MailScan
3 is world's first 'Real-Time' Content Security Software that
performs content filtering and virus scanning to offer complete and
secure messaging solution for the e-business. MailScan 3 a has been designed to provide extensive security on a "Real-Time" basis against viruses and e-mails carrying harmful content. It deals with these threats before they arrive on the network, in the same way that a firewall controls user access. MailScan for Mail-Server acts like a "Transparent Gateway" between the Corporate Mail Server and the Internet. All the mails pass through MailScan that ensures security and delivery of messages. MailScan works on "TCP-IP Port level" and hence does not require an additional machine to act like a gateway. MailScan is based on MicroWorld's pioneering "MicroWorld-WinSock-Layer (MWL)" technology, the first of its kind in the world. |

What is MailScan 3? | ||||||
| MailScan
3 is world's first 'Real-Time' Content Security software that performs
content filtering and virus scanning. It offers a complete and a secure
messaging solution for e-business. With MailScan's revolutionary technology that creates a layer, termed as MicroWorld WinSock Layer (MWL), any traffic that comes into a company's network is scanned with respect to the security violations. If any security violation or threat is detected, MailScan immediately warns the network administrator and the sender of the possible actions. |
|||||||
|
Why MailScan 3? | ||||||
| With
the increased use of the Internet as a communication medium, the threat
of a viruses entering an organization has highly increased. About 90% of
the viruses today enter the organizations via Internet. The only
solution is to provide content security or, in a broader sense, security
plug-ins, at the gateway level and most importantly, everything has to
be on a "Real-Time" basis. MailScan has been developed to
deliver all these functions. MailScan provides a comprehensive virus, harmful-carrier and content security. It stops these threats before they arrive on to the company's network. |

If any security violation or threat is detected, MailScan immediately warns the network administrator and the sender of the possible actions. |
|
 |
Integration with the Mail Server |
| MailScan
works on the "TCP-IP Port level" and hence does not require an
additional machine to act like a gateway. MailScan is based on
MicroWorld's pioneering "MicroWorld-WinSock-Layer
(MWL)" technology, the first of its kind in the world. |
|
| MailScan
for Mail Server acts like a "transparent gateway" between the
Corporate Mail Server and the Internet. All the mails pass through
MailScan, thereby ensuring security and delivery of the messages. |
|
|
"Real-Time" Scanning |
| MailScan
captures all the data with the help of its revolutionary "MicroWorld
WinSock Layer", performs virus and content scanning at the gateway
and then delivers the content to the mail server, thereby providing
security on a "Real-Time" basis. |
|
|
Anti Virus Scanner |
| MailScan
has its' own Anti-Virus, 'eScan',
which has been integrated with the software. |
|
|
Content Scanning |
| All
incoming and outgoing messages are scanned for abusive words and/or
phrases, which are pre-defined by the Security Policy Administrator of
MailScan. If any such words are found, warning messages can optionally
be sent to the Administrator, the sender and the recipient. Global Content-Control policies (pre-defined words and phrases) are dynamically updated from the Internet at regular intervals, along with normal Anti-Virus and Policy updates. |
|
|
Compression |
| Oversized
files are compressed using the standard file compressors. MailScan can
be configured to create '.EXE' files or self-extracting zip files that
can be automatically uncompressed at the recipient's machine, even if
the recipient does not have an Unzip Package installed on his machine. |
|
|
Uncompress Facility |
| All
the incoming attachments, if in compressed form, can be optionally
uncompressed, scanned for viruses and then passed to the Mail Server for
distribution to the end users. |
|
|
Virus Scanning |
| MailScan
scans all the incoming & outgoing mails for viruses using the 'eScan'
Anti Virus software, developed by MicroWorld. Virus infected attachments are dis-infected and then forwarded to the actual recipient. Non-curable virus infected attachments are either deleted or quarantined. If MailScan detects a Word or Excel attachment that contains an infected macro, it removes the virus from the attachment. Clean Macros are not removed from the document. In case of any virus infection, appropriate warning messages, with the Virus Name, Action taken and e-mail details, are sent to the e-mail Sender, the Recipient(s) and the Mail-Server Administrator. |
|
|
Automatic Updates |
| MailScan
has self-learning and automatic detection capabilities that recognize
the Internet connectivity. When MailScan detects an Internet connection,
it automatically connects to MicroWorld's FTP server to check for and
download updates, if any. With this feature (that works on dedicated as
well as dial-up lines), all MailScan users across the world receive the
updates on a daily basis. Automatic updates can be via FTP or HTTP. Proxy and Firewall (Passive FTP) support is provided. Broken FTP updates can be resumed from the point-of-break. |
|
|
Scan Control |
| Administrators
can define a selective list of users whose mails need to be scanned for
any restrictive content, as defined by the Network Administrators.
Administrators can also block certain domains (users can neither send
mails to nor receive mails from such pre-defined domains). |
|
|
Attachment Reservation |
| Administrator
can restrict certain attachments from sending to or receiving from the
Internet. For example, a rule can be defined so that any e-mail received
by a user having *.EXE or *.COM file attachments, should be
auto-forwarded to the administrator. Unknown viruses can be very
effectively tackled using such rule-sets. |
|
|
Policy based Rule-Sets |
| MailScan
works on policy-based Rule-Sets. Rule-Sets have been categorized as
Universal Rule-Set and Company-specific Rule-Set. A Universal Rule-Set is defined by MicroWorld and is applicable to all the customers. Company-specific Rule-Sets are configured by the Network Administrators and are specific to a company. |
|
|
Integration with eScan |
| MailScan
integrates with eScan which is
the workstation version of MicroWorld's Content Security software.
Updates of anti-virus and other security policies flow automatically to
the workstation (if the user has eScan installed on workstation) without
any user intervention. |
|
|
Customized Messages |
| Customized
Virus Warning, Content Warning and Reserved Attachments Warning can be
sent to the Administrator, the sender and the recipient. Warning messages can either be text or HTML Messages. They can either be in English or any other language. |
|
|
Forcibly Scan HTML Messages |
| It
forcibly scans pure HTML messages (without any attachments) to prevent
any script viruses (like Bubble-boy). |
|
|
Malicious Attachments Deletion |
| It
provides an option to forcibly delete known malicious attachments
(Trojans and worms) at the gateway level itself. This list is
dynamically updated from the Internet at regular intervals, along with
normal Anti-Virus and Policy updates. |
|
|
S/MIME Check of Messages |
| MailScan
has the capability to check if an e-mail is digitally signed (S/MIME)
and warn the user, in case the content gets changed. |
|
|
MailScan works like a Service |
| It
can be installed as a System-Service on Windows 95/98/ME and Windows
NT/2000. |
|
|
Heuristics Scanning |
| MailScan's
heuristics scanning feature ensures that 90% of unknown viruses are
automatically detected by it, much before the world even gets to know
about these viruses. Suspicious attachments, caught by MailScan's
heuristics engine, are quarantined. |
|
|
Easy and convenient Administration |
| MailScan
provides a very easy and convenient way of administrating Rule-Sets and
Security Policies. Users can install MailScan and leave it at its
default settings. All threats, updates, Security-policies &
rule-sets are "automatically updated" from the Internet,
without any user-intervention. |
|
|
Get Up-to-date names of Viruses via e-mail |
| Whenever
MailScan automatically updates, the administrator is informed (via
e-mail) of the time of update, date of update, the number of files
downloaded and also the list of viruses that the update takes care of.
Virus Policy updates are done on a daily basis. |
|
|
Extensive Logs |
| Every
action of MailScan is properly logged. Size of Log files can be
controlled by the administrator and appropriate backups of old Log Files
are also maintained. |
