Postini

The challenge of combating spam and viruses, safeguarding content, and maintaining performance of email systems has reached crisis proportions, forcing email administrators and security managers to seek immediate relief. As companies assess anti-spam and email security alternatives—including purchasing software products—the shortcomings of first generation solutions become apparent.
Anti-spam software products and appliances all operate inside the corporate firewall, where email servers must store and manage ever-increasing volumes of unwanted messages. This not only results in higher hardware and software acquisition costs, it also adds an administrative burden on IT staff and increases email server maintenance costs.

Postini Perimeter Manager Enterprise Edition is the industry's most comprehensive, flexible and trusted email security service. Based on its patented managed service platform, Postini blocks spam, phishing, viruses and other email threats before they can reach your enterprise email gateway.

By choosing Postini Perimeter Manager Enterprise Edition, your enterprise can effectively prevent evolving email threats from impacting your network and end users, reduce complexity, ease your administrative burden and lower your total cost of ownership when compared to software and/or appliance products.

Benefits of Postini

Eliminate spam & viruses before they ever reach your email gateway
Postini Perimeter Manager® blocks unwanted spam messages, and malicious code with a 98% or better accuracy (backed by our service level guarantee) based on our exclusive technology and our experience processing about 5 billion email messages every week. Most importantly, Postini blocks spam and viruses before they pass through your enterprise firewall, saving bandwidth, server capacity, and minimizing administrative costs.

Stop IM threats and improve IM management
Postini Perimeter Manager for IM™ stops threats such as IM worms before they can enter your network via major consumer IM carriers. Infected or spoofed IM messages are blocked before your users can unknowingly activate a worm by clicking on a bogus URL.

Stop DoS and Directory Harvest Attacks before they harm your email servers
Typical email security software may assess message content or the source IP address of an email message, but it can't secure SMTP connections. Postini Perimeter Manager automatically stops Denial of Service (DoS) and Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA) that can sap up to 30% or more of your email server transaction capacity as servers attempt to respond to these brute force probes.

Automatically encrypt emails for secure transmission
Postini now supports the ability to secure email transmission based on the TLS protocol while at the same time filtering messages to block spam, viruses and threats as well as prevent email content policy violations. Processing more than 30 million secure message connections every day, Postini provides the world's largest encrypted email network, supporting secure email transmission that is automatic, easy to use and cost-effective.

Safeguard content before you lose valuable, proprietary information, or risk regulatory liability
Postini Perimeter Manager® not only blocks inbound spam and viruses, it also filters outbound email content according to your policies. This gives you ultimate control to safeguard and protect valuable proprietary or private information, while assuring that potentially abusive or offensive messages cannot be transmitted through your email system.

Improve performance before having to expand email capacity
Because Postini Perimeter Manager® enables you to manage the delivery of filtered email to your servers, you gain better load balancing control for incoming email messages and preventing server overloads. In the event of connectivity errors, or server outages, Postini alerts email administrators immediately and stores incoming email until servers are ready to accept email messages again.

Enhance visibility and reporting to monitor problems before they occur
Postini Perimeter Manager® provides real-time viewing and reporting of inbound and outbound email traffic offering unmatched visibility for both technicians and executives that can be customized to your particular environment. Real-time, daily, weekly and monthly reports help you analyze and track email traffic and trends to improve overall performance and spot issues before they evolve into major problems.
