Policy-based plug-in management
The plug-in architecture of VIPRE for Exchange was designed with flexibility and extendibility in mind. That way you get a robust product that enables you to comprehensively manage your email security. You can create customisable policies using VIPRE’s integrated plug-in management. VIPRE for Exchange includes plug-ins for antispam, antivirus, attachment filtering, and disclaimers.
Fast deployment in Exchange 2000-2010 environments
The VIPRE for Exchange management console enables you to install, configure, and manage your full email security from one central location. Designed as an MMC snap-in, deployment is simple with a minimum of configuration effort needed. VIPRE Email Security integrates tightly with Microsoft Exchange and provides excellent spam and virus protection, file attachment inspection, and disclaimers. Additionally, VIPRE for Exchange makes it easy to create policies across multiple messaging plug-ins.
Multiple scanning engines for higher detection and protection
VIPRE for Exchange is designed to meet both the spam and virus protection needs of your organisation. With multiple spam and virus scanning engines, you automatically receive higher detection rates and a more accurate response to the messaging threats that attempt to enter your network. VIPRE for Exchange is an integrated antispam and antivirus solution, eliminating viruses and other dangerous message content, while also filtering attachments at the Exchange server, before they reach your users.
Server-based antispam filtering
For its antispam capabilities, VIPRE for Exchange includes the Cloudmark antispam engine, GFI’s own antispam engine and support for Real-time Blackhole Lists (RBLs). This plug-in delivers spam detection against both standard and image spam using heuristic functionality and spam signature technology. Configure VIPRE for Exchange to delete, centrally quarantine, add Subject line identification, or send messages to a custom folder in the end-user’s Exchange mailbox.
Aggressive virus detection and elimination
VIPRE for Exchange uses multiple commercial antivirus engines to scan inbound and outbound email, including the GFI VIPRE antivirus engine. The engine is a comprehensive antivirus engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single, efficient, and powerful system. The technology was exclusively built by GFI, formerly Sunbelt, without building on older generation antivirus engines and addresses the performance and resource headaches associated with traditional enterprise antivirus products.
Email and attachment filtering on a per-policy basis
With powerful policy-based attachment filtering capabilities, VIPRE for Exchange enables you to configure inspection and filtering on a per-policy basis. The intelligent Suspicious Mail Attachment Removal Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) filter scans the content of a file to verify that an attachment is what it says it is; no more renaming .exe files to get around the filters. Set rules based on users and file types enabling you to quarantine potentially harmful content or attachments by file extension including .doc, .exe, .dll, .pdf, graphic files and more. For example, allow specified users to send .exe files internally while blocking them externally.
Global and policy-based disclaimers
VIPRE for Exchange allows you to configure global disclaimers for all outbound email. Add disclaimers to every email using the global disclaimer configuration. Or if you prefer, configure policies to add disclaimers to emails from specific users, groups, domains or public folders. VIPRE for Exchange also prevents multiple disclaimers when replying or forwarding and gives you the ability to allow users to bypass the disclaimer on a per email basis. Additionally, disclaimer templates are included that allow you to easily set up disclaimers using HTML or plain text. Template samples include legal disclaimers, virus warning disclaimers, copyright disclaimers, and more.
Powerful reporting options for all plug-ins
VIPRE for Exchange delivers system reporting for all plug-ins using a set of predefined reports with the ability to customise reports based on individual needs. The database-driven reporting engine can generate reports with information at the system, group, and/or user level. You can choose reporting options to show the number of inbound mail messages scanned, number of spam deleted or marked, number of viruses intercepted, number of filters triggered, percentage of viruses by name, disclaimers used, and more.
