Proventia Network mail security system.Interact Security Systems, Inc. have introduced the Proventia Network Mail Security System, the company's first security appliance Security appliances protect computer networks from unwanted data traffic, intruders, email spam, enforce policies, and may also be used to create and manage VPNs. There are a number of types of security appliances. dedicated solely to protecting an organisation's messaging infrastructure. Unlike existing e-mail security solutions that tend to focus only on anti-spare technology, the new ISS ISS See Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS). solution offers comprehensive, pre-emptive pre·emp·tive or pre-emp·tive adj. 1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of preemption. 2. Having or granted by the right of preemption. 3. a. protection against messaging threats through industry-leading intrusion prevention See IPS and IDS. system (IPS) technology and the patented ISS Virus Prevention System (VPS (1) (Vectors Per Second) The measurement of the speed of a vector or array processor. See vector, vector processor and array processor. (2) (Virtual Private Server) See OS virtualization. ). Proventia Network Mail is an extension of the ISS protection platform, which provides end-to-end protection against threats to enterprise endpoints, servers, networks and gateways. Designed for enterprises and managed service providers, the Proventia Network Mail appliance scales to support the demands of large organisations. It can be configured to as few as 2,500 users or up to hundreds of thousands of users with minimal appliance deployments. Through a combination of IPS, virus blocking, anti-spam and embedded URL URL in full Uniform Resource Locator Address of a resource on the Internet. The resource can be any type of file stored on a server, such as a Web page, a text file, a graphics file, or an application program. filtering technologies, Proventia Network Mail protects against spam and the full realm of malicious code affecting e-mail systems through the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. protocol, including phishing attacks, viruses, worms and other malcode. The appliance inspects the content of each e-mail that enters an organisation at multiple levels, ensuring 98 per cent effectiveness in spam blocking. While it is widely estimated that 80 to 90 per cent of the world[s incoming e-mail traffic is spam, companies are recognising that anti-spam technology alone is not enough to prevent their messaging infrastructures from being shut down by attackers, used to infiltrate other parts of the network or even harvested for users? personal information. We are confident that ISS? proven IPS and VPS technologies will significantly help companies like ours to regain control of our messaging infrastructure. ISS technology is backed by the world-renowned ISS X-Force research and development team. Consistently rivalling independent researchers and other security vendors with cutting-edge findings, the X-Force discovered 51 per cent of the high-risk vulnerabilities found by commercial security research groups from 1998 to 2005. www.iss.com |
