modusGate 5.0 Build 916

Here are some key features of "modusGate":

Optimized for Windows-based OS and Services:
· Allows full access to the Email Security server by connecting through Remote Desktop, or using a monitor/keyboard/mouse
· Integrates Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Active Directory and Lotus Domino
· Operates with standard Linux and Window SMTP servers
· Fully compatible with Virtual Machines (VM) and virtualization

Easy to deploy:
· Integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure
· Supports a variety of deployment scenarios including fully redundant local or remote setups

Multi-layer Email Security filtering at connection and content levels:
· Connection-level performs optional IP-based checks using a customizable list of RBL servers and other security features
· Sender Reputation System (SRS) is a connection-based (IP) system which is highly reactive to spam waves and allows reputation classification based on IP addresses
· Forbidden attachment blocking allows the administrator to select specific attachment types to block automatically
· Virus and Malware protection analyzes messages using either McAfee, Norman or a combination of both virus engines. Virus definitions can be updated at custom time intervals, from minutes to hours
· Trusted and Blocked sender policies are a list of actions to execute based on specific sender domains or email addresses (whitelist and blacklist)
· Spam, phishing & foreign language filtering block spam, phishing and unauthorized languages
· Sieve policy management and custom filters allow complete customization of filtering and implementation of Policy Management procedures through an easy and fully integrated Sieve scripting language.
· Proprietary Sequential Content Analyzer (SCA) is Vircom’s advanced Artificial Intelligence engine and performs deep scanning and analysis of all email (including image spam, text and URLs) using definitions which can be updated on the fly at custom time intervals.

Email Policy Management:
· Policy Management scans both inbound and outbound directions
· Rules examine subject, body and attachments of emails
· Rules use standard dictionaries which can be commercially-available lists of terms specific to an industry (tax and accounting terms, ICD medical codes and terms) or custom created to fit organisations’ precise requirements (project codes, corporate credit card numbers, customer lists)
· Policies apply to specific users, groups (locally created or imported from Active Directory) or domains

Enhanced Sender Reputation System (SRS):
· Vircom’s enhanced Sender Reputation System determines IP reputation based on real-time activity. SRS servers are updated every 5 minutes, providing an instant reaction to new spam waves, infected computers, and cleaned hosts which have become botnet-free. These lightning fast reaction times mean SRS is the ideal counter-measure for modern botnets. SRS operates at the connection level and requires very few computing resources. Emails originating from bad reputation sources can be automatically rejected or quarantined.

Quarantine Report Delegation:
· End users can delegate their quarantine report to another person. For example, an organization’s president may want an administrative assistant to review his quarantine report for him. The assistant will only have access to the actions from within the quarantine report and the president does not have to share his credentials. Flexibility can thus be achieved while keeping security and privacy at a maximum.

Multiple level of configuration overrides for all security options:
· System-wide
· Per domain
· Per user

Microsoft Exchange Integration:
· Automatically white-list Address Book Contacts (requires Exchange 2007/2010 and Exchange Web Service)
· Automatically white-list Safe Senders (Exchange 2010 and PowerShell)

Versatile user interface and detailed reports and information:
· Windows Administration software lets you configure every single option in an easy-to-use interface
· Web Administration allows access to administration settings from anywhere at anytime and to delegate domain administration
· Web Monitor includes System Health (live performance dashboard, system activity and information), Report Schedules, and detailed statistics on Mail Filters, Security, Sender, Recipient, Disk Usage and Questionable Activities
· Quarantine reports can be emailed to every user to review the quarantine contents and release or permanently block offending material. Users can customize the report frequency.
· Message auditing keeps a detailed log of all mail activity including filtering classification and scanning history

Professional-services backed maintenance program:
· Expert service team solves most problems on the first call, no more waste of time with level 1 support filtering
