New Features
New features in Symantec Messaging Gateway provide better protection, greater control and easy management. Symantec introduces targeted attack protection, expanded URL reputation data, and simplified management with LDAP authentication.
Better Protection
- Targeted Attack Protection: Disarm, a proprietary Symantec technology, helps protect against targeted attacks and zero day malware by removing exploitable content from Microsoft Office and PDF attachments.
- Expanded URL Reputation: By analyzing destination website content, Messaging Gateway has more known threat URLs to block more spam, malware, and phishing messages.
- Outbound Sender Throttling: Prevent outbound spam attacks from compromised internal users.
Greater Control
- Granular Unscannable Verdicts: Customers have more control over how they want to treat messages that cannot be scanned, allowing discrete configurable actions for each unscannable reason.
- TLS Encryption: Transport Layer Security encryption allows more secure communication with trusted partners and senders and adds additional protection when used with Data Loss Prevention.
Easier Management
- LDAP Authenticated Administration: Management is simplified with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol authenticated administration, allowing Single Sign On, configuration of administrator policies using LDAP groups, and per-group access to message quarantine.
- Expanded Virtual Support: Microsoft Hyper-V is now supported in addition to VMWare hypervisors for additional deployment options.
