Email Security

   High-Performance Email Threat Protection

E-mail threats have transformed dramatically in recent years from a mere annoyance to a severe drain on an organization’s resources. Serving as conductors of spam, viruses, phishing and other harmful threats, e-mail-borne attacks are growing in sophistication and costing organizations an estimated $20 billion per year. That expense includes shielding against inbound e-mail threats as well as managing outbound e-mail and protecting private and confidential information.

E-mail security is a challenge because today’s attacks often contain blended threats—a virus attached to a phishing e-mail, for example—and are global in nature. An effective e-mail security solution must look beyond individual e-mails to the global e-mail lifecycle, which can include the sending server, e-mail content, attachments, embedded URLs and more. Your organization needs a high-performance security solution that fights blended threats and consolidates your e-mail infrastructure by bundling total threat protection, content filtering and compliance capabilities into a single, easy-to-use product.

Complete E-mail Security with Nearly Effortless Management

SonicWALL combines superior protection in a self-running, self-updating e-mail security solution that offers robust performance and easy, centralized management. SonicWALL Email Security ensures regulatory and internal policy compliance enabling you to identify e-mails, monitor for violations and enforce company policies.

Best Protection

SonicWALL offers the highest possible level of network protection from all inbound and outbound e-mail threats. By tracking the reputation of the e-mail servers, evaluating message content, analyzing impact on recipients, and checking embedded URLs, our end-to-end e-mail attack monitoring system shields networks from destructive spam, phishing, virus, Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA) and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Utilizing multi-technique cross-analysis, SonicWALL stops 98 percent of spam with virtually no false positives.

Effortless Control

SonicWALL Email Security provides simple configuration for first-time setup, enabling you to install and configure our solution in under an hour. Our three key management components—LDAP integration, automatic updates and administrative and end user junk box—are so easy to use that you can literally manage unwanted e-mail in less than 10 minutes per week. With SonicWALL’s centralized Web-based interface, administrators can rapidly implement robust inbound and outbound e-mail policies such as disclaimers, attachment blocking and content monitoring.

High Performance

SonicWALL ensures peak system performance through our unique preemptive scanning mail transfer agent (MTA), which offers breakthrough message analysis and industry-leading message delivery rates that are 40-290% faster than competitor solutions. SonicWALL scans e-mails in memory before they are processed by the MTA for queuing and delivery—allowing only “good” e-mail into the corporate network and optimizing the downstream performance of the entire e-mail system. SonicWALL Email Security requires fewer machines to process the e-mail load than other solutions, resulting in reduced management complexity with lower capital and operating costs.

Differentiated Protection

SonicWALL employs a variety of unique technologies that keep our solution far ahead of the competition. Our differentiators include:

Global Response Network - To ensure we offer the most up-to-date information about worldwide e-mail threats, SonicWALL maintains over one million nodes across the globe that receive messages on a daily basis.

Corporate Phishing Protection - Phishing e-mails elude most spam filters by spoofing e-mails from legitimate companies. SonicWALL delivers the only solution that uniquely identifies phishing and enables administrators to handle these messages separately.

Time Zero Virus Technology  - SonicWALL provides protection from the time a virus outbreak occurs until the time a signature update is available. Partnerships with McAfee and Kaspersky Lab enable us to keep signature updates current.

End User Controls  - SonicWALL provides personalized controls that, within pre-defined corporate limits, enable users to manage their own e-mail junk box. Through a simple administrative interface, users can search, sort, review and retrieve quarantined e-mails without burdening IT administrators.

Real-time LDAP Integration - SonicWALL Email Security leverages existing corporate LDAP servers for user management and authentication, eliminating the need for administrators to enter user information twice. SonicWALL automatically synchronizes with nearly any corporate directory so users have the same login ID and password as those used for their main system.
