1 About GFI MailSecurity 1.1 Introduction to GFI MailSecurity The need to monitor email messages for dangerous, offensive or confidential content has never been more evident. The most deadly viruses, able to cripple your email system and corporate network in minutes, are being distributed worldwide via email in a matter of hours (for example, the MyDoom worm). Products that perform single vendor anti-virus scanning do not provide sufficient protection. Worse still, email is likely to become the means for installing backdoors (Trojans) and other harmful programs to help potential intruders break into your network. Products restricted to a single anti-virus engine will not protect against email exploits and attacks of this kind. Your only defense is to install a comprehensive email content checking and anti-virus solution to safeguard your mail server and network. GFI MailSecurity acts as an email firewall and protects you from email viruses, exploits and threats, as well as email attacks targeted at your organization. GFI MailSecurity is totally transparent to your users and does not require additional user training.
