Comprehensive and Reliable Outbound Email Filtering

No organization wants to be on the receiving end of the growing quantity of junk email, viruses, and other email-borne threats. But that is only half the equation. Organizations also need to manage the intellectual property and security risks posed by email originating from within their own networks.

Overview
Email threats continue to evolve. Today, many junk email messages, phishing schemes, and worm viruses are propagated via open relays or via infected ‘zombie’ workstations. By the time an organization becomes aware that one of its systems has been compromised, the damage has already been done -- putting at risk the company's systems and often impacting the organization's ability to successfully deliver outbound email.

Furthermore, organizations are grappling with the need to protect their intellectual property in an era when the theft of trade secrets is as simple as composing an email.

Implemented as a gateway relay through which a company routes its outgoing email traffic, GFI outbound email filtering service provides a single-source, easily implemented solution to manage these
threats.

Content Filtering
GFI scans all messages using a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to detect inappropriate outbound emails -- allowing organizations and Internet Service Providers to dramatically reduce the
risks that their networks are being used to propagate spam or viruses. GFI message analysis techniques allow the detection of a broad range of junk email - from image-based spam to junk email in multiple languages. Messages with inappropriate content can be redirected or quarantined for administrator review.

Virus Detection
GFI immediately identifies viruses and stops them before they are disseminated from an organization’s network. Katharion scans messages and file attachments using a virus definition database with over 100,000 recognized viruses and variants, updated every five minutes.

Just as importantly, GFI can notify IT administrators of infected workstations, 'zombies', or other hosts attempting to disseminate viruses or junk mail, allowing the administrator to take those systems offline.

Intellectual Property Protection
How long would it take for an employee to send a customer list, customer data, or other sensitive internal documents to a competitor?

In today's information economy, organizations need to manage and protect their intellectual property. Gaining control and visibility over their outbound email is a critical component of those efforts.

GFI outbound filtering service helps ensure that employees adhere to corporate information policies and/or regulatory requirements, and provides companies with better control over messages
leaving their network. Administrators can specify rules for their outbound email, using parameters including the sender, recipient, and attachment type.

GFI integrated reporting capabilities provide administrators with a full audit trail of messages sent - giving administrators much-needed visibility into their organization's outbound email messages.
