing security services provide the
lowest-maintenance solution in the industry with minimal
configuration requirements.
Increased End-User Productivity By securing
the network at the gateway level, the IronPort C360
acts as a “shock absorber,” in front of the groupware
server(s). This ensures that end-users are not bogged
down by spam, viruses, and other threats. Unlike other
solutions, IronPort security services do not rely on
end-users to “train” the system. Instead, high accuracy
is maintained through continuous and automatic rule
updates.
Improved Network Efficiency The IronPort Reputation
Filtering system was the first in the industry and remains
the most sophisticated. In its default settings, the
system will block over 80 percent of incoming mail at
the connection level. By eliminating these unwanted
messages, companies save bandwidth (the message is never
accepted) and system resources. CPU-intensive spam and
virus filters are only used when needed, and rate limiting
is a very effective defense against “hit and run” spam
attacks or denial-of-service attacks.
Today’s email-borne threats consist of virus
attacks, spam, false-positives, distributed denial of
service attacks, directory harvest attacks, phishing
(fraud), data loss and more. The IronPort C360 email
security appliance addresses the issues faced by medium-sized
enterprises and satellite offices, by uniquely combining
powerful performance with preventive and reactive security
measures that are easy to deploy and manage.
