Mirapoint’s RazorGate Messaging Security Appliance Offers Security Throughout The Network – Not Just The Edge
In order to address the wide range of messaging risks, next-generation solutions need to take a comprehensive, integrated, multi-layered approach to email security. They must be optimized with technology components tailored for security prevention, including features like hardened system design and hacker-proof operating system software. Additionally, these solutions need to be feature-rich and designed for the quick and easy rollout of security services, such as anti-spam, anti-virus, policy enforcement, storage, archival, and other security and protection services.

Mirapoint’s RazorGate offers Industry Unique Features to Meet Evolving Security Threats

The Only TRUE Email Security Gateway Appliance on the Market Today: RazorGate is the only security appliance on the market today to deliver true appliance features such as proven 99.999% uptime, a hardened OS (MOS) that has never been hacked, lights out management, hot swappable drives and the ability to rebuild the unit locally.

Zero Hour Spam Protection: RazorGate’s RAPID Anti-Spam technology continuously utilizes information collected on a global basis from network probes to identify and block spam outbreaks in real-time. RAPID Anti-Spam is equally effective against spam, fraud, phishing and malware. Rather than evaluating each individual message, the RAPID Anti-Spam approach analyzes large volumes of Internet traffic in real-time and outbreaks are identified as soon as they emerge. The result is language independent instant protection from both text based spam as well as image based spam – far ahead of signatures or software updates of other products available on the market today.

Zero Hour Virus Protection: RazorGate’s RAPID Anti-Virus technology adds an additional layer of real-time protection. By using information collected on a global basis from a network of over 30 million probes to address emerging threats, RAPID Anti-Virus helps customers identify viruses within minutes of an outbreak. In comparison, signature-based approaches alone often take up to 24 hours to get updated before they start protecting an organization’s network from attack, which is often too late to affect the initial peak in message volumes associated with an emerging virus propagating in the wild (typically 6-8 hours from an outbreak). In addition, RAPID does not stop the flow of SMTP traffic while scanning occurs, which reduces latency of messages into the network.

Content Filtering and Policy Management: RazorGate offers flexible content filtering for inbound and outbound message traffic, as well as enforcement of regulatory compliance and corporate policies. This ensures that sensitive material is not distributed without authorization. Administrators can establish filters to delete, forward, queue, archive or quarantine messages based on specific keywords message attributes. With Mirapoint’s wiretap capabilities, messages (including the SMTP envelope) are copied to be stored in archive for retention and audit purposes. Mirapoint can apply different levels of service to different users and groups based on their role, location, and time of day.

Individualized Mail Quotas, Retention, Scanning and Tagging Policies: RazorGate offers the most granular user based policies on the market today for a variety of security management needs. Based on the individual the administrator can set up specific policies on a per user basis to enable individualized queuing, determine how long messages should be retained, who should be scanned and which messages should tagged. This “Class of Service” policy model allows the administrator to deliver security in an individualized manner depending upon their role or which group they are in.

Integrated LDAP Server: By offering an integrated LDAP server in the RazorGate – the only security gateway offered with integrated LDAP – provides recipient checking to assure that recipients are checked for authenticity within the RazorGate without the need to go to an additional authentication source. This fully self contained approach provides a higher performing more robust security layer than other security gateways on the market today.

End User Controls: RazorGate’s Junk Mail Manager offers the only appliance that delivers on-box individual quarantine mailboxes on the edge of the network. This architectural approach reduces the load on the core mail server and network, thereby const effectively boosting overall performance and responsiveness of the message network. Junk Mail Manager helps manage storage and eases the administrative burden by integrating per-user controls like black and white lists and content filters, as well as automatic message ageing to auto-expire quarantined email. Designed to complement any existing mail server, Junk Mail Manager works with traditional desktop clients like Outlook or iNotes by delivering secure summary digests of quarantined messages directly to the inbox. Users can then view quarantined messages, as well as self-manage what ultimately gets delivered to their inbox. An intuitive web-based interface is also provided with Junk Mail Manager, so customers can securely log into their quarantine from any Internet browser and manage their email.

Email Encryption: Mirapoint and PGP Corporation have teamed up to offer secure, encrypted mail from desktop to server. PGP® Universal's fully automated network-based encryption for email, integrated with Mirapoint’s Razorgate™ email security and policy management solution, provides enterprise customers a comprehensive gateway email security solution that provides encryption, digital signatures, anti-virus, anti-spam, and content filtering—all managed through a common security policy.
