Email Security Manager Help | Email Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

Websense Email Security Gateway Anywhere offers a flexible, comprehensive email security solution that lets you combine on-premises and hybrid (in-the-cloud) filtering as needed to manage inbound and outbound email for your organization.

The hybrid service provides an extra layer of email scanning, stopping spam, virus, phishing, and other malware attacks before they reach the network and considerably reducing email bandwidth and storage requirements. You can also use the hybrid service to encrypt outbound email before delivery to its recipient.

With Email Security Gateway Anywhere, you create policies for on-premises and hybrid filtering in the same user interface—the Email Security manager—and configuration, reporting, and management are centralized.

Before you can use the hybrid service to filter email for your organization, you must activate your hybrid account by entering a valid subscription key for Email Security Gateway Anywhere and configuring a number of settings in the Email Security manager and in your Domain Name System (DNS). This creates a connection between the on-premises and hybrid portions of Email Security Gateway Anywhere. See Registering with the hybrid service for details.

The Hybrid Service Log contains records of the email messages that are blocked by the hybrid service before they reach the network. See Hybrid Service Log for information about the contents of this log. See Configuring the Hybrid Service Log for details about enabling and scheduling Hybrid Service Log updates.
