Anti-virus tools can only identify known viruses. Before the labs can
issue security patches, you’re living in Zero-day – the most
dangerous period in the life of any virus, worm or Trojan.
MIMEsweeper for SMTP helps shrink the Zero-day window of vulnerability
in four important ways:
1. Continual Content Scanning
Because MIMEsweeper is already scanning all emails for content anomalies,
it will often catch malicious code before any anti-virus tool has a chance
to discover it.
This deep scanning includes malware embedded in zipped attachments.
To MIMEsweeper, if it looks funny, it is funny – and it gets quarantined.
2. Automated ThreatLab Updates
Clearswift’s industry-leading ThreatLab monitors global email traffic with the help of our 20-million user base.
When a threat is identified, ThreatLab issues updates that all MIMEsweepers
can receive automatically on an hourly basis.
Alerts are also issued directly to administrators via email, with appropriate
defensive actions – even before virus patches can be issued.
3. Multiple anti-virus support
Because MIMEsweeper for SMTP supports multiple anti-virus tools, your
likelihood of receiving the fastest possible patch are greatly increased.
4. Mail Throttle
A new throttling feature detects unusually high volumes of messages and
automatically slows the flow of emails to avoid system overload. This
prevents downtime from denial of service attacks.
