Detect and stop viruses before any other technology.
A proven preventive solution, IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters™
provide a critical first layer of defense against new outbreaks
hours before signatures used by traditional anti-virus solutions
are in place. Real world results show an average lead time over
reactive anti-virus solutions of 14 hours, along with an extremely
high catch rate and near zero misclassifications. Integrated
into IronPort's C-Series™ email security appliances, IronPort
Virus Outbreak Filters perform a threat assessment of inbound
and outbound messages, and quarantines suspicious messages temporarily.
Messages are automatically released once signatures from traditional
anti-virus vendors are deployed.

Over 100,000 organizations participate
in the SenderBase
Network, enabling the world's largest email traffic monitoring
system.
Features:
Fast, Accurate Detection:
Real-time detection powered by SenderBase®—the world's
largest email and web traffic monitoring network. IronPort's
SenderBase Network captures data from over 100,000 contributing
organizations around the world, and has a view into a remarkable
25% of the world's email traffic, providing unparalleled capabilities
in accurately identifying anomalies that are proven predictors
of an outbreak. More
The 24x7x365 IronPort Threat Operation Center provides
human oversight to ensure speed and accuracy. Experienced analysts
use sophisticated tools to verify anomalies and approve automatically
generated Outbreak Rules. A customer-facing website also is
continuously updated with data on current outbreaks.
Automatic Protection:
IronPort's exclusive Context Adaptive Scoring Engine (CASE)
scans messages against both "real-time" Outbreak Rules and "always
on" Adaptive Rules to accurately identify and quarantine viral
messages. Suspicious messages are temporarily quarantined.
IronPort's unique Dynamic Quarantine allows IronPort
Virus Outbreak Filters to immediately quarantine viral messages
based on limited information, without cost. Quarantined messages
are continuously re-evaluated against the latest, increasingly
fine-grained rules, and released if they do not match.
Comprehensive Management:
An integrated Web-based user interface makes it easy
to setup and configure the solution to meet corporate-specific
requirements. Administrators can easily configure policy parameters,
select the forms of protection that are enabled, and more.
A full suite of alerts and reports, plus a detailed support
website ensures complete visibility into global and local
outbreak activity.
Unmatched efficacy plus automated quarantine and release
translates into zero ongoing administration. Minimal misclassifications
eliminate administrator intervention and customer support overhead.
In addition, the Dynamic Quarantine enables automated release,
based on updated signature availability.
Benefits:
Proven Results IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters are
the industry's only proven preventive solution for catching
new outbreaks. For over a year, IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters
has been preventing virus outbreaks from infecting top ISPs,
Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, as well as major universities.
The solution has a track record of providing protection up to
42 hours ahead of traditional anti-virus solutions, along with
a high catch rate and minimal misclassifications.
Massive Cost Savings By detecting new outbreaks in
real time, and dynamically responding to stop infected messages
for hours prior to a traditional anti-virus signature is in
place, IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters protect companies of
all sizes against significant network damage.
Easily Measurable On average, IronPort Virus Outbreak
Filters in use at a typical Global 2000 company will block more
than 10,000 infected messages per outbreak. Stopping this many
infected messages allows the solution to pay for itself in a
single outbreak.
Easy Setup, Zero Ongoing Administration IronPort Virus
Outbreak Filters is easy to setup and configure to meet corporate-specific
requirements, but is fully automated and requires no ongoing
management. Administrators can be "hands-on" or they can leave
the system alone and let the automatic Dynamic Quarantine take
care of blocking, scanning, and releasing messages ・saving valuable
bandwidth and system resources. Administrators have complete
visibility to outbreak activity.
