| Protect Your Enterprise As businesses place increasing reliance on e-mail systems, they must address the growing security concerns from both e-mail borne attacks and attacks against vulnerable e-mail systems. When enterprise e-mail systems are left exposed by insecure devices, hackers can enter the organization and compromise the company’s corporate backbone, rendering investments in information technology security useless. The implications from a security breach can impact the company’s reputation, intellectual property and ability to comply with government regulations. The only way for organizations to fortify their e-mail systems is to use a comprehensive e-mail security gateway to lock down the e-mail systems. This approach includes: 1. Locking down the e-mail system at the perimeter – Perimeter control for the e-mail systems starts with deploying an e-mail gateway. The e-mail gateway should be purpose- built with a hardened operating system, and intrusion detection capabilities to prevent the gateway from being compromised. 2. Securing access from outside systems – The e-mail security gateway must be responsible for handling traffic from all external systems, and must ensure that traffic passed through is legitimate. By securing access from outside, applications like Web mail are prevented from being used to gain access to internal systems. 3. Real-time monitoring of e-mail traffic – Real-time monitoring of e-mail traffic is critical to preventing hackers from utilizing e-mail to gain access to internal systems. Detection of attacks and exploits in e-mail, such as malformed MIME, requires continuous monitoring of all e-mail. An e-mail security gateway should provide the following benefits: Simplify Administrator Work Rather than having multiple appliances from different vendors provide piecemeal protection for different areas of your e-mail network, the e-mail security solution that protects your enterprise should be capable of protecting the entire e-mail system on its own. Comprehensive security must be purpose-built into the e-mail security appliance, not added as an afterthought. Easy Integration Integrating an intrusion detection/prevention system can be complicated, depending on your requirements. However, these systems must not complicate a network, and they should not require the administrator to spend additional time managing them. Easy Configuration Many intrusion detection systems are difficult to navigate and configure. A purpose-built e- mail security system containing intrusion detection and prevention should be easy to configure and manage, with settings based on established best practices based on your particular type of business.
