Free new email tests. (Security).

GFI's Email Security Testing Zone www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest has launched free new email tests. The new tests enable administrators to find out free of charge if their network is protected against emails using the Iframe Remote and Object Codebase exploits, and to check whether their anti-virus software is working properly.

GFI's Email Security Testing Zone aims to help administrators keep abreast of the latest email threats and ensure that their networks are protected against them, The new tests check if an email client is vulnerable to emails that use the Iframe Remote and Object

Codebase exploits. Emails that use either of these exploits are dangerous as they can circumvent client level anti-virus protection and/or security settings on the target machine, thereby granting unauthorized access to a malicious user. Email viruses that rely on email exploits to disseminate are becoming more frequent, overpowering traditional methods of email security. This means that security administrators must step up their network security and use innovative multi-layered products against the latest email threats, Products restricted to a single anti-virus engine no longer offer sufficient protection; an email exploit detection engine like the one included with GFI MailSecurity, is a must to combat such email attacks.
