Description

Tumbleweed MailGate delivers the most robust, effective and easy to manage email security available. Through its unrivaled content filtering, anti-virus, anti-spam, and intelligent edge defense, MailGate protects any organization, large or small, against fast-moving virus outbreaks, botnets, spam, and denial-of-service attacks – eliminating up to 90 percent of email traffic before it enters your organization.

MailGate also prevents accidental email data leakage that can jeopardize corporate reputation and regulatory compliance. MailGate provides end-to-end protection with intuitive policy controls that make it easy to enforce rules around content, users, recipients, and attachments, while providing the widest range of policy actions, from blocking to encryption. MailGate reduces the cost and complexity associated with protecting sensitive data, with innovative user interface that filters content such as credit card, social security and CUSIP with a simple check box.

ailGate combines a unique combination of on-box anomaly detection, and rate throttling, with real-time zombie detection, and IP reputation services. This provides effective defense against distributed botnet attacks – correlating spam outbreaks across multiple IP addresses, even if they have been recently hijacked, with no existing reputation. The Edge module can also eliminate directory harvest attacks, email denial-of-service attacks, malformed SMTP packets, invalid recipient addresses, and other forms of malicious and invalid messages – reducing raw email loads by more than 90 percent. And by verifying valid recipients at the perimeter, you can create IP-based block and allow lists, identify suspicious senders, and apply intelligent traffic shaping and message throttling for invalid messages. The results: you significantly enhance your email network performance. You no longer need to waste your budget on an over-scaled email infrastructure you don’t need.

Features & Benefits

Anti-spam: MailGate’s layered anti-spam filtering technologies effectively block more than 99 percent of all inbound spam, with virtually no false positives (based on independent tests performed by VeriTest and West Coast Labs). Anti-spam techniques include meticulous content analysis, image analysis, and rules-based heuristics, with automatic updates to all appliances every hour. Tumbleweed’s Message Protection Lab assure the highest levels of accuracy with detailed human review and AI-enhanced analysis by Tumbleweed’s Message Protection Lab of more than 400 million messages every day.

Anti-virus: Industry-leading McAfee or Kaspersky anti-virus engines provide complete gateway protection from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, and other forms of malware. And MailGate enables you to develop custom virus scanning policies and block selected, unauthorized file attachments and executables. Because the very first minutes and hours of new virus epidemics are critical, MailGate’ Zero-hour virus outbreak protection quarantines suspicious messages and attachments in these decisive early hours. Administrators can specify the length of time for quarantines until anti-virus vendors provide virus signature updates.

Content Filtering: MailGate prevents accidental data leaks of sensitive and proprietary information, including information about customers, employees, and intellectual property, as well as information protected by industry and government regulations. In fact, MailGate’s content-filtering capabilities that protect credit card, social security, and banking/trading (CUSIP) numbers can be enforced by clicking a simple checkbox. In addition, extensive lexicons of financial and healthcare terms, and offensive words and phrases are combined with flexible word-weighting to give you complete and granular control over a wide range of regulated information on all inbound and outbound messages, including more than 300 types of attachments—even binary and nested files.
