Layered email protection against phishing, malicious attachments and exploits.
Email security · Gateway and cloud
Application
Inspect messages before they reach the user
MetaDefender Email Security helps inspect messages and attachments that may carry malware, phishing or other threats that bypass basic email controls.
The solution is available in variants for different organisational models. Before deployment, we determine whether the environment needs gateway protection, a cloud service or a combination of both.
Key capabilities
Attachment inspection
Files and message elements can be checked through several layers before delivery to the mailbox.
Phishing protection
The process can consider signals related to links, sender, content and message delivery.
On-premises or cloud
The deployment model is selected for the mail architecture, regulatory needs and service ownership.
The protection and integration scope is confirmed for the mail system and selected product variant.
A message through protection
An example for a message containing a potentially dangerous attachment.
Receive the message
The message reaches the configured inspection point before the user mailbox.
Inspect the content
The system evaluates headers, links, attachments and other signals against policy.
Apply the decision
The message is delivered, held, inspected further or sent to quarantine.
Inform the team
The result can be connected with logs, alerts and the process for handling user reports.
For which environments
Business email
Protection helps reduce the risk associated with daily exchange of attachments and links.
Regulated organisations
Central rules and decision trails support oversight of an important communication channel.
Distributed teams
Consistent inspection supports users working from offices, homes and mobile devices.
Fit the mail architecture
Before deployment, we review message flow, existing filters, acceptable delays and the process for handling quarantine.
Exceptions, user notifications, report retention and connections between mail events and incident response also require attention.
