MailFrontier Anti-Virus includes MailFrontier Time Zero Virus Technology™ complemented by leading anti-virus signature engine partners to provide multi-layer defense against viruses, protecting users from known viruses as well as new, unique outbreaks. This real-time protection uses three types of anti-virus analysis:
Predictive techniques using Attachment Profiling
Responsive techniques using Email Anomaly Detection
Decisive techniques using Signature Technology
This comprehensive approach ensures that your email remains secure before, during, and after a virus outbreak.
Defend your network in zero time
Most anti-virus products rely primarily on signatures to stop viruses. These signatures are based on known viruses. Relying solely on this method leaves a dangerous window between the time a virus first appears and the time a signature is developed and deployed. At the moment the outbreak occurs - “Time Zero” - a virus has the opportunity to do significant damage to your computer system.
Every passing minute until a signature arrives is enough time for a virus to multiply exponentially and compromise another portion of your network.
MailFrontier Anti-Virus: MailFrontier Time Zero Virus Technology™ sets new standard for protection
To protect you during a virus outbreak, MailFrontier Anti-Virus has added two layers of defense with its new MailFrontier Time Zero Virus Technology™, in addition to signature technology. Emails potentially containing new viruses are identified, quarantined, and safely contained until a signature is developed that will remove the virus.
MailFrontier Time Zero Virus Technology delivers real-time protection during a virus outbreak through a predictive set of anti-virus techniques. MailFrontier Time Zero Virus Technology can be further enhanced with Avinti virtual machine technology. MailFrontier Time Zero Virus Technology is complemented with leading anti-virus engines from Kaspersky and McAfee. With MailFrontier Time Zero Virus Technology, MailFrontier Anti-Virus provides the only truly predictive, responsive, and decisive approach to virus protection available:
Predictive: New email viruses on the Internet are stopped using MailFrontier’s predictive techniques which perform statistical attachment analysis, detect deceptive files and check for MIME exploits. This approach can identify seemingly innocent files that may be harboring malicious code and can be enhanced with the addition of Avinti isolation technology.
Responsive: MailFrontier rapidly responds to virus outbreaks by focusing on their delivery vehicle - suspicious emails. MailFrontier applies its Self Monitoring Active Response Team (SMART) Network™, a 500,000-user real-time network which automatically engages in detecting and thwarting new threats. Emails identified by MailFrontier SMART Network™ that contain dangerous attachments are immediately and safely quarantined.
Decisive: MailFrontier’s innovative Time Zero Virus Technology is complemented with leading anti-virus engines from McAfee and Kaspersky. These anti-virus engines have a comprehensive set of signatures to prevent previously identified viruses from causing any damage to computer systems.
The Anti-Virus module joins the Anti-Spam and Anti-Fraud components keeping customers a step ahead of every form of dangerous email.
