HOW AVFilter EMAIL FILTERING WORKS

The AVFilter e-mail filtering solution delivers an effective integrated email system security service that protects your company from email-borne threats before they reach your network. AVFilter provides comprehensive services to filter spam and viruses from email and to protect your email system from email attacks.

Unlike other solutions that filter email at the desktop, server or gateway, AVFilter is positioned between the Internet and your corporate network, creating a secure wall around your email system that extends to the email entry point - the Internet. All incoming email is routed through AVFilter's secure data centers and scanned by our sophisticated heuristic-rules engine, which analyzes every part of an email message - from the IP address of the sender to the message content.

This process is executed in a highly secure, automated environment that prevents anyone from viewing legitimate email. And good email is not stored to disk. AVFilter provides tools that make it easy for administrators or end-users to review quarantined email, accept messages they would like to receive and create their own white lists and black lists.

The AVFilter e-mail filtering solution provides full email system protection while offering the following advantages:

• Compatible with any email system
• No additional hardware, software, or ongoing maintenance
• All updating is done automatically at no additional cost
• No need for lengthy inventory and system qualification audits
• Extremely flexible settings allow for delegating administration responsibilities and controlling user and administrative access
• Reduces bandwidth, mail server CPU cycles, message storage and IT labor resources
• Companies get the most sophisticated solution for blocking spam and viruses - while ensuring that legitimate messages are received
