Email Protection Services
With e-mail volumes increasing, security threats and administration issues have also grown, jeopardizing system performance, data integrity and end-user productivity. SunGard’s E-Mail Protection Service can help you manage these issues, at a predictable, economical per-mailbox, per-month cost.
The offering is a suite of anti-virus, anti-spam and content-filtering services that automatically route e-mails sent to and from your IT environment for scanning through our highly redundant and secure data centers.
E-mail containing confirmed viruses, suspected spam and unwanted content is quarantined at the perimeter—before it causes problems for computing and network resources, not to mention end-users. Quarantined e-mails are made available for viewing on a daily basis, and then periodically eliminated. An intelligent, automatically updated virus engine and simple administration tools add to its functionality.
This SunGard managed offering is built on an industry-leading e-mail security platform and includes all the needed software, devices, and support, enabling you to avoid costly equipment purchases and specialized staff requirements. And because it operates at the perimeter level, it doesn’t overload IT infrastructure resources.
Among the benefits for your organization are:
- Improved e-mail security
- Better performance for computing and network resources
- Less downtime and greater productivity
- Fewer troubleshooting and administration tasks for IT staff
- A lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Email Protection Services complements SunGard’s other Messaging & Collaboration Services, to deliver a start-to-finish solution that provides Information Availability for all your messaging needs.
SunGard EPS features include:
Spam Protection.
EPS’s multi-tiered engine inspects a wide range of attributes of incoming email. This third-generation EPS engine automatically evolves with spamming techniques and new virus signatures to help accurately predict and stop never-before-seen attacks. It doesn’t rely on signatures or fingerprinting techniques, which are easily fooled by spammers.
Virus Elimination.
A dedicated virus engine is automatically updated with new virus signatures as they are identified. An email firewall defends against directory harvest and denial-of-service attacks.
Single End User Digest.
EPS automatically synchronizes directory information from your email systems to ensure that safe lists include an accurate list of email addresses and aliases.
Intelligent Quarantine.
EPS provides variable retention policies and end-user management of white and black lists; no additional username or password is required.
