Using SaaS Email Protection
SaaS email protection supplements the email scans performed on client computers by virus and
spyware protection. SaaS email protection scans messages before they are delivered, with options to
deny or quarantine messages detected as spam.
SaaS email protection checks for spam, phishing scams, viruses, directory harvest attacks, and other
email-borne threats in messages and attachments.
SaaS email protection resides outside the network, requiring no system resources. Your company's
email is redirected through the McAfee multi-layered spam detection system and scanned before
entering the network, with less than a one-second delay in transit.
SaaS email protection provides:
•
Protection from email-borne threats — The flood of email threats is stopped before entering
the network.
•
Real-time, around-the-clock email security — Email is processed all day, every day in real time
through a highly secure system architecture that operates with no detectable latency.
•
Simplified management — Centralized, web-based policy management through a SaaS email
protection portal allows you to configure comprehensive policies for spam, viruses, and content
filtering (for inappropriate words and phrases). You can also check email statistics and activity,
view reports, and check quarantined messages.
