Features and Benefits

Spam Detection
Mirapoint's multi-layered security starts with MailHurdle connection management technology. MailHurdle drops up to 80% of spam at the edge before network bandwidth, storage, processor and administration resources are spent. When combined with RAPID Anti-Spam and other protection mechanisms such as DNSBL, overall catch-rates upwards of 98% are achieved. RAPID is able to detect spam outbreaks in any language or message format as they emerge providing up-to-the-minute protection.

End-User Junk Mail Management Features
Mirapoint's innovative Junk Mail Manager allows a personal quarantine for detected spam, relieving the user's inbox, and protecting core messaging resources. Each user gets a personalized summary within their inbox allowing them to monitor the effectiveness of the quarantine.

Virus Protection
Signature-based virus protection can leave a network vulnerable for up to 24 hours before updates are available. With viruses quickly propagating across the Internet, this protection alone is not enough. Mirapoint combines a traditional signature-based virus engine with Mirapoint's RAPID Anti-Virus engine to offer zero hour protection. Viruses are identified within two minutes of an outbreak, providing the most comprehensive protection available.

Policy Management
RazorGate provides a flexible content filtering capability that can monitor inbound and outbound message traffic, allowing the establishment of corporate policies and aiding in compliance requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. A flexible filtering action list includes archive, silent wiretap, redirect, quarantine, and blocking based on keywords, message attributes, and attachment contents. The quarantine facility allows administrators to inspect messages before deciding if they should be delivered, redirected or rejected.

Quarantine Queue
The Mirapoint quarantine queue works with Mirapoint content filtering and policy enforcement tools to allow administrators to manage inbound and outbound messages. Administrators can inspect the entire message, including headers, body and attachments, and then decide to approve, reject or redirect the message.

Secure System
Mirapoint has designed the messaging appliance from the ground up with security in mind starting with the hardware. Standard security practices (such as locking down unused TCP ports, and ensuring that unneeded services do not run) are implemented out of the box, and secure communications including Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/TLS) are available as standard.

Simplified Management
RazorGate incorporates a simplified web based management console that allows the administrator to configure the system and monitor operations. RazorGate also provides standard remote monitoring tools, including email alerts and SNMP.
