Websense® TRITON AP-EMAIL provides maximum protection for email systems to prevent malicious threats from entering an organization's network. TRITON AP-EMAIL provides comprehensive on-premises security hosted on a Websense appliance (V-Series or X-Series chassis security blade). Email system management functions reside on a separate Windows server in the TRITON® Manager (TRITON console).
TRITON AP-EMAIL may also be deployed on a virtual appliance using a VMware platform (ESXi v4.0 or later). The appliance image is available for download from MyWebsense in an open virtualization format (OVF) package. A TRITON manager installed on a separate Windows machine is required for email administration functions in this deployment. A virtual appliance may not be clustered with a hardware appliance. See the virtual appliance Quick Start Guide for deployment and configuration information.
Each email message is processed by a robust set of analytics to prevent malicious threats from entering a network. Custom content filters allow TRITON AP-EMAIL to analyze messages based on administrator-specified message attribute conditions. Commercial bulk email analysis can determine whether a message has been sent from a third-party bulk email management company or directly from a business. Inbound, outbound, and internal email policies can be applied to user-defined sets of senders and recipients.
Including the Email Hybrid Module in your deployment adds support for an email hybrid service pre-filtering capability in the cloud, which analyzes the characteristics of incoming email against a Websense database of known threats.
Enhance your security by adding the Email Sandbox Module, a set of cloud-based functions, to your subscription:
*
URL sandbox
*
File sandbox
*
Phishing education
The URL sandbox function provides real-time analysis of uncategorized URLs that are embedded in inbound mail. The file sandbox capability inspects email attachment file types that commonly contain security threats (including .exe, .pdf, .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, and archive files). Phishing education provides cloud-based analysis of an inbound message for phishing email characteristics. Options for handling suspected phishing mail include blocking the delivery or replacing the mail with a phishing education message. See Administrator Help for TRITON AP-EMAIL for details.
Add the Email Encryption Module to your subscription to use Websense advanced email encryption capabilities, in conjunction with the email hybrid service.
Integration with TRITON AP-DATA provides valuable data loss prevention (DLP) features to protect an organization's most sensitive data and facilitate message encryption. Policies configured in the Data module of the TRITON Manager can detect the presence of company data and block the transmission of that data via email. TRITON AP-DATA can also determine whether a message should be encrypted and pass the message to an encryption server.
If your network includes Websense TRITON AP-WEB or Web Filter & Security, you can also use its URL analysis function. TRITON AP-EMAIL queries the Websense URL category master database and determines the risk level of a URL found in an email message.
Logging and reporting capabilities allow an organization to view system and message status and generate reports of system and email traffic activity.
A Personal Email Manager facility allows authorized end users to release email messages that an email policy has blocked but that may be safe to deliver. End users can maintain personal Always Block and Always Permit lists of email addresses to simplify message delivery. User account management capabilities allow multiple email account control and the delegation of email account management to other individuals.
The Secure Message Delivery feature lets you configure delivery options for a secure portal in which your organization's customers may view, send, and manage encrypted email. For example, you may wish to include sensitive personal financial information in a message to a client. The portal provides a secure location for the transmission of this data.
