16 McAfee Total Protection Service 5.1.5 Product Guide
Protects against email threats by scanning messages before they reach
your network. Blocks or quarantines detections of directory harvest attacks,
spam, phishing scams, viruses, and other email-borne threats in messages
and attachments. Based on SaaS Email Protection and can be enhanced
with these additional services:
• SaaS Email Archiving — Stores email messages in a centralized, secure
location.
• SaaS Email Continuity — Enables web-based email access during outages.
• SaaS Email Intelligent Routing — Routes filtered email to distributed
email systems.
If you have subscribed to email protection previously, your account will be
migrated to SaaS email protection. McAfee will notify you when this occurs
and provide instructions for setting up the new account.
Web filtering works within browser protection to add policy and reporting
options. You can block user access to websites and file downloads or warn
them about reported threats, customize messaging that displays for
blocked sites, create lists of authorized and prohibited websites based on
their domain or URL, or view a report of web browsing activity on your
network.
Vulnerability scanning enables you to register IP addresses, then scan them
for vulnerabilities and report scan results to the SecurityCenter in alerts.
The single sign-on feature lets you open the SaaS email protection or
vulnerability scanning portal directly from the SecurityCenter, without
entering additional login credentials.
Security Service for Exchange uses advanced heuristics to protect your
Microsoft Exchange server version 2003 or 2007 from viruses, unwanted
content, potentially unwanted programs, and banned file types and
messages. It also scans:
• Subject line and body of the email messages.
• Email attachments (based on file type, file name, and file size).
• Text within the email attachments.
Additionally, Security Service for Exchange includes the add-on component
Anti-Spam for Mail Servers, which protects your Exchange server from
spam and phishing emails.
