F-Secure today announces the arrival of the F-Secure Messaging
Security Gateway™ P-Series to help large enterprises and service
partners combat spam, viruses, phishing, denial of service attacks
and directory harvesting attacks. Developed in co-operation with
Proofpoint, the leader in large-enterprise messaging security
solutions, the Messaging Security appliance also helps enterprises
and service partners to enforce outbound email policies, defend
against leakages of confidential information and comply with
email-related regulations.
The solution has been designed to provide large organizations
with the most cost-effective, future-proof solution for messaging
security, ensuring that only legitimate messages enter and exit the
enterprise. High availability is ensured by redundant power
supplies, network interfaces and storage components. The two
gateway models now available can be easily deployed in any
combination to support tens of millions of messages per day.
The new P-Series is highly scalable and can be easily deployed
in industry-standard cluster configurations to support complex or
geographically distributed data centers. The product architecture
allows multiple agent gateways to be managed from a single master
console. The product provides a centralized, 100 percent web-based
administration interface for defining messaging policies,
monitoring messaging infrastructure, reporting and configuring
end-user controls. At the same time an extensive set of predefined
reports provide full visibility into the state of an enterprise
messaging system.
The F-Secure Messaging Security Gateway appliances utilize the
next generation in technology for email security taking automatic,
corrective action using SMTP traffic control. Malicious connections
are automatically blocked or throttled based on fully customizable
mail traffic policies. The email firewall provides an impenetrable
defense against a wide variety of network-level attacks thus
keeping networks and email users safe while preserving network
bandwidth.
Proofpoint's MLX Dynamic Reputation technology is the basis for
the unrivalled anti-spam accuracy delivered by the Messaging
Security Gateway appliance. Using MLX's machine learning
capabilities, the spam detection module analyzes more than 200,000
structural and content attributes to accurately differentiate
between spam and valid messages. Traditional anti-spam solutions
evaluate only a limited number of attributes and are unable to
decisively classify spam, leading to low effectiveness and a high
rate of false positives. At the same time, F-Secure’s award winning
anti-virus technology provides the industry’s most accurate
protection against viruses. In antivirus, where speed is of utmost
importance, F-Secure maintains record response times and sets the
pace of development.
F-Secure Messaging Security Gateway P-Series appliances are
immediately available in two different models the P600 and the
P800.
