Explaining GFI MailSecurity

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 Nimda virus). Anti-virus vendors cannot update their signatures in time. Worse still, email is also used to install backdoors (Trojans) and other harmful programs to help potential intruders break into your network.

Your only defense is to install a comprehensive email content checking and anti-virus solution to safeguard your mail server & network. GFI MailSecurity acts as an Email Firewall and protects you from headline-hitting viruses such as Love Letter, as well as email attacks targeted at your organization.

GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP is the market leading email content security software.

GFI MailSecurity can be installed in 2 modes: the Exchange 2000 VS API mode or the SMTP gateway mode. The Exchange 2000 VS API version integrates seamlessly with Exchange Server 2000 and scans the Exchange 2000 information stores. The SMTP gateway version should be deployed at the perimeter of the network as a mail relay server.

GFI MailSecurity is totally transparent to your users - no additional user training or administration is needed.
