Anti-Malware scanning for Exchange Server
OPSWAT has announced the release of the new Mail Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server for their multi-anti-malware scanning and threat prevention product Metascan. The Mail Agent is a result of OPSWAT¹s recent acquisition of Red Earth Software, developer of email security solutions for Exchange Server.
The new Mail Agent now extends OPSWAT’s advanced threat protection technology to email-borne threats.
With the Mail Agent, Metascan can intercept all incoming and outgoing email attachments on Microsoft Exchange Server and quickly scan them with multiple anti-malware engines (up to 30 engines). When a threat is found, emails can be placed in quarantine for further inspection. Each Metascan license includes a Mail Agent license for up to 25 users, with more users available for purchase.
“Using anti-malware multi-scanning is essential for email security since it significantly increases the malware detection rates and reduces the vulnerabilities created by a specific antivirus engine’s limitations,” said Mike Spykerman, Vice President of Product Management at OPSWAT.
“We are excited about the release of the Mail Agent for our product Metascan. The addition of email security, along with our server, web and end point security, has brought us another step closer towards reaching our goal of offering a complete solution for securing data work flow from all entry points,” said Benny Czarny, CEO at OPSWAT.
