Opswat: MetaDefender Email Gateway Security

Email remains one of the most frequently used points of entry for cyber attackers. Organizations today face increasingly sophisticated social engineering techniques and malware execution attacks. One of the biggest difficulties is that these threats, combined with zero-day attacks, leave existing security systems slow and ineffective.

MetaDefender Email Gateway Security takes an organization's email security to the next level and provides an advanced security posture. With user-friendly management and enforcement capabilities, the solution allows organizations to improve their email protection effectively. It builds a proactive line of defence not only against known threats but against unknown attacks as well. In doing so, organizations can protect their critical data and communications while also increasing operational efficiency.

With advanced threat prevention capabilities, MetaDefender Email Gateway Security protects against email-borne malware attacks at the earliest possible stage. Thanks to the industry's best anti-spam and anti-phishing engines, the solution protects users against Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks while keeping false positive rates to a minimum.

Every email and attachment is put through high-speed, multi-layered scanning with 20 different anti-malware engines, so that all content — headers and body included — is analysed thoroughly. In addition, with Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR) and Proactive Data Loss Prevention (Proactive DLP), MetaDefender Email Gateway Security sanitizes suspicious attachments and removes sensitive data before delivery. Organizations are therefore protected proactively not only against known threats but against potential new ones.

MetaDefender Email Gateway Security does not just increase security — it also maintains and improves operational efficiency. With this solution, organizations can manage their email communications securely and smoothly and keep their critical data protected.

Anti-Phishing and Anti-Spam:
Using multiple detection technologies, emails are analysed with blacklisting and content filtering methods to detect spam, social engineering, fraud and phishing attacks.

Advanced Threat Protection:
Multiscanning technology increases detection rates for malware and advanced threats while reducing vulnerabilities to almost zero. This method goes beyond traditional signature detection, handling unknown threats with machine learning.

Smart Link Neutralization:
Links in emails are rewritten so that the user's request checks the URL's reputation in real time through MetaDefender Cloud.

Zero-Day Malware Prevention:
Deep CDR sanitizes more than 120 file types and email itself of malicious content, providing fast and effective protection against zero-day threats. This approach is 30 times faster than detection-based security.

Data Loss Prevention:
Proactive DLP inspects full email content to prevent sensitive data (PII) from being sent, and checks more than 40 file types. It also scans image files using Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

Manage Password Protected Attachments:
When the password is provided, password-protected attachments are scanned with Deep CDR and multiscanning and cleared of threats.

In today's constantly shifting threat landscape, this innovative security platform plays a critical role in improving the security of a business.
