Email Security Gateway and Email Security Gateway Anywhere v7.7.x
Websense® Email Security Gateway provides maximum protection for email systems to prevent malicious threats from entering an organization's network. Email Security provides comprehensive on-premises security hosted on a Websense V-Series™ appliance (V10000 G2 and V5000 G2). Email Security management functions reside on a separate Windows server in the TRITON™ Unified Security Center (TRITON Console).
Each email message is analyzed by a robust set of virus, spam, and URL filters to prevent infected email from entering a network. Custom content filters allow Email Security to analyze messages based on administrator-specified message attribute conditions. Inbound, outbound, and internal email policies can be applied to user-defined sets of senders and recipients.
A Websense Email Security Gateway Anywhere deployment adds support for a hybrid service pre-filtering capability "in the cloud," which analyzes the characteristics of incoming email against a Websense database of known spam and viruses.
Integration with TRITON - Data Security provides valuable data loss prevention (DLP) features to protect an organization's sensitive data. Policies configured in the Data Security module can detect the presence of company data and block the transmission of that data via email. Data Security can also determine whether a message should be encrypted and pass the message to an encryption server.
Logging and reporting capabilities allow an organization to view system and message status and generate reports of system and email traffic activity. Dashboard status charts (Main > Today and Main > History) are based on data collected by the Email Security logging and reporting functions.
A Personal Email Manager facility allows authorized end users to release email messages that Email Security 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.
