IronMail S-Series: The Secure Email Gateway for Small and Medium Businesses

The IronMail S-Series™ contains technology that is powerful enough for the Fortune 500, but engineered with small and medium-sized business in mind. Based on CipherTrust's award winning IronMail appliance, the S-Series combines the five critical components of spam and fraud prevention, virus and worm protection, policy and content compliance, email privacy, and secure gateway capabilities into a single platform designed to protect the email systems of small and medium sized businesses.

Key features of the IronMail S-Series include:

Spam Protection
IronMail provides the most effective and accurate spam detection available for small and medium sized businesses. IronMail integrates a broad range of anti-spam detection techniques into a comprehensive, policy-driven solution. The Spam Profiler then aggregates detection results to create a spam score, ensuring the highest levels of accuracy and effectiveness. The User Quarantine feature allows end-users to review their personal quarantine queue, ensuring that no legitimate mail has been captured and relieving administrators of the burden of tracking down messages.

Total Email Security
IronMail is purpose-built to secure email systems, going well beyond simple filtering of email messages. IronMail is a hardened appliance, deployed at the email gateway and designed to protect itself and vulnerable email servers from attack. IronMail's secure platform provides defense-in-depth, acting as an email application-specific firewall and intrusion prevention system to detect and block attacks such as buffer overflow. The heuristics-based Anomaly Detection Engine monitors all email traffic to ensure protection against the next generation of attacks.

Evolving Threat Response
IronMail is designed to provide overall protection for email systems by combining innovative adaptive learning technology with a highly extensible platform and supporting it with real time updates and threat responses. CipherTrust's FirstAct™ update service includes research and technology, distributed networks, and Internet traps, as well as industry experts to develop rules, policies and signatures for IronMail units in the field. This allows IronMail to maintain high levels of anti-spam effectiveness and provide threat prevention information for CipherTrust customers even as new threats emerge.

Easy to Deploy and Manage
IronMail is a simple to install appliance, administered through a secure, browser-based interface that can be configured in minutes. The S-Series leverages a genetic algorithm used to automatically tune the detection techniques within its correlation engine, the Spam Profiler. The addition of this algorithm virtually eliminates the need for ongoing administration. Daily reports give insight into email usage and traffic patterns, compliance with email policy, and anomaly and intrusion monitoring incidents with updates available as often as hourly.
