Email Security Manager Help | Email Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x
Welcome to Websense® Email Security Gateway, which provides maximum protection for email systems to prevent malicious threats from entering an organization's network. Email Security Gateway provides comprehensive on-premises email security hosted on a Websense appliance (V10000 G2, V10000 G3, V5000 G2, and X10G). Each message is processed by a robust set of antivirus and antispam analytics to prevent infected email from entering the network. Domain and IP address based message routing ensures reliable, accurate delivery of email.
Email Security Gateway may also be deployed as a virtual appliance using a VMware platform (ESXi v4.0 or later). A TRITON manager installed on a separate Windows machine is required for Email Security Gateway administration functions. The virtual appliance security mode is Email Security only. Dual mode functions are not supported. See the virtual appliance
Quick Start Guide
for complete information about deploying and configuring the virtual appliance.
A subscription to Websense Email Security Gateway Anywhere adds support for a hybrid service pre-filtering capability "in the cloud," which scans incoming email against a database of known spam. This feature can save network bandwidth and maintenance costs by dropping malicious email before it ever reaches an organization's network.
Enhance your security by adding Websense ThreatScope, a set of cloud-based functions, to your Email Security Gateway Anywhere subscription:
URL sandboxing
File sandboxing
Phishing detection
URL sandboxing provides real-time analysis of uncategorized URLs that are embedded in Email Security Gateway inbound mail. File sandboxing inspects email attachment file types that commonly contain security threats (including .exe, .pdf, .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, and archive files). See
URL Sandboxing
and
Websense ThreatScope
for details about these features. Phishing detection and 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
Phishing detection and education
for more information.
Integration with Websense Data Security provides valuable protection for an organization's most sensitive data and facilitates message encryption. Configure a data loss prevention policy in Data Security to enable message encryption options that are configured in the Email Security Gateway
Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Encryption
page.
If your network includes Websense Web Security, you can also use its URL analysis function. Email Security Gateway queries the Websense URL category master database and determines the risk level of a URL found in an email message. See
URL scanning with Web Security
for information.
Logging and reporting capabilities allow a company to view system status and generate reports of system and email traffic activity.
A Personal Email Manager facility allows authorized end users to manage email messages that Email Security policy has blocked but that may be safe to deliver. End users can maintain individual Always Block and Always Permit lists of email addresses to simplify message delivery.
