Anti-Spam
InterScan Gateway Security Appliance stops spam from consuming network
resources and wasting employees’ valuable time. The key to its effective protection is
the use of adaptable technology that evolves as spamming techniques change and
become more sophisticated.
• Blocks spam at the outermost network layer. Stops spam at the IP-connection
layer before it can enter your network and burden IT resources.
• Detects known spam sources. Validates IP addresses against the largest
reputation database of known spammers.
• Stops spam in real time. Uses dynamic reputation analysis to detect spam,
zombies, and botnets in real time.
• Filters messaging traffic. Blocks spam at the Internet gateway before it can get to
your mail servers and impact performance.
• Improves spam detection. Combines machine learning, pattern recognition,
heuristics, blocked sender lists and approved sender lists for better detection.
• Enables customizing. Gives the flexibility to customize policy and spam
tolerance levels.
Anti-Phishing
The anti-phishing security function in InterScan Gateway Security Appliance offers a
comprehensive approach to stop identity theft and protect confidential corporate
information.
• Filters messaging traffic. Stops fraudulent, phishing-related email at the
messaging gateway and mail servers.
• Prevents theft. Protects credit card and bank account numbers, user names, and
passwords, and so on.
Anti-Pharming
The anti-pharming security function in InterScan Gateway Security Appliance works
within the HTTP protocol to block access to known pharming Web sites.
• When enabled, this feature places a warning message in the user’s browser upon
attempted access of a known pharming site.
