IronPort X1000 Email Security System O v e r v i e w The IronPort X1000 high-performance appliance is built to protect the most demanding networks in the world. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and large enterprises continue to be the primary targets of spam and viruses. These organizations require a purpose-built email security appliance to combat these threats now, while laying a foundation for email security in the future. The IronPort X1000 provides industry leading email security on a platform that can meet today s demands for innovation and tomorrow s demands for scalability. ISPs and large enterprises need a secure and robust email security solution that protects all facets of their complex email infrastructures. IronPort s exclusive preventive filters and signature-based reactive filters, combined with content filtering and best-of-breed partner technology, provide the highest levels of email security available today while delivering unprecedented visibility and management tools. f e a t u r e s The IronPort X1000 provides carrier grade solutions for email security. PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP AsyncOS, IronPort s proprietary operating system, was built from the ground up to address the requirements of modern email gateways and position customers for the future of SMTP. Leveraging this hardened, customer-proven operating system, the IronPort X1000 can handle over one million messages per hour. IronPort s AsyncOS also supports thousands of simultaneous connections per system far more than traditional systems. A high performance spam defense is achieved through a purpose built solution for ISPs and large enterprises. IronPort Anti- Spam Filters utilize the industry s most innovative and high performance approach to threat detection, based on IronPort s unique Context Adaptive Scanning Engine (CASE). IronPort s CASE examines the complete context of a message providing more accurate spam filtering than traditional techniques. INNOVATION: PREVENTIVE SECURITY IronPort Reputation Filters provide an outer layer of defense using IronPort SenderBase data to perform a real-time email traffic threat assessment and identify suspicious email senders. IronPort Reputation Filters enable a variable response to spam, which allows for highly effective filtering with virtually no false positives.
F e a t u r e s ( c o n t i n u e d ) IronPort Virus Outbreak Filters identify and quarantine viruses hours before traditional virus signatures are available. These filters operate proactively to provide a critical first layer of defense against new outbreaks. DomainKeys technology digitally signs each outgoing message and establishes your identity with receivers on the other side of the Internet. IronPort remains at the forefront of sender authentication technology to protect your identity on the Internet by ensuring your mail is always signed with your private signature. IronPort Email Encryption with IronPort PXE technology provides secure two-way communication to any email inbox, without requiring users to install client software or deal with complex public key infrastructure. IronPort Bounce Verification tags messages with a digital watermark to provide filtering of bounce attacks at the network edge. Directory Harvest Attack Prevention tracks spammers who send to invalid recipients and blocks attempts to steal email directory information. MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING Centralized Management eliminates a single point of failure with superior peer to peer architecture, and makes managing multi-box installations of IronPort email security appliances simple. The ability to manage configuration at multiple levels allows organizations to manage globally while complying with local policies. Email Security Monitor delivers real-time threat monitoring and reporting. This technology tracks every system connecting to your IronPort appliance to identify Internet threats (such as spam, viruses and denial-ofservice attacks), monitor internal user trends and highlight compliance violations. B e n e f i t s Easily Handles ISP-Scale Email Volumes and Large-Scale Attacks The email perimeter continues to be under attack from a variety of message-borne threats; maintaining a high number of concurrent SMTP connections is a fundamental component to preventing DoS attacks from impacting your system availability. The IronPort X1000 supports thousands of simultaneous connections ensuring that your email infrastructure is never overwhelmed, even during the largest outbreaks or attacks. Filter at the Perimeter Reputation filtering at the perimeter allows the IronPort X1000 to apply mail flow policies as specified by the administrator. Mail that is suspicious is throttled, limiting the number of messages received in an hourly period. This variable response to spam allows for highly effective filtering with virtually no false positives. Fight Email Fraud ISPs and large enterprises play a crucial role in fighting email fraud. ISPs are rapidly adopting cryptographicbased means, such as DomainKeys to establish the true identity of email senders and protect their user base. The IronPort X1000 contains DomainKeys technology to digitally sign each outgoing message and establish your identity with receivers on the Internet. IronPort remains at the forefront of sender authentication technology to protect your identity.
