ePrism Email Filter Appliances:

ePrism Enterprise is an email security solution that provides organizations of any size with comprehensive email perimeter defense. ePrism delivers a unique combination of email security, spam protection, anti-virus and content control in an easy-to-use, high-performance appliance. Designed to be deployed between internal email servers and the Internet, ePrism supports standard email protocols and features a complete set of email filteringand security capabilities specifically designed to protect against the full spectrum of email threats and other policy violations.

Highlights:

  • Stops Viruses and Worms at the Perimeter
    ePrism offers Kaspersky Labs Antivirus, which adds an additional level of defense against all forms of malware. Email is the #1 delivery mechanism for malware and ePrism Enterprise will stop this threat to your business.
  • New Improved Spam Protection
    ePrism Enterprise employs the latest tier-one techniques for eliminating spam. The addition of technologies such as spam dictionaries, IP reputation-based detection, do main keys and anti-phishing to its multiple filtering operation, ensures that ePrism catches spam and reduces false positives better than any other solution.
  • Content Filtering
    ePrism filters content located in message bodies and headers on both inbound and outbound email traffic. New features such as advanced content scanning, expanded filtering options, customized dictionaries and policy integration enable ePrism to protect your organization by filtering confidential emails as well as increasing security and worker productivity.
  • Threat Prevention
    ePrism includes threat prevention capabilities that allow organizations to detect and block incoming threats before they reach their destination. ePrism analyzes mail flow patterns and detects when a host is behaving maliciously, protecting your organization from hackers and DoS attacks.

Features:

Spam Protection
ePrism applies multiple tests to email traffic to discover the disposition of messages. These tests use the following technologies: Specific Access Patterns, Pattern-based Message Filtering, Spam Dictionaries, IP Reputation, DNS Block List, Bulk Analysis, Token Analysis, Sender Policy Framework (SPFTM) and DomainKeysTM Authentication. Additional features for spam filtering empower you to define the action taken once a message istested. These actions include logging, modify subject header, add header, redirection to rejectemail and BCC. You can manage your quarantine or define trusted senders with a simple clickincluded in the status message from ePrism to the users. You can also define the frequency with which status messages are sent to users.

Content Filtering and Scanning

  • Advanced Content Scanning - ePrism’s deep scanning of email attachments ensures that private and confidential files are not sent out. Attachments such as PDFs, Word documents and hundreds of other file types can be scanned for individual words and phrases that are blocked based on your organization’s policies.
  • Expanded Filtering Options - Several actions allow you to create filter rules that encrypt, quarantine, BCC, notify, redirect or discard messages.
  • Dictionaries - ePrism offers custom dictionary support for content filtering allowing you to easily match simple words and phrases against message and attachment content.
  • Policy Integration - Content filtering is integrated with ePrism's policy engine allowing you to create different sets of filter rules for different users, groups and domains.

Virus Protection
ePrism includes Kaspersky Labs Antivirus®, winner of the coveted Best Anti Virus Solution award from SC Magazine. Automatic hourly updates to this virus-scanning engine ensure that the latest viruses are being identified and eradicated before they reach your host.

Malformed Message Protection
Malformed messages can allow hackers to avoid detection, crash your systems and lock up your mail servers. ePrism allows only correctly formatted messages to reach their destination.

High Availability Load Optimization (HALO)
ePrism's fail-safe clustering architecture for high availability (HALO) means your email is never lost due to individual system failure. ePrism's HALO provides security, cluster management, load balancing and "stateful failover" queue replication capabilities that guarantee consistency during a crisis. See the HALO for ePrism Enterprise datasheet for a more in-depth discussion of these features.

Deployment:

On the Internal Network
You can deploy ePrism on the Internal Network. Most businesses choose to use this configuration, although it is considered less secure.

ePrism in Parallel with the Firewall
This is the preferred deployment option for ePrism. ePrism's built-in firewall security architecture eliminates the risks associated with deploying an appliance on the perimeter of your network. Deploying the ePrism in parallel with the firewall reduces the overall load on the firewall by eliminating any mail traffic there.

ePrism on the DMZ
Deploying ePrism on the DMZ is an excellent option to be secure. This type of deployment prevents any direct connection from the Internet to the internal servers, but does not ease the existing load on the firewall.

Clustering (with Stateful Failover)
In the event that the primary owner of an email queue is unavailable (e.g. due to system failure), the mirror system can take ownership of the mirrored email queue for delivery.

Without queue replication (stateful failover), a system with undelivered messages may lose email in process if it suddenly fails. In large environments, this could translate into hundreds or thousands of messages lost forever.

Queue replication actively copies any queued email to the mirror system, ensuring that if one system should fail or be taken offline, the mirror system can take ownership of the queued emails and deliver them. If the source system successfully delivers the message, the copy of the message on the mirror server is automatically removed.
