Features:
The IronPort C660 provides the world’s most powerful multi-layered
approach to email security.
Spam
Protection
IronPort provides defense in depth against spam by providing
two layers of protection — 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 quarantine
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 and easily-managed solution also
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™ 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 (DKIMIM), 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 provides fingertip control to manage all email 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 multi-box 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.
IronPort MTA Platform
AsyncOS, IronPort’s proprietary operating system,
was built from the ground up to address the requirements of
modern email gateways and to position customers for the future
of SMTP. The IronPort C660 supports thousands of simultaneous
incoming and outgoing connections—ensuring that your email infrastructure
is never overwhelmed, even during the largest outbreaks or attacks.
Benefits:
Reporting Insight Proves ROI The IronPort C660
offers very sophisticated management, monitoring and
reporting tools designed to satisfy the large global
enterprises and ISPs that make up IronPort’s customer base.
Each appliance has a unique reporting system, providing both
a real-time and historical look at mail flowing through your
email infrastructure. IronPort provides system
administrators with the necessary information to make
critical security decisions and demonstrate Return On
Investment (ROI).
Reduced 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 C660 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 Administrative Efficiency IronPort’s
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 used only when needed, and rate limiting is a
very effective defense against “hit and run” spam attacks or
denial-of-service attacks.
Minimized Downtime The comprehensive IronPort C660
solution ensures the availability and security of your email
infrastructure. IronPort offers a variety of security
applications for spam and virus filtering, content scanning,
and policy enforcement. Together these features reduce the
risk and potential downtime posed by security threats.
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.
