A closer look
Mailscreen Virus and Worm Scanning is built on a multilayered network perimeter-platform that effectively keeps destructive messages out of your email environment. This layered combination of protection provides the strongest defense for business and service providers - even those already employing an on-premise virus software solution.
Proprietary worm detection technology is a critical layer of protection
Mass-mailing worms are becoming a formidable threat to the corporate network. With Mailscreen’s powered by McAfee® proprietary WormTraq® worm detection technology, organizations can feel confident that zero-hour mass-mailing worms will be identified and blocked before infiltrating their network.
Through sophisticated content behavior analysis, the Mailscreen Threat Center is able to quickly identify the common characteristics found in sudden surges of suspicious email messages and intercept the tainted email before damage ensues. We provide detection and protection often hours before anti-virus services can distribute signature updates to their customers.
Combining leading anti-virus engines for maximum protection
Traditional anti-virus engines are programmed differently to defend against today's unique and ever-changing virus and worms. Recognizing the limitations of using a single signature-based anti-virus engine, Mailscreen offers comprehensive, 24x7 protection through a combination of industry-leading anti-virus engines - Authentium®, McAfee® and Sophos®.
During major virus outbreaks, this layered approach virtually eliminates the risk of infection because Mailscreen can deploy the earliest-issued solutions from its three provider partners to protect its customers within minutes. For continuous defense against virus outbreaks, Mailscreen secures updates from its anti-virus partners every five minutes.
