In this issue we introduce two products that both have the capability of scanning Internet email for viruses, but they are very different solutions. Why are we carrying both, and which should you choose?
In security, one size does not fit all. Each organisation has its’ own concerns and requirements. Our consultants will discuss your situation and help you to choose the best solution for your concerns, requirements and budget.
MessageLabs is a Managed Service Provider, they take away the concerns about malicious code in Internet email by scanning your email at their Virus Control Centre at data centres on the Internet. You (or your ISP) just redirect your incoming and outgoing email via the Virus Control Centre and MessageLabs does the rest. They use three industry-leading anti-virus scanners updated every 10 minutes, and their own heuristic scanner, called SkepticTM. Easily-accessible statistical reports are provided, so you can see how much work they are saving you. MessageLabs service is ideal for organisations that want to outsource the hassle of email virus protection.
eSafe Gateway is best described as Content Security – it does a lot more than anti-virus in email. It inspects email (SMTP) web (HTTP) and FTP traffic in various ways. It stops malware: viruses, Trojans, increases productivity by blocking access to objectionable or unproductive sites and greatly reduces spam by anti-spoofing verification, blacklists and other methods. It has a host of useful features, such as adding standard company disclaimers to outgoing email. ESafe Gateway is ideal for organisations that want to take control of their Internet content.
