Sophos Email Appliance

An advanced, all-in-one solution for email security, Sophos Email Appliance delivers encryption, DLP, anti-spam and threat protection features.

Description

The Sophos Email Appliance is an email security gateway product. It closely examines email messages to determine if they contain any suspicious content, such as spam, malware and phishing attempts. If any such content is detected, the Sophos Email Appliance blocks it so that it cannot reach its destination and potentially cause a data breach or other compromise. Because such a large percentage of threats today are email-borne, having a robust email security gateway protecting an organization has generally become a necessity.

Sophos Email Appliance is an all-in-one solution for email encryption, DLP, anti-spam and threat protection. It provides advanced protection from today’s sophisticated spear phishing attacks and gives you full control over data leaving your organization via email.

Highlights:

  • Block targeted spear phishing attacks;
  • Protect users from new zero-day threats;
  • Advanced multi-layer spam detection;
  • Support for SPF and DKIM anti-spoofing;
  • Easily create DLP policies;
  • Unique SPX Encryption is easy and transparent.

Advanced threat protection

Sophos Time-of-Click protection blocks malicious email URLs, protecting your users from stealthy, delayed, spear phishing attacks. Every URL, in every email, is secured. Every time an email link is clicked, on any device, its reputation is checked against our cloud-hosted Sophos SXL database. No client software is required, speeding implementation and reducing user disruption. Our new Sophos Sandstorm* enhances targeted attack protection, visibility, and analysis. Sandstorm complements our advanced antivirus scanning engine to quickly and accurately detect, block, and respond to evasive threats using powerful cloud-based, next-generation sandbox technology.

Quick and easy data protection compliance

Our wizard-based DLP rules and policy-based encryption makes email data protection simple— preventing costly data-loss incidents. Using our built-in lexicon of hundreds of sensitive data types, you can quickly and easily build DLP policies for users or groups. Protect your information by blocking messages containing sensitive data or by encrypting them before they leave the network gateway.

SPX Encryption—encryption you can use

Our patent-pending simple SPX Encryption is transparent, simple and requires no changes to user workflow. It doesn’t require clumsy and expensive key management or additional software. SPX Encryption simply encapsulates the email content and attachments into a secure encrypted PDF that can’t be hacked or cracked. But it allows users to view their encrypted email anywhere: in their preferred email client, in their webmail or on their mobile device.

Stamp out snowshoe spam and suspicious email content

Our sophisticated email filtering protects users from the latest snowshoe spam, identity theft, password scams and more by looking for suspicious content, attachments or URLs. Support for Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) ensures spam and phishing attacks attempting to spoof legitimate sender domains are blocked. You can also block unwanted content and be sure our proven antivirus scanning is catching the latest threats.
