Features:
The IronPort X1060 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’s 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
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 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 provides fingertip control to manage all email security
– including preventive and reactive anti-spam and anti-virus
filters, email encryption, compliance and data loss prevention.
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 and data loss prevention
violations.
SNMP Enterprise MIB facilitates hands-off monitoring
and alerting for all system parameters including hardware, security,
performance and availablility.
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 X1060 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 X1060 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 X1060 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 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, organizations 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 X1060
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 data loss
prevention. Together these features reduce the risk and potential
downtime posed by security threats.
