Astaro Security Gateway Mail Security

Antispam, Antiphishing, Antivirus and Email Encryption.

With Astaro Security Gateway Mail Security, network administrators gain a simple and effective way to:

Stop Spam
Prevent Phishing
Block Viruses
Encrypt Emails

Stop Spam: Implement state of the art Antispam features to minimize productivity loss and security vulnerability. Stop threats before they reach email servers.
Prevent Phishing: Block emails from criminals trying to trick users into revealing confidential information. Furthermore, prevent unsuspecting users from clicking links to fraudulent websites.
Block Viruses: Achieve unmatched detection rates for known and unknown malware. All traffic (SMTP and POP3) is inspected through two scan engines.
Encrypt Emails: Use standard encryption methods to prevent unauthorized interception of emails. Client software is not required; all processes are transparently handled at the gateway.

More than 80% of all messages are spam related, phishing attacks are on the rise and email spreads the majority of virus and spyware infections. Email security is therefore a major business requirement for organizations of all sizes. Furthermore, as the majority of emails are sent unprotected, comparable to a traditional postcard, organizations are exposed to major risks including the loss of vital information or violating industry regulations when disclosing confidential or proprietary information.

The Astaro Security Gateway embodies a unified solution for all of these risks, combining email filtering and encryption in one powerful appliance.
