Administrator Help | TRITON AP-EMAIL | Version 8.0.x

Welcome to Websense® TRITON® AP-EMAIL, which provides maximum protection for email systems to prevent malicious threats from entering an organization's network. This email solution provides comprehensive on-premises email security hosted on a Websense appliance (V- or X-Series). 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.

TRITON AP-EMAIL may also be deployed as a virtual appliance using a VMware platform (ESXi v4.0 or later). A TRITON Manager (or console) installed on a separate Windows machine is required for administration functions. The virtual appliance security mode is email only. Dual security 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 the Email Hybrid Module adds support for an email hybrid service pre-filtering capability "in the cloud," which analyzes 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 the Email Sandbox Module, which includes a set of cloud-based functions, to your product subscription:

The URL sandbox provides real-time analysis of uncategorized URLs that are embedded in inbound email. The file sandbox inspects email attachment file types that commonly contain security threats (including .exe, .pdf, .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, and archive files). See URL Sandbox and File Sandbox for details about these features.

Integration with the Email DLP Module provides valuable protection for an organization's most sensitive data and facilitates message encryption. Configure a data loss prevention policy in the TRITON console Data module to enable message encryption options that are configured in the Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Encryption page.

If your network includes Websense web protection, you can also use its URL analysis function. Your email protection software queries the Websense URL category master database and determines the risk level of a URL found in an email message. See URL analysis with Websense Web protection solutions 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 an email 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.
